PAUL SMITH X ARTEK – THE STOOL 60

Posted on 2026-08-24

Following the success of the debut collaboration, Paul Smith is thrilled to announce a continuation of the partnership with the Finnish designers: Artek Reimagined by Paul Smith, Edition Two.

This time, the collaboration consists of a single piece: the Stool 60, which arrives in a brand-new set of colours. As before, the stool’s seat is stained in a natural wood tone, concealing a hidden flash of colour: flip it over and the underside of the seat, painted in a bold pillar box red, is revealed. This is a reference to the vibrant linings which often hide within the more understated exteriors of Paul Smith suits – a perfect example of the ‘twist’ that Sir Paul likes to incorporate into all of his designs. The legs, meanwhile, are painted in sky blue, rust, and British racing green respectively, colours plucked from among the forty shades that make up the Signature Stripe.

SPACE AFRIKA – FROM THE HEART OF KNOWING

Posted on 2026-08-24

Space Afrika, the Manchester/Berlin-based duo of Joshua Tarelle Reid and Joshua Inyang, make raw, intensely detailed, visceral music with shades of ambient, trip-hop, techno, and modern classical, drawing spacious urban dubscapes from the contours of their city. Quiet Storm, the duo’s highly anticipated follow-up to their 2021 LP on Dais Records, expands on its predecessor’s sound and scale in every direction as a sprawling, collaborative vision shaped with profound patience and intention. The leap, both technical and emotional, outlines the duo’s development — two polymath producers, composers, performers, and visual artists who’ve met expectations with mastery, embedding their own coming-of-age story within a moving suite of cathartic abstraction.

OPEN MIKE EAGLE & KENNY SEGAL – DOOMED!

Posted on 2026-08-24

Longtime friends and admirers Open Mike Eagle and Kenny Segal link up for their first ever full length collab DOOMED! Out on rap powerhouse Backwoodz Studioz, DOOMED! is as much a breakup album as it is a love letter to their shared homebase of Los Angeles. Two transplants from a young age drawn in by the city’s lengthy hip hop history, it makes perfect sense that their official debut would revolve around a shared love of those classic sounds. Flanked by a who’s who of LA players, Mike wraps exacting, funny-yet-brutal lines from the eye of the storm (that storm being a tumultuous relationship on the outs) around some of Segal’s grooviest production yet.

LAURA AGUILAR – BODY AND LANDSCAPE

Posted on 2026-08-24

Drawing from works created between the late 1980s and the early 2000s, the exhibition highlights Aguilar’s deeply personal approach to photography, where the body becomes both subject and site of meaning.

Aguilar’s images place her own figure within the arid terrains of Southern California and the Southwest, transforming these landscapes into spaces of reflection and affirmation. Rather than presenting nature as a distant or sublime backdrop, she engages it as an extension of the self. Her body, often positioned in quiet dialogue with rocks, sand, and open horizons, resists conventional ideals of beauty and visibility, asserting instead a presence grounded in vulnerability and strength.

Opposite – Grounded #106, 2006–2007

Exhibition runs through to August 29th, 2026
