Tiago da Fonseca, ‘Power Station’

£ 29.00

After a Degree in Industrial Design from the University of Lisbon, Tiago da Fonseca completed a Design Products MA at the Royal College of Art London in 2008, all the while exhibiting his work throughout Europe and as far afield as South Korea. Tiago's designs are witty with the uncanny capacity to provide insight into the human condition, be it a fruit juicer with a touch of kink, bedsheets to ease us into sound peaceful slumber and a considerately designed pillow on which to rest one's TV dinner. With his £250 Million Topless Table, da Fonseca hints at the frustration and folly of seeing the once gloriously functional and striking landmark of London, Sir Giles Scott's Battersea Power Station, in need of a fundamental structural component. It seems Tiago could not resist its allure once again for one of his designs commissioned by the London Design Festival!

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
