Selfridges Bright Young Things 2013 - THE POUNDSHOP

The Poundshop, founded in 2010, is a platform for designers to sell designer goods under the strict brief that the product is to be sold within the affordable price bands £1, £5, and £10. The aim of The Poundshop is to spread design to a wider audience by making it accessible through price and engagement. Having met at the Royal College of Art, George Wu, Sarah Gottlieb and Sara Melin founded The Poundshop after a discussion about their love for design shops. but as the recession just hit, not having the capital to set one up themselves. What started as a joke, turned into a real exhibition as they set themselves the challenge to create the first design poundshop. http://www.selfridges.com/byt #byt2013
