Join Mark Eley of Eley Kishimoto, Mark Emerson of 6a Architects and Elias Redstone of The Architecture Foundation as they talk about the Hairywood collaboration. A model of their urban summer house installation can be seen in the exhibition. Chaired by Masoud Golsorkhi, editor of Tank magazine.

As it turns out, the seemingly distant realms of fashion and architecture have in fact been exchanging principles and techniques on a more than casual basis for some time now, as you'll discover at the newly opened Skin+Bones: Parallel Practices In Fashion And Architecture at Somerset House. One of over 200 works on show is the instantly recognisable Hairywood installation (albeit in model form) that was commissioned by The Architecture Foundation and designed by 6a Architects (famed for their oki-ni flagship store refurb on Savile Row) in collaboration with Eley Kishimoto (the eclectic, print-orientated fashion house). Back in the summer of 2005, Hairywood stationed its 6-metre tall frame on Old Street to act as a viewpoint allowing the public to stand back and contemplate urban life, in a fleeting moment of intimacy. The installation, clad in laser-cut plywood boasting Eley Kishimoto's swirly-gig Rapunzel-esque design, has been labelled an urban tower, a summerhouse, a pavilion, even a giant periscope. So intriguing is this piece that Somerset House is returning the tower to the streets of London -Covent Garden Piazza to be precise-  in June. What's more, the Hairywood collaborators are reuniting for an evening of discussion focusing on their joint creation.
