YNM Creative Director Ben Farleigh is an artist as well as designer, and you can see his work currently on display in the shop window of SKK
SKK is a well established, fantastic lighting store in Soho (London) run by the man himself - Shiu Kay Kan.
The store is at 34 Lexington Street London W1F 0LH
Ben has been generating his ‘Toytems’ for a few years, perfecting his style and scouring for materials to create his one-off sculptures.
Some are towering conglomerates of toys - all sourced second hand and reclaimed and rejustified as the beautiful objects they are.
Most are comprised of toys mounted onto Found London Brick. The brick is something that Ben has obsessed with for some time - as the building blocks of his suburban landscape, and an object of perfect proportion that we take for granted.
If you can’t make it to Lexington street over the next few weeks, then you can have a closer look at some of Ben’s work at www.benfarleigh.com
