.SUPERTRAMP
Last Thursday night I went along to welcome a friend into his new summer home, a caravan push bike.
Jacob aka 'Supertramp' is embarking on a voyage around London exploring the concept of micro-sized living; inspired by a more minimal, fluid and socially aware approach to future living, the project seeks to promote and inspire leaner, more livable life forms.
'Supertramp' is a new communal 'Future platform' initiative from Jacob's recently founded Lehman B, dubbed a ‘do tank’ – a project based on the belief that the best way to explore and embrace what the future holds is by living it and doing it.
His new mobile house doubles up as an agency and a social facility point, offering a unique, intimate and conversational platform where people will both inspire and be inspired.
He will move around London on a weekly basis, setting up in proximity to bars, restaurants, studios, companies and galleries. Every week a new topical theme will be discussed and explored as part of the journey. He is going to be holding events with casual and curated conversations and facilitated workshops, with key speakers to host special nights. Individuals and experts can share ideas, create insight, decipher knowledge and instigate real investigations and experiments that inform how a braver new world could potentially look and feel
This summer’s rather interesting topics are going to include: value change, sector convergence, betapreneurialism, civic capital, antiheroic culture and brave new lives.
Jacobs embarks on his maiden voyage around London on June 2nd at The School of Life, where designer Thomas Thwaites will be hosting the first curated conversation' on mircoliving. He shall be clad in the 'nomadic range' created by Romanian fashion label Rozalb de Mura the Romanian and searching for the flattest routes to his urban destinations possible. He is somewhat lacking gears and breaks, so I plan to give him a helping hand and pop in for tea one day soon!
