The We’re S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G series (Dirty Pennies, Dirty Joke, Éclair) was shown as part of the 2008 exhibition called The Power of PA-AH! by design co-operative KithKin, whose interests combine conceptual product design and fine art.
The Power of PA-AH! was part of the DesignersBlock exhibition in Covent Garden. It placed the stories of the interventions within a context crossing between design and fine art, production and distribution.

Paah (paa) Informal
- interj.
- Used to express wonder, amazment, or great pleasure. Usually said at a moment when struck by the brilliance of something and often proclaimed in conjunction with a wry smile or a short outburst of laughter.
KithKin are fascinated by that moment when you look at something, when it strikes you with its brilliance, for some it raised a wry smile, other laugh out loud, some want to touch it and others pronounce “paah”.
KithKin presents began in 2007 when the founders of KithKin graduated form Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Since then, KithKin have built a unique brand of exhibition, selecting inspirational work and exporting it around the world to London, Tokyo, Birmingham and Milan.
The work in this year's show has been forged by imaginative minds. The result are objects that we hope will touch you on an emotive level, bring a smile to your face, and leave you pondering what, if, and why not?
