Ready Made Go returns to Ace Hotel London for its third edition during London Design Festival this September. Curated by Laura Houseley of Modern Design Review magazine, the exhibition will launch a series of specially commissioned products by London-based designers. The objects range from ceramics to furniture and all are for permanent use in Ace Hotel London. This year, five designers will create six new products for the hotel: Ian McIntyre, James Shaw, Michael Marriott. Oscar Diaz. Soft Baroque.

Ready Made Go 3 will see a focus on sustainable and recycled materials: Smile Plastic, a sheet material created from recycled plastics, will be used by Michael Marriott in a design for high café stools. James Shaw will make cake display stands and countertop accessories for Ace Hotel’s Bulldog Edition café using Plastic Baroque, an extruded recycled plastic technique that Shaw has developed himself in his South London studio. Design duo Soft Baroque are creating a series of coffee tables for the Hotel’s lobby using an innovative new Silicastone material; Alusid, made from waste ceramics and glass.

James Shaw will also create a temporary installation at the entrance of Ace Hotel London using his Plastic Baroque technique for the duration of London Design Festival.

This year’s Ready Made Go presentation will be complemented by the introduction of an audio guide that will give visitors a personal tour through the exhibition and provide insights into each of the designs.
