    Issi Nanabeyin on Exhibitions, an Architect + Market That Inspire

    July 8, 2023 - By 

    Exploring work in between design, architecture, and art, East London-based Issi Nanabeyin defies genres.

The Lightspeed L1 is 27 feet long, 8 feet and 6 inches wide, with 6 feet 9 inches head space while in road mode (10 feet when set up in camp…
