Airside recently gave a talk at the Design Museum to coincide with our inclusion in their Super Contemporary exhibition. You can now listen to our design-related ramblings in podcast form, thanks to Dezeen Magazine.

In it Fred discusses jobs for big money and small change. Jamie talks branding and protest movements, while Malika gets down and dirty with her erotic alphabet. Then Nat cleans things up with a piece on our environmentally friendly attitude and her not-for-profit social enterprise Three Trees Don’t Make a Forest, before some members of the audience interrogate us with their tricky questions.

Listen to the podcast here.

At long last we are delighted to unveil the new website for our favourite bakers, Konditor & Cook.

Airside, with fantastic back-end support from the guys at With Associates, has completely redesigned the London based cake makers website.

Aside from incorporating the Airside pattern that adorns the Konditor & Cook cake boxes, the new site now revolves around a blog that is frequently updated with their latest news, events and photos of their latest creations.

Check out this amazing Halloween pumpkin cake, or the archive photo of Sir Ian McKellen transforming a Konditor & Cook gingerbread man into Gandalf – Lord of Cake Rings indeed.

Elsewhere you can find information on their full range of cakes, maps and contact details for all their London bakeries and links to their brilliant Flickr photostream and Twitter updates.

Meanwhile we’re excitedly waiting for our payment in cakes to arrive. Mmmmm.

Airside are taking part in this Friday's Birthday Cake Bakeoff at Design Museum.

The museum is celebrating its 20th birthday and have asked a fantastic selection of designers to don baker's hat and bake them a cake.

So we teamed up with our friends at Konditor & Cook, who know a thing or two about the art of baking, and are preparing something special which will be on display for one night only this Friday. And then hopefully we get to eat it.

Yum. Check out the Design Museum site for more details.
