The collaboration between MINI LIVING and Jacob is based on the idea of London as a city of contrasts between past and present. 'I've always been interested in combinations, juxtapositions and fusions; in how projects can draw on different references and forge alternative possibilities,' Jacob explains. 'Often this means bringing apparent opposites together to create unexpected alliances and design languages. The aim is to open up the possibilities of design while also making reference to the world around us.' MINI LIVING will present additional URBAN CABIN installations in major global cities in the coming months, the next of which will be unveiled in New York during 'Archtober'. The URBAN CABIN will be revealed at A/D/O, a space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn dedicated to investigating the role of design in shaping our future. Built for designers yet open to all, A/D/O features a workspace with prototyping facilities, a communal seating area, a design store, a restaurant, as well as range of programming geared towards professional designers, intended to provoke and invigorate various creative practices. The installation at A/D/O will host events and workshops which will focus on the further development of the URBAN CABIN into an inhabitable concept for 2018. London Design Festival Director Ben Evans explains: 'Everyone lives and works somewhere, but most of us rarely think about the spaces and places we inhabit. This landmark project, like all London Design Festival projects, challenges us to pause and consider how design frames and defines our living world.'
