Right now you’re on a computer. Your phone is probably lying by your side. And it’s likely you’re about to check your Facebook feed in the next ten minutes. It’s good to be connected. But is all this time we’re spending staring at screens good for us? Are there alternative ways to get our connectivity fix? Have we become a little too dependent on technology?

For this year’s London Design Festival, Protein has teamed up with Wallpaper* magazine’s Editor-at-Large Henrietta Thompson to create an exhibition called Slow Tech that explores the importance of digital downtime.

The show will feature exclusive prototype designs by 10 established and upcoming designers, including Hugo Eccles , Héctor Serrano, Samuel Wilkinson and Nic Roope. London-based design consultancy Kiwi&Pom will be contributing a couple of concepts as well as being responsible for the exhibition layout and treatment.

The exhibition opens on the 17th September and will run until the end of London Design Festival. They’re also hosting a late night opening on Tuesday 20th September, so stop by, have a look at the show and share a beer with them.
