Lot’s of people coming and looking at the site (we know, we’ve been checking!) and we are guessing a lot of people wondering what’s going on with us - people are even calling our UK office and asking!

Believe it or not we have been hard at work planning new kit (which is why we put a hold on any new GTO offerings). Seems easy but when you want to do something worthwhile and work to some rather new design principles and methodologies, it always ends up harder than what you thought. We are not going to let out what we are doing with Lab-Gear as a whole just yet but product wise we can say that we have coming:

• A new 165gsm Merino sleeveless base.
• A 165gsm Merino T
• Some spanky cotton drill cruiser shorts
• All new under-knicks/boxers to go with the spanky shorts.
• And…. something we are not telling you but might surprise many!

Our aim is have a line that is simple, solid and made up of natural fibre kit that you can really do a lot with. And we are thinking when we get ready to do the run, we might do some special eds. available to those on the newsletter only! Keep your eyes peeled.

Some of the Bomb Squad Industries crew work quite a bit in the area of Spatial Design, usually connected with retail or marketing. Without fail though, it is working in this capacity where we find the greatest lack of understanding or confusion about just what it is designers in this field actually do. (more…)

The artist states:

“I think that our distance from nature is already a cliché. City dwellers often have no relationship with animals or greenery. As a public artist I feel a sense of duty to draw attention to deficiencies in our everyday life. As a cultivator of eco-urban sensitivity, I usually go back to the sites to visit my “plants” or “moss”, sometimes to repair them a bit, but nothing more generally as they tend to get enough water from the air, condensation, and rain - especially in certain seasons. I also like to let them live by themselves. From the moment I put them on the street they start to have their own life. For me, the reaction of life on the street is also very important. I am curious about how people receive them, if they just leave them alone, or if they want to, take care of them or dismantle them. This is what makes my work similar to graffiti, although I am searching for a deeper social meaning and a dialogue with memories of the animals and gardens of my past in a small town in Central Europe. I believe that if everyone had a garden of their own to cultivate, we would have a much more balanced relation to our territories. Of course, a garden can be many things.”
