Object of the week: Picture Books by Miranda Sofroniou
Inspired by the BBC series Frozen Planet Miranda Sofroniou brings these fun, factual and colourful picture books alive. Two beautiful books available that delve into the world of the Ocean and the Arctic..
These two factual picture books are for children aged 3 - 5. Research included interviewing children to find out what they thought about the Arctic and responding to make the books educational as well as fun.
Having started out as a fine art painter, Miranda Sofroniou decided to study illustration and has not looked back since, creating a wonderful series of books and drawings.“I specialise in mixed media to create lively, colourful and playful illustrations. I primarily work within the field of children’s picture books, creating this a factual, entertaining and image based series. Drawing is at the heart of my practice and I often develop my work from drawings done while travelling and observing all aspects of life.”Miranda’s work was picked out as a favourite of Chelsea Fine art Alumna and co-founder of Tatty Devine, Harriet Vine during our selection panel. Mother of a four year old Harriet knows how hard it is to find tasteful and well designed children’s items.

Object of the week: Katharina Eisenkoeck set of bowls
Part of our Spring Collection 2013: A unique long lasting set of 3 concrete bowls created by designer Katharina Eisenkoeck
Katharina Eisenkoeck is a designer maker whose practice involves furniture and product making with a sculptural simplicity and functionality influenced through the distinct use of materials. Eisenkoeck shows a great interest in the revival of ancient techniques and craft processes brought into a new context as specifically shown in her work with leather. Her approach to design can be described as a practical research through material experimentation in order to create objects that are on one hand long lasting but also show character of uniqueness through the making.
Katharina Eisenkoeck’s carpentry techniques started at an early stage of her career at the Art and Design School Ortwein in Graz. Before settling into the profession of a designer maker she experienced an education in architecture at the Technical University in Vienna. A year later she went on to complete her Bachelor at Central Saint Martins College in BA Arts Design and Environment in London. That led her to become an interior and exhibition designer at Lomography where she travelled and worked in cities like Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Tokyo, etc. to project manage the set up of Lomography gallery stores. The beauty and quality of making products by hand though has always led her back to the profession of a designer maker. In 2011 she therefore decided to set up her own studio while completing her Masters degree at Camberwell College of Arts in the program MA Designer Maker where she graduated in 2012.Set of 3 bowls available to BUY NOW online for £147Sizes of 3 bowls:Large: d:24cm h:5cm,Medium: d:23cm h:5cmSmall: d:20cm h:5cm.“When the concrete is poured into the mould sometimes bubbles rise to the surface, depending on that I sometimes have to sand off a larger amount than on others. That means the sizes can vary slightly up or down 1 cm max.”FREE UK DELIVERYFor more information please contact: info@madeinartslondon.com
