On Tuesday 3rd November 2009 Matt Lees, Sue Coles and I (Nathan Monk) took a 110 mile trip to the UK capital, London. Whilst in London we decided to give Airside a visit.
Back in 2008 we exhibited at Plus International Design Festival where we met lots of characters; one whom was Jamie Wieck from Airside.
We took the tube to Angel and began to walk. It was a good job we had our phones, because we quickly realised that we were completely stranded. We loaded up Google Maps and navigated ourselves to Airside. Luckily we had left plenty of time because we walked right past the entrance about 3 times! Eventually we realised where we needed to be and found the buzzer.

This week I have taken a break from the Birmingham joiner project. But for good reason! This Tuesday Nath, Sue and myself took our very first road trip to London. We went to see Jamie of Airside, and planned to pay Sarah Coleman’s witches exhibition a visit, but it was closed, so no luck there!
We drove part of the way, got lost trying to find an available car park within walking distance of a tube station, then finally jumped on the tube from Ruislip to Angel.
Check out Sue’s cheeky face! And Nath recording the days events. I’m sure he’ll be sorting out a short road trip film for you all to enjoy, although there won’t be much of the return journey as he slept all the way back!
We met Jamie while exhibiting at Plus festival last year, and have been desperate to visit the Airside studio ever since. And it was well worth the wait. The Airside studio is a beautiful working environment, and reflects their whole ethos as designers. Check out Nath’s blog feature (coming soon) for more details!
I managed to shoot a quick joiner of the top floor of Airside’s studio. This is where the animation team work, and where the gang all eat their lunch together. Lovely space!
