Shinola's London store plays host to another temporary workspace - previously occupied by Apron maker, Nigel Ruwende, of Saint & Birchley, Peter Bellerby of Bellerby&Co Globemakers, and Thidaa of Blue Guy Pottery.

The Floridian-born maker completed her Masters at Royal College of Art, London, in Product Design, and while researching for a project she stumbled across the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. Fügler's new love for bells led to her creating the Bells of London project: with each bell in the collection having its only unique acoustic sound, representing its own London borough.

The Community of Craft series is a great chance to see the inner working of how a designer goes about producing a product of passion, and in this case it's Fügler's love of an old English craft. Visit the store between Friday 26th - Sunday 27th September to see the Bells of London project in full swing.
