YCN show review

Firstly I would like to say Thank You to all that took the time out to come and visit my show at YCN. Below are a few shots (no pun intended) of the show over the last two weeks. The slingshot firing range proved a great success with over 500 paintball's getting blasted into the wall in the first week alone! I can't wait to do something similar again.

 If you missed the show, and still want to see the slingshots, fear not. The Slingshots will be staying in the YCN Shop HERE.

Take a shot at YCN

As part of this year's London Design Festival we are delighted to welcome Christopher Jarratt and his extra-ordinary hand made slingshots to YCN at 72 Rivington Street. You can buy them online here too.

Christopher has produced an exclusive special edition of 30 slings and three accompanying big ones to form the centrepiece of our window display.

All are available for sale both at 72 Rivington Street and online, and there's a "try before you buy" firing range in store, where you can test your aim and see what a paintball does to a wall when fired out of a hand crafted slingshot. Safety glasses provided.

The show runs from Saturday, 17th – 25th September with a Private View on Tuesday 20th September. For more information or press "shots" please email camilla@ycnonline.com or call +44 (0)20 7033 2140.
