STEPHEN JOHNSON URGES US TO PLAY MORE

As adults, the opportunity to ‘play’ is minimal. Often the free time we once had to explore and imagine is replaced with more pressing matters. But designer Stephen Johnson believes we should make more time for this type of hands-on exploration. Boasting strength and rigidity when set, PLAY is a series of objects featuring colourful synthetic dough – inspired by the type we played with as children. Offering “innovative freedom”, spontaneity is highly encouraged. As well as the collection, which features domed pendant lights, the dough can help to bind contrasting materials, such as wood and metal, marble and glass.
