“Infinite Space”

August and September are spent prepping for the London Design Festival. This year was extra special, as Hypeform held its first London event in collaboration with design atelier Time&Space in the form of a film screening. 

Founded by photographer Armand Da Silva and his partner Tyler Phoenix, it specializes in sourcing and consulting services for furniture, as well as offering up its own extensive collection for prop hire. Located in Deptford, South-East London, the triple-height space is filled with design icons new and—from Toogood’s Roly Poly chair to the folding Plia Chair. 

The film shown, “Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner” took the audience on a tour of the American architect’s projects, featuring commentary from people who live in them, and those who helped him to build them. 

Over the course of his career, Lautner became known for his visionary, often space-age-looking style. Most of his buildings are located in and near Los Angeles, but it was the landscape of his hometown in Michigan that consistently inspired him. 

The Sheats-Goldstein Residence in LA, which was built between 1961 and 1963, has been a popular location (including scenes for Pharrell and Snoop Dogg’s “Let’s Get Blown,” Doja Cat’s “Say So,” and movie “The Big Lebowski.”)
