"What qualifies as a crisis? RCA Design Products students' sold-out-shop

will offer the stimulus to rethink what a crisis actually is..." 14 Royal College of Art postgraduate design students will stage a pop-up Crisis Shop at Milan Design Week where they will show a wide range of crisis products. The shop itself is inspired by crisis, "a canopy, attached by suction pads, hooks and grommets will stretch across the glass surfaces of the showroom. Under extreme tension, the canopy serves to communicate a sense of urgency, a material under stress and physical tension." Jamie Tunnard's glass Balance Lamp above is one of the many crisis products, more after the jump.
