John Skinner owns Studio Skinky - not to be confused with 'kinky' or 'stinky'!
Studio Skinky is a design workshop that values items which are well made, express character, simple in design and consider the well-being of our planet. The work ranges from soft furnishings, furniture and worn accessories, to fine art pieces. They design things that people want but can never find in the stores.
We chat to John, as well as Seo Ryung Lee - Interior Designer and cushion maker, at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum where the 12th International Design Festival is being held from 8-24 August 2008.
It's all in the bag SkillsOne visits Crumpler in Sydney, to find out how they create their custom designs on bags. From the initial design, to the computer representation - then how they are sewn onto the bag. We find out how these unique bags are made!
