Comment on Having a session with the recession. by Ian Atkins

Are you referring to KithKin here?

I’m a little confused. Not sure what designs you are accusing us of ripping off. Generally our in work is these very concepts you see here, KithKin Presents, Working Title and SomeRightsReserved. We studied as product ‘designers’ but use our skills in a much more holistic and creative way than we where ever taught, or than could be achieved by merely outputting ‘product’.

At our exhibitions we act as facilitators, exhibiting other peoples work, rather than our own, in most cases. If you can name the designs in question then I’m sure its a case of two people with two ideas, independently conceived and developed.

As for SomeRightsReserved our download shop where we distribute digital blueprints, the idea was developed and released in April 2008 in Milan. At the time we where only aware of Ponoko also operating in this arena.

But the concept of downloading is nothing new, SomeRightsReserved is merely an application and communication of this, with some lateral thinking.

Not to validate your ending comment my reply and your comment are published for all to see, albeit that your original comment is off topic. It’s a shame you don’t value what we do, and have done for young designers.

What a great new concept!!…. problem is that this group of ‘designers’ ripped off 4 or 5 of the designs of the UK based group ‘10′ which were exhibited in their 2008 exhibition ‘Wood’ at 100% Design London. They also lifted the idea of selling blueprints of the designs from one of the members of that group. Unfortunately this sort of plagiarism is seen far too often in the design world and all too often goes unpunished and without comment.

While I do not disagree with you about the many challenges mankind faces, I would like to suggest that perhaps you are approaching this subject from a difficult angle, that of within the design community, from “within design”. This Leads to a dilemma as what you see in Milan, produced by “Designers” does not ring true with your idea of what design should and has historically been.

There are plenty of people who are producing what you would call “good design” but perhaps the Milan Design Fair is not the best place to look for them. Surely its a bit like going to the opera in search of Cheryl Cole.

Outstanding article, i feel humbled and in fact worthless. I thank you for this dearly kind sir. My study of the flagellum has not lead to such conclusions. Although i do appreciate a challenge.
Yours dearly.
