Last Tuesday we moved in, at 11.30am we had power, by 4pm phones and systems are operational, by 6.30 we had 20 student attending agIdeas drop in for the studio access programme.

To celebrate our move we produced a series of discrete badges for visitors make by our friends at Patricks Badges in North Melbourne, drop by for your little piece of design…

To coincide with Telstra’s love of dragging their feet, we now have a hi speed adsl which means we can run our studio. Well done Telstra, it only took 4 1/2 weeks.

How do you get there?

Train
Catch the Sandringham/Frankston train from Flinders Street Station at 5.49/6.02/6.12pm, jump off at South Yarra Station, walk up the ramp, through the turnstiles, turn left at Toorak Road, then walk down Toorak Road (towards Chapel) for 20 metres, then turn left down Yarra Street.

Studio Pip and Co has commenced a “pop up” project for six months in the retail precinct at South Yarra’s new landmark, Seven Yarra – comprising 78 residences on its upper levels and the 72 apartments of the Punt Hill Apartment Hotel.

We are swapping the confines of our out-of-the-way studio space to a shopfront. The space is a working design project, starting with the store’s window lettering, the studio will bring to life the design process and the making of products. In 24 weeks a working studio, gallery, retail space, and a sponsor drop in zone promises to come and go.

During this time a new website will be launched where design meets culture, work for clients developed, design wares sold, along with a little rattle and hum.

Existing clients, past clients and new clients, along with curious people and window shoppers are most welcome. Let’s see what happens when you cross a boutique design studio with a retail experience with a dash of public interaction.

We have develop a range of designer rebels to help celebrate our leap into the unknown – Nine Design Lives, Bloody Mindedness, Scary Ideas, Alien Concept and Tough-as metal type, to assist with spreading the word. Let us know your favourite rebel to help us with developing a limited edition – South Yarra Sell Out poster and tea towel.
