WELCOME
CHAIRMAN SIR JOHN SORRELL CBE
It is easy to get lost in London.
It is a big, diverse city with so
much going on. Music, dance,
theatre, film, art and, of course,
design. Especially design.
That is what makes it so
exciting. Even for a born and
bred Londoner like me there is
still a thrill when I turn a corner,
not quite sure where I am, and
discover something — a place,
a building, a statue — I have
never seen before.
Now in its 12th year, the London
Design Festival presents a
maze of events, exhibitions,
installations, debates, launches,
pop-ups and parties, in the
north, south, east and west
of the city. Whatever your
experience of design, I think that
somewhere on your journey
around the Festival you will turn
a corner and be confronted
by a new idea which challenges
your thinking, inspires you or
just makes you smile.
I hope you have a great Festival.
DIRECTOR BEN EVANS
Our graphic identity this year
tells you to lose yourself in
the London Design Festival.
We don’t really mean it.
There is too much to see at the
Festival and you have to make
choices. The best things to go
and see are not what you know
but what you don’t know.
That’s where we can help.

Festival 2014 Guide proudly supported
by G . F Smith. Printed on Heaven 42.

papers from G . F Smith

This newly formatted guide is
designed to help you navigate
your way through the Festival.
I recommend spending some
time in one of our specially
designated Design Districts
where everything is within
walking distance.
Likewise, the website will
help you discover new projects.
Try the My Festival option for
a bespoke tour or use the event
search to see what is nearby.
The digital support works across
all devices too.
Finally, we have asked various
London design people to make
some choices for you. Why not
let them show you what you
don’t yet know.
Enjoy the Festival.

NAVIGATE YOUR LONDON
DESIGN FESTIVAL
Are you new to the Festival? Maybe you’ve
visited before but aren’t quite sure where to
start? Let us help you lose yourself in the
London Design Festival 2014.
Indeed, this volume of traffic is illustrative of the
huge appetite for design that now extends well
beyond the confines of the industry itself,
reaching a growing band of ‘design tourists’.
Picking up this guide or browsing
londondesignfestival.com, you’d be forgiven
for feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the
enormity of events, installations, talks and
workshops that are taking place across
London this September. Comprising over
300 individual happenings (not to mention
the parties!), it is essential that you plan your
way around the Festival to make the most
of the greatest annual celebration of design
in London.
So what kind of design can you expect to see
at the London Design Festival? During the
Festival, you will encounter some of the finest
examples of furniture, product, industrial,
interiors, engineering, automotive, graphics,
illustration, digital, interactive, branding,
packaging, textiles, applied arts and craft.
Designers, studios, manufacturers, theorists,
academics, as well as nations bring their latest
designs and concepts to the streets of London
for nine days, challenging the status quo and
proposing fresh approaches to the world
around us. After all, design is everywhere and
is core to our everyday lives.
From humble beginnings in 2003, the London
Design Festival has evolved to include not just
the city’s own flourishing design community
but a national and increasingly international
mix. Audiences have grown significantly, with
more than 350,000 of you exploring the rich
and varied design offerings.
With that said, we invite you to lose yourself in
the great celebration that is the London Design
Festival. But before we do that, here are some
handy tips for where to start.

LANDMARK PROJECTS
In 2007 we introduced the first series of our Landmark
Projects, commissioning the world’s best designers and
architects, as well as pioneering new talents, to create
extraordinary installations that are displayed in some of
London’s most prominent and best-loved spaces,
including the V&A and Trafalgar Square.
These installations have now become the public face
of the London Design Festival, representing spectacular
punctuation points around the city. They serve to showcase
the ambition, creativity and experimentation (both with new
materials and processes) that make London the design
capital of the world.
A PLACE

PATTERNITY,
JASPER MORRISON,
RAW-EDGES
AND STUDIOILSE
As Ben Evans, Festival Director explains: “What really
interests us is making each year different. If one of the skills
of design is to look at the world in new ways, that’s
something we want to reflect. And that’s very much the
theme behind our Landmark Projects”.
We work all year to broker the partnerships between
designers, manufacturers and venues. Crucially, these
Landmark Projects are made possible with the generous
patronage of our sponsors who have supported our
ongoing quest for ambition and excellence over the years.
The following pages feature information about our projects
and events for 2014.
More information:

What does ‘home’ mean to
you? What are the subtle
differences that differentiate a
house from a home? How can
we manipulate design and
environmental elements to
make us feel more at home?
All these questions and more
are addressed by four highly
acclaimed designers – Jasper
Morrison, Patternity, Raw
Edges and Studioilse – for the
project A Place Called Home.
The designers have been asked
to provide their own personal
vision of a room to intrigue and
amuse visitors to Trafalgar
Square. The four ‘homes’
appear to be similar in
construction from the outside,
but have their own identity,
hinting at the unique, creative
interiors within. The project
is supported by Airbnb, an
organisation that believes that
by blurring the boundaries
between the idea of public
shareability and our sense of
private space we can cultivate
a feeling of belonging—for
anyone, anywhere.
Here, the designers explain how
they have applied their unique
and idiosyncratic interpretation
of the concept of home to their
structures, for visitors and the
general public to explore and
interact with.

A PLACE CALLED HOME
PATTERNITY
RAW-EDGES
“For this project, we looked at
‘home’ in a much wider sense
– the collective home that we
all share: earth. We’re lucky
enough to live in a world
where ‘home’ can be virtually
anywhere we want it to be.
Taking patterns from all four
corners of the world, the
installation is interactive and
ever-evolving, creating a
kaleidoscope of home that
creates new forms: from the
mundane to the magnificent,
the macro to the micro. We’re
excited to see how people will
interact with it and what
unique visual pattern they
create of home.”
“We managed to come up
with a house that has all
the elements we love about
design; strong principle,
movement, foldability,
playfulness and extreme lack
of reasonability! We have
imagined a home with rooms
that can shrink and expand
by sliding walls that change
their position according to
a person’s actions. It is a
reactive interior, where the
design elements of the house
would be collapsible, foldable,
shrinkable and movable.”
JASPER MORRISON
“I’ve called my home House
of a Pigeon Fancier;
because who else would
choose to live in the middle
of Trafalgar Square? It’s all
about atmosphere; the
difficult bit is always to find
a balance between the
components of a space that
make it feel natural and the
right kind of atmospheric.
The Pigeon Fancier’s hobby
is in evidence of course,
but even that is controlled
by my sense of what makes
a good living space.”

LONDONDESIGNFESTIVAL.COM
STUDIOILSE
“We wanted to create as
immersive an experience as
possible, using a range of
different media. Our films
focus on the everyday actions
that we carry out, with a
soundtrack of the background
noises of our daily home life
– everything from the ping
of a microwave to the clink
of a key in a lock. And we’ve
worked with a fragrance
company to create the
essence of what home smells
like. These things are all very
leveling: it doesn’t matter if
you live in a place or a squat,
we all perform the same daily
rituals behind closed doors.”
“As a design-led company with
a creative community of hosts
and travellers, we believe in
the power of design to create
meaningful and memorable
experiences. The chance to
partner with the London Design
Festival to celebrate these
ideals, in one of the world’s
most creative capitals, is an
amazing opportunity for us.”

GLOBAL
DESIGN
FORUM
Opposite
Jaime Hayon and Ross Lovegrove
speaking at Global Design Forum 2013
The Global Design Forum
returns for a third year as
the major thought-leadership
event curated and organised
by the London Design Festival.
The Forum, a curated series
of discussions and events,
debates the role of design in
a sustainable and prosperous
future and explores its impact
in economics, politics and
education.
15–19 September 2014

17
For 2014, the Forum embraces
the citywide nature of the
London Design Festival, taking
place throughout the week in
partnership with a number of
prominent venues across the city
including the V&A, Southbank
Centre, RCA and Central Saint
Martins. In a change to previous
years, delegates can book any
number of sessions from a
selection of more than ten
events, priced from £20.
The new format allows
delegates to pick and choose
which sessions they would like
to attend and book onto them
individually, making the event
more accessible and giving a
greater number of delegates
the opportunity to attend across
the week-long programme.
The programme includes the
popular session Five Ideas to
Shake the World taking place
at the V&A, in which a shortlist
of entrepreneurs pitch their
innovations to an expert guest
panel. In the Masterclass
Sessions at the Southbank
Centre, leaders in culture and
industry including the Chair of
Arts Council England, Sir Peter
Bazalgette, will discuss the
challenges and opportunities
presented across multiple areas
of the creative industries.
Other sessions in the week will
explore the burgeoning maker
revolution, the evolution of the
collector market, the role of
designers in the brave new
world of open innovation, as
well as an afternoon of ideas to
kickstart a sustainable economy.

THE
LONDON
DESIGN
MEDAL
One of the most coveted
awards in British design,
The London Design Medal
winners will be announced
at a special Awards dinner
on 16 September.
Every year, an illustrious
selection committee comprising
established designers, industry
commentators and previous
winners, sit down and debate
possible recipients of The
London Design Medal across
four categories. Among this
year’s panel of 15 distinguished
judges are Alexander Payne
(Worldwide Director, Design at
Phillips), Martin Roth (Director
of V&A), Paul Thompson (Rector,
Royal College of Art) and
Sheridan Coakley (Founder,
SCP). The eventual winners are
chosen from a wide range of
design disciplines and awarded
for their exceptional contribution
to their field.
“While there are no shortage of
design awards, we wanted to
do it differently: not just a big
dinner that everyone has to buy
tables for,” says Festival Director
Ben Evans. “So we took the
Nobel Prize route – there’s no
shortlist, just a winner. So that
means there’s no losers either.”
The Medal itself is designed
by esteemed jewellery designer
Hannah Martin and represents
the once ubiquitous London
bird, the Cockney Sparrow,
in flight.
An eminent panel of judges
come to their decision entirely
independently, with Festival
Chairman Sir John Sorrell only
getting the casting vote in the
event of a tie.
“In 2011 there was a big debate
as Thomas Heatherwick was
arguing strongly for Vidal
Sassoon,” recalls Evans.
“Ron Arad ended up winning
that year, but we decided there
and then to invent a Lifetime
20
Achievement award. That
particular year it was a stunning
evening at St Paul’s, and Vidal
Sassoon flew over especially
from California despite being in
ill health. He spoke in the most
eloquent way about the fact that
he had countless hairdressing
awards but had never been
given recognition by the design
community before, and talked
about how he’d always wanted
to be an architect when he was
growing up. The room was full
of these legends from the
design world and many of
them were moved to tears.”
“Since then, we have integrated
extra award categories to
recognise individuals at different
stages of their careers. The
winners will be announced in
our Awards dinner, this year at
the top of the new Leadenhall
Building with spectacular views
across London.”

The Pimlico Road Design District.
Welcome to the London Design
Festival at the V&A, a unique
collaboration between the
world’s leading museum of
art and design and London’s
foremost contemporary
design festival.
The V&A’s close relationship
with the creative industries is
a distinctive and important part
of the Museum’s purpose and
character. From the 1850s
onwards, the V&A has inspired
and supported young designers
and celebrated the ability of
good design to change our
lives for the better. The London
Design Festival at the V&A is
THEPIMLICOROAD.COM
London’s premier destination
for interior design, art, antiques
& furniture.
Over the last six years, the
London Design Festival at the
V&A has gone from strength to
strength. This year’s programme
will once again fill the museum
with an extraordinary range of
design installations large and
small, intricate and majestic.
For sheer size, scale and
beauty, there is Edward Barber
and Jay Osgerby’s astonishing
installation for the Raphael
Gallery, ‘Double Space for BMW
— Precision & Poetry in Motion’,
an ambitious installation that
promises to completely change
the way we experience the
space and the Raphael
cartoons on display. At the other
end of the spectrum, ‘Military
Secret’ by James Rigler, former
V&A Artist in Residence, will be
displayed in the Cast Courts
inside the cast of Trajan’s
Column, a tiny, secret space
that has never been open to
visitors before.
It is always thrilling to see the
Museum transformed by the
broad and imaginative range
of displays and installations
that appear during the London
Design Festival. These sit
alongside an equally diverse
exhibition programme celebrating
design disciplines from product
design to graphics, fashion and
performance design. Major
exhibitions in 2014–15 include
Disobedient Objects, Wedding
Dresses: 1775 to 2014 and
Constable: The Making of
a Master.
I would like to thank all those
whose energy and enthusiasm
has made this year’s Festival
possible. Some of our visitors will
discover the Festival for the first
time, because they are fans of
the V&A, whilst others will come
to the V&A as fans of the Design
Festival. We look forward to
welcoming you all, and to sharing
the 2014 Festival with you.

THE WISH LIST
WHAT I HAVE
ALWAYS
WANTED IS...
In a collaborative fusion of
design experience, young talent
and craftsmanship, Sir Terence
Conran and Benchmark
Furniture have teamed up with
the American Hardwood Export
Council (AHEC) to invite ten
illustrious names in design and
architecture to each nominate
an emerging talent to collaborate
on a very open brief: “What have
you always wanted in your
home, but never been able
to find?”.
While open to interpretation,
the one restriction is that each
project must be produced in
a single material – American
hardwood. All of the items were
crafted during one intense
‘making week’ at Benchmark’s
Berkshire workshops in July.
“I can’t think of any other
material that could be used to
create such an eclectic mix of
products and render each one
beautiful and unique,” says
David Venables, European
Director of AHEC.
Each design is, as expected,
unique and esoteric. Sebastian
Cox has designed a “cocoonlike” desk with cabinet space for
Sir Terence Conran, co-founder
of Benchmark, while Norie
Matsumoto has been charged
30
by Norman Foster to create
the perfect wooden pencil
sharpener. Win Assakul has
created an extendable wooden
bowl for fruit or cheese inspired
by traditional African designs
for Amanda Levete; and Studio
Areti have designed three items
for John Pawson’s farm in
Gloucestershire: a slanted door,
a triangle shelf and hook.
Meanwhile, Felix de Pass has
designed a kitchen stool for
Alison Brooks (“the most
popular seat in the house”),
Gareth Neal has made two
CNC cut vessels for Zaha
Hadid and Nathalie de Leval
has built a shed for Sir Paul
Smith. “The shed is 3m x 3m,
the same size as my first ever
shop in Nottingham,” says
Smith. “Completely
coincidentally, Matisse’s
famous cut-out, The Snail,
is exactly the same size.”
Barnby & Day have fashioned
a “beautiful large round
laminated dining table” for Alex
de Rijke; Xenia Moseley has
made a ladder “from which
to wonder and wallow” for
Richard and Ab Rogers; and
Lola Lely has designed a
chaise longue for Allen Jones,
inspired by legendary art
collector Peggy Guggenhiem
“and her mischievous nature”…

energy as afterglow.
The continual revolution of the
machine creates a perpetual
ebb and flow of light patterns
travelling across the structure.
This rich layering effect plays
with the memory of the
phosphorescent material
used on the dials of timepieces
by supporters Officine Panerai.
“On a very basic level, we
experience time through
changing light conditions between
day and night,” the designers
explain. “The appearance of
phosphor-escent material is
determined by both light and time.
Charging from a source of light, its
afterglow appears dazzling at first,
but diminishes to a lambent glow
over time. We are excited to
explore this change in state in
our installation.”

The title of the installation,

standard unit of luminous

emits light with a luminous

both traditional and cutting

augments the enjoyment of
viewing the tapestries that it
shares the space with,” they
say. “We have always found
the Tapestries Gallery to be a
very peaceful space within the
V&A. You could attribute this
to its very low light conditions
needed to conserve its
medieval exhibits. It therefore
felt appropriate to create an
installation that worked out
of darkness to heighten this
special atmosphere.”

JEREMY MAXWELL WINTREBERT
HUMAN
NATURE
The entrance to the V&A’s Glass
Galleries will be transformed
for the Festival by a site specific
work created by the Parisbased designer Jeremy Maxwell
Wintrebert.
During a visit to Glashütte
Lamberts in Waldsassen,
Germany – one of the oldest
mouth-blown glass factories
in the world – Wintrebert was
struck by the piles of freshly
made glass cylinders, waiting
to be flattened out to create
panes of glass.
“I was fascinated by how
beautiful and simple they were,”
he explains. “My curiosity and
fascination peaked. I instinctively
wanted to create something out
of these. I saw them as a part
of something bigger, something
beyond being a unit in a
production line.”
36
Taking inspiration from the Art
Nouveau movement’s attempts
to “bring the beauty of nature
back into our lives” and working
in close collaboration with leading
glass specialist Vessel Gallery
and supporters Perrier-Jouët,
Wintrebert’s installation plays
with the balance of light and
form, as well as the paradoxical
strength and fragility of glass.
“Every cylinder is hand-blown
and therefore unique,” he says.
“By stopping the process before
it becomes a window and
displaying it in our lives, I am
saying that something totally
handmade and extremely simple
can enhance beauty in our lives
and therefore enhance our
experiences in a positive way.
This seems so important.”

ZAHA
HADID
CREST
Crest, designed by Zaha Hadid
Architects and commissioned
by Meliã Hotels International,
provides an engaging feature
across the pool in the centre
of the V&A’s John Madejski
Garden. Crest is designed as
a demountable sculpture to be
installed as a permanent feature
within the ME Hotel in Dubai,
also designed by Zaha Hadid,
which opens in 2016. The form
explores the relationships
between fluid and Cartesian,
solid and void, surface and
structure inherent within the
hotel’s design.
Engineered with Buro Happold
and manufactured by
Litestructures, the shell-like
structure was pre-stressed in
order to be realised as thin as
possible, assembled as a flat
plate of aluminium which is then
bent into shape in situ.
“We envisioned creating a piece
that would emerge from the
pool which is the centrepiece
of the space, both visually and
39
“WE ENVISIONED CREATING A PIECE THAT WOULD EMERGE
FROM THE POOL WHICH IS THE CENTREPIECE OF THE SPACE,
BOTH VISUALLY AND IN TERMS OF SOCIAL INTERACTION”
in terms of social interaction,”
explains Hadid. “Crest is
intended to offer an exciting new
perspective with which visitors
experience the courtyard. It will
multiply the movements of the
water and the historic backdrop
within which it is sited. It will
capture the attention of visitors
as they enter the space and draw
them towards exploring the new
quality of space created within.”
Hadid’s intention for Crest is that
it should complete the pool as
40
though it was always intended
to be a part of the space.
The title comes from the crest
rising above the waves in the
pool, creating a new peak
and visual focal point within
the courtyard which is
simultaneously in dialogue
with the historic architectural
environment as well as actively
reflecting the movements
within it, via the metallic
surface which reflects the sky
on one side and the rippling
water on the underside.

CAROUSEL WALL
DAVID DAVID
A collaboration between
London-based print and design
studio David David and British
manufacturer Johnson Tiles,
Carousel Wall sees the inside
walls of the V&A’s Tunnel
entrance covered in bold
geometric shapes and bright
shades for the London
Design Festival.
“We are always keen to support
rising creative talent in Britain,
so we were excited by the
opportunity to work with the
designers behind David David,”
says Darren Clanford, Creative
Director at Johnson Tiles.“Their
signature use of bold colours
and patterns is perfectly suited
to our vibrant new Prismatics
range and we have relished the
challenge of recreating their
work in such an inspiring place
as the V&A.”
Visitors will be greeted by a
dazzling display of pattern and
colour as they walk through a
50m2 mural installation, made
up of tiled ceramic panels
displayed vertically on two walls
of the tunnel. Based on an
adaptation of Carousel (2011),
the Jameel Prize-nominated
artwork by David David
co-founder David Saunders,
the installation is inspired by
Islamic geometrics interpreted
through modern British
production techniques.
“Our previous work has included
designing for everything from
handbags, umbrellas and
clothing to furniture, art prints
and homeware,” says David
David co-founder Michael
Sawdayee; “but producing work
on such a large scale using
ceramic tiles has been very
much a new challenge. We are
proud that it will be viewed by
so many people passing through
the V&A during the Festival.”

AMA 2014
MICHAEL ANASTASSIADES
For the duration of London
Design Festival at the Victoria
and Albert Museum, Michael
Anastassiades in collaboration
with Flos will present the
lighting installation Ama, made
by mouth blown opaline
spheres and brass. The piece
is an appreciation of the pearl
diving mermaids of Japan.
The simple, even primitive
beauty of these women who
harvested seaweed, turban
shells and abalone from
beneath the coastal waters can
be tracked 2000 years back
in history, as recorded in the
oldest Japanese anthology
of poetry. Only equipped with
visual acuity, lung capacity and
a hunter’s instinct, Ama women
would dive some 30 feet down
in cold water, confronting minus
zero conditions at times and
only wearing a loincloth, in
search of the goods lying on
the ocean bed. The tides of
change went almost unnoticed
in the Ama community, which
slowly lost the daily interaction
with the marine web of life. Ama
2014 is a tribute to the savage
beauty of the last Ama women,
still diving at the age of 90, as
well as to the ones who were
taken away by the 20th century
events within the Japanese
archipelago.

V&A DESIGN FUND
The Victoria and Albert
Museum’s contemporary
collection is constantly evolving.
It reflects and represents
transformations in design and
art as much as in society. The
Design Fund enables the V&A
to continue to acquire objects at
the vanguard of contemporary
design and each year the new
acquisitions are revealed during
London Design Festival for the
benefit of the public.
This year’s selection of
contemporary acquisitions
encompasses works by both
emerging and established
international designers and
architects, such as young
designers from the Ecole
44
Cantonale d’art de Lausanne
(ECAL), and the renowned
Dutch industrial designer Hella
Jongerius. The display will
showcase the results of
pioneering manufacturing
techniques formulated by
Swedish design studio FRONT
who have developed a unique
method to materialise free hand
drawings. Other projects will
interrogate the way in which
we interact with our domestic
environment through innovative
product design, introduce
radically inventive processes
of sustainable modular
construction and critically
reflect on social and cultural
transformations in our urban
environment.

‘BREATHLESS BEAUTY – BROKEN BEAUTY’
13 Sept – 27 Oct
British Galleries Landing, (Level 4)
An immersive Sculptural 4k Video Art Installation by artist
film maker VanessaJane Hall. Over 12 months the artist
travelled England to create video canvasses that capture
the raw beauty of the country house, whether sparkling
or faded. The sculpture’s form was inspired by buildings
researched and visited during the project.
Observers step inside the temple-like sculpture and
find themselves cocooned in an immersive audio-visual
environment. From sparkling halls to faded corridors, this
three dimensional work takes the observer on an atmospheric
journey that awakens the soul to the beauty and drama of
these intriguing buildings.
Sponsored by Gallery SIENNA & Air Moving Image.
Supported by Castle Howard, Chatsworth, Holkham

Marking 40 years since the V&A’s ‘Destruction of the
Country House’ exhibition, the sculpture is presented
alongside:-
‘COUNTRY HOUSE — PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE’
A display by architectural historian, author and conservationist
Marcus Binney, who with John Harris, organised the 1974
exhibition for Roy Strong, then Director of the V&A. This new
display, which is designed to echo the original exhibition’s
‘Hall of Destruction’ presents a cascade of the finest lost
country houses as well as highlighting the story of many
others rescued from demolition and decay and adapted to
sympathetic new uses. The display also looks back to the
1974 exhibition, its impact including massive press coverage
which led to the founding of SAVE Britain’s Heritage, and
a deeper national appreciation of the value these historic
structures represent.

THE 7 LAMPS OF MAKING, DEAN BROWN (FABRICA)
THE DISTANT HEART, YULIA SILINA
A computational necklace, developed as a part of the
research into rectifying the emotional void created when
loved ones move away from each other. By tapping into

a paired device, and interprets it into affective expressions,
embedded into the necklace. Supported by Media and
Arts Technology Center at Queen Mary University.
“The 7 Lamps of Making” re-visits John Ruskin’s essay
“The 7 Lamps of Architecture” (1849) as a guide for 21st
century making. Translating craft literature into tangible
examples of the 7 guides in practice – as open source

to work on the features at the
show. There are some great
plans for the hubs this year, with
a Maker’s Carousel by Mette
providing inspiration and
hands-on opportunities in the
Interiors zone. There is the
dramatic Design by Data
installation by NBBj architects in
Workplace; a Turkish ceramics
collaboration with new stars
vPPR for Kitchen & Bathrooms
and the Materials Landscape
from Thomas Matthews within
Eco, Design & Build. The Tunnel
feature by Studio Design UK
and Central Bar sponsored by
OIKOS will both be very striking
too. This will all be topped off by
an incredible concept design for
the talks auditorium by longtime supporters and exhibitors
at 100% Design, El Ultimo Grito.
What would you say is your
show’s unique selling point?
100% Design is a focused
industry event; it enables the
design community to devote
themselves to the specialist
areas of interest the show
provides as each section has
an array of world-class
exhibitors. As the show takes
place in a purpose-built space,
it allows exhibitors to present
a pure brand expression and a
controlled space from which to
demonstrate and showcase
products and ideas. The
dedicated international section
is also unique, bringing
together talent from around the
globe to London. The show is
focused on quality throughout,
not least in the specially
curated talks programme
which includes a stellar line up
of design leaders and thinkers.
The general public can visit
the show on Saturday 20

Decorex has a new venue
this year – tell us about it.
Decorex is moving to Syon Park
this year and this has given us
much more space, and we plan
to utilise this to the maximum
with plenty of new feature areas,
including a larger than ever
Decorex Entrance, a collection
of four live installations with
Decorex...In The Making,
an array of luxury street food
vendors within our Decorex
Food Market, a stunning
selection of the best in future
collectibles curated by the
esteemed Corinne Julius, and,
of course, new and exciting
products from the Decorex
exhibitors. Of course with a few
surprises along the way…
What makes Decorex
unique?
Decorex is one of the key places
to see the latest in high-end
interior design from the most
exciting British and international
exhibitors. Our exhibitors are
responsible for creating some
of the finest interiors across
the globe, and in our new venue
this year, we have the space
to provide even more of what
makes Decorex special – more
collaboration, more feature
areas, and the best collection
of exhibitors we have ever
had, all brought together in
a bespoke and luxurious
environment.
Simone du Bois, Brand Director
of Decorex International
And how does the show fit
within the mix of the London
Design Festival?
The London Design Festival has
a phenomenal variety of design
events, each with their own
distinct identity and place within
the community. Decorex is no
exception to this, and with our
new home at Syon Park we
will be bringing the design
community to West London to
see our show like never before.
What makes London’s
design scene special in your
opinion?
Decorex has always been a
London-based show, and is the
very pulse of the London design
community. As a city brimming
with the most talented and
innovative design talent, the
London design community has
a passion for interiors like no
other, and is a true inspiration
to the global design industry.

DESIGNJUNCTION
The Sorting Office
18 –21 September
Located in an empty sorting
office and boasting a crosssection of content from product
launches and installations to
pop-up shops, bespoke
eateries and live flash factories,
show director Deborah Spencer
points out some highlights in
designjunction’s fourth year.
What’s new for the show this
year?
This year we’re bigger than ever
with more than 180 exhibiting
brands. There is an entire floor
dedicated to retail stores, and
for the first time, we’re taking
over the basement of the
building with a dedicated space
for lightjunction where there’s an
impressive interactive lighting
installation by Blackbody.
We have a series of interactive
Flash Factories, where the
processes of industrial
production will be brought to
life. Onsite you will see bespoke
ceramic tiles cut and handpainted from Bert&May,
crystal-cutting from Waterford
Crystal and live upholstery
making from Coakley & Cox.
Online magazine Dezeen is
collaborating with MINI to
explore a diversity of ideas
around the Future of Mobility.
We are also partnering again
with Transport for London to
create a fully serviced restaurant
celebrating the year of the bus.
And don’t forget our seminar
programme, we have a really
exciting line-up of speakers this
year including Alberto Alessi and
Sir Kenneth Grange.
What components of the
show are you personally
most excited about?
Many things but particularly the
expansion of lightjunction – it’s

the only show dedicated to
cutting-edge decorative lighting
in London during this period; the
retail floor will feature more than
30 design-led pop-up stores
selling everything from fashion
accessories to ceramics, books,
watches and more.
A host of new brands will join
the show this year, including
Marset, Lightyears, Andreu
World and Johansen Design
that are all presenting their latest
collections.
On the ground floor, Alessi will
be designing and running a
pop-up café, and you can taste
some of the finest Chilean wines
upstairs.
Close to my heart is a new
charity project that we’re
launching in partnership with
Anglepoise. Ten leading British
designers have customised the
iconic Type 75 mini desk lamp
designed by Sir Kenneth
Grange. The resulting designs
will be auctioned off on our
opening night to raise funds
for Teddy’s Wish.

Well-established as an interior
design hub and home to over
500 international brands, the
Design Centre in Chelsea
Harbour comes alive for
Focus/14 with plentiful new
product launches, workshops
and talks. Managing Director,
Claire German, fills us in.
How has Focus/14 evolved
this year?
There are more activities than
ever before with new ways for
visitors to enjoy, engage and
explore our onsite portfolio. A
dynamic programme brings
together a strong mix of creative
minds for an exchange of ideas
and collection launches,
while extra features have been

Terence Conran share their
expert knowledge and creative
know-how. Access All Areas has
seen tremendous growth too,
with over 50 individual events
bringing new insights at bespoke
workshops, talks, forums and
‘meet the designer’ sessions.
Add to this a restaurant, specially
commissioned installations and
pop-ups, a Design Hub, book
signings and much more!
How do you ensure a
memorable experience?
We always want to challenge
expectation. Nothing should be
routine and year-on-year we
strive to give visitors a
memorable experience. Focus
is always a buzzy event and this
year promises to be the perfect
mix of style, imagination and
directional design.
Claire German, Managing Director
of Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour
What would you say is your
show’s unique selling point?
Focus/14 is a platform, both
creatively and commercially,
for an exceptionally dynamic
industry. The event showcases
work of breadth and scope
imagined by some of the most
creative minds, while advocates
of great design bring it alive at
debates and talks.
What makes London’s
design scene special in
your opinion?
London has become the
powerhouse of international
design. A tremendous source of
daily inspiration, it is conducive
to free thinking and new ideas.
An authoritative compass for
anyone who wants to be
creative or think differently, it
leads the way in terms of style
and innovation.

Old Truman Brewery
18 – 21 September
With its foothold in East
London, Tent London and sister
show Super Brands London
enters its eighth year with a
strong showcase of homegrown
and overseas talent and brands.
Show director Jimmy
MacDonald tells us more.
What’s special about your
location in East London?
East London is the creative
beating heart of London: fact.
Tent London reflects this once a
year during the London Design
Festival by assembling over 280
international designers and
companies from 27 countries.
What are some of the
new features for the
show this year?
We have introduced a new
café-bar to the centre of Super
Brands London which has been
designed by Afroditi Krassa –
the theme is ‘backstage’ and
features a catwalk and a brand
new tile collection by the interior
designer. Tokyo Designers Week
joins our long list of Country
Pavilions at Tent London this
year; this strangely is the first
time that a significant Japanese
show has been present during
the Festival, despite the
country’s reputation for amazing
attention to detail in design.

Heineken is launching its Cities

view from the new outside

Tetra Shed to display their large

our exhibitors’ products after
the show.
What components of the

I’m really looking forward to the

a strong craft element this year
with a Czech glass show,
Crafts Council of Ireland and
Handmade Japan.

@tent_london
How do you evolve the
show each year?
We change about 50% of the
show’s content each year and
the designers and companies
we have sourced from over 27
countries during the year are
really pushing at the edges of
the envelope. We are not talking
about new colour ways in
existing products – we are
talking about new methods of
manufacture and completely
new objects that we didn’t think
we needed. Tent is a real design
show and our exhibitors are top
of their game, whether they are
brand new or mega-established.

A KITCHEN WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
DESIGN DISTRICTS
The sheer number of venues for London Design Festival can
appear almost daunting at first: simply deciding on where to begin
and how much you can fit into a single day is a challenge in itself.
But if you treat London as a series of small districts – each with
its distinct areas of interest, with particular design communities
clustering together – it starts to become more manageable.
This year there are six official Design Districts – with Islington
and Queen’s Park added to the line-up. Each district has evolved
over the 12 years of the Festival’s history and although they are
organised locally and independently, they have become an
important part of its growth.
Each district brings its own distinct personality to proceedings,
and this year comprise:
Discover The Fourth Wall – a unique concept
kitchen combining gastronomy, creativity
and interior design.

The London Design Festival collaborates with Airbnb
in London’s Trafalgar Square to create this year’s
Landmark Project.
A Place Called Home brings together four highly
acclaimed designers who have been invited to create
their own interpretation of home. The four designers,
Jasper Morrison, Patternity, Raw Edges and Studioilse
present a personal vision of a room that will intrigue
and amuse visitors.
The four ‘homes’ appear to be similar in construction
from the outside, though each has its own individual
exterior identity, hinting at the creative interiors.
For more details see pages 13 –15.

While designing a new cultural centre in Lisbon, the
AL_A team came upon a former fishing tackle shop
transformed into a tiny, vibrant restaurant serving only
tinned seafood. What started as lunch quickly became
an idea, and subsequently a new project: to bring
the culture and sensibility of an architect’s studio to
a restaurant with the best tinned fish in the world.
~~
The idea is very compelling: no kitchen, zero waste,
super healthy, and great graphics with the tin as
the hero.

New lighting and temporary

Maria Jeglinska, Lola Lely, Cat Potter, James Shaw,
Sophie Thomas, Kim Thome… a selection of the
emerging designers to be featured in The Aram Gallery’s
newest opening Future Stars.
Curator Héloïse Parke has selected these makers for
their investigative approach to designing in the fields
of furniture, jewellery and product design. Each of those
selected established their studio just a few years ago,
and in the time since has developed an experimental
attitude to thinking and (hand)making. These designers
show fresh new work, exemplary in the breadth of their
multidisciplinary practice.
Aram Store presents some of the best designs launched
in 2014.
Another Country is excited to invite you to their new
showroom, transformed for its inaugural London
Design Festival into a temporary reading lounge.
On show will be a brand new collection of lighting
and the latest addition to their Series One collection
– a well-proportioned armchair.

Bocci collaborates with the antique dealer Mallett on
an exhibition of bespoke installations at the grand Ely
House, built in 1772. This showcase acts as a collage,
provoking tension between old and new works, while
suggesting a phenomenological whole.

Of special note is a massive 57 chandelier with
a unique one-way mirror coating, which shifts from
passively reflecting the textures of the antiques when
unlit, to revealing an immense depth with an imposing
presence when lit.

and glass to create a range of tabletop products that
are inspired by the forms and materials of everyday
objects in India.

of intelligently designed furniture and accessories for

we experience with small spaces, while still focusing
on style, quality and price. Come and experience

Today’s designers are responding to pressing global
issues such as urban density, poor air quality and
wasted resources by coming up with clever solutions to
help people face these new challenges.
Whether it’s a complex infrastructure system or a simple
way to hack products to make them last longer and
reduce mindless consumption, this exhibition picks out
some of our favourite ideas from around the world.

~~Mon–Sun 24 hours
The Royal Institute of British Architects announces
the 15 collaborations for this year’s RIBA Regent Street
Windows Project.
Now in its fifth year, the RIBA Regent Street Windows
Project has matched cutting edge RIBA architects with
some of London’s most prestigious retailers to create
stunning architectural installations in shop windows
along and around London’s Regent Street, W1. This
year 15 architecture practices have worked with 15
retailers to create a sequence of stunning architectural
installations on Regent Street, Heddon Street and
Brewer Street.
These unique and eye-catching displays reveal
the innovation and creativity of architects whilst
demonstrating the retailers’ commitment to quality
design. The installations both enhance the retail
experience for the customer and increasing footfall
for the retailer.
This year the installations will be up for three weeks from
1– 21 September 2014. Regent Street has become a
platform for design, where architects, designers and
fashion designers showcase and explain their work
in a celebration of all things ‘designer’ over the threeweek period.
Participating retailers and architects in 2014 include:

Through September, the project Ancestors is an
investigation by Reinier Bosch and Carolina Wilcke on
the origin of objects and their archetypes. Based in the
Netherlands, Bosch and Wilke present a new collection
of lights and ceramics in the sketch Parlour, playfully
using high-performance material to explore the enduring
remnants of a colonial past.
With a highly diverse and explorative practice based
in London, Max Lamb will engage in an open dialogue
with a partner of his choice, to an audience in sketch’s
Parlour. Unscripted, and without agenda, the discussion
will follow no path, other than an exploration of critical
thinking and creative philosophy. Free and open to the
public, but first in, best dressed.

Fashion is often consumed without any thought as to
how/where/what happens in the design process. Many
lifestyle brands have tapped into glasses and shoes
but without the expertise, craftsmanship and detail that
Cutler & Gross and Tracey Neuls bring to the table.
They are unique in the market and for the London
Design Festival, a ‘shop in shop’ installation will display
a conversation of brand parallels, process and design
inspirations.

which the public rarely sees.

design and local trade. Designers are given one day
to create a space using all the resources available on
Deptford High Street and Markets.

“THE LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT PLATFORM FOR CROSS
DISCIPLINE DESIGNERS AT EVERY STAGE OF THEIR CAREERS – FROM BURGEONING
TALENT THROUGH TO THOSE WITH A NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL PROFILE – TO
PRESENT WORK ON A GLOBAL STAGE. THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL WILL SEE MORE THAN 300
EVENTS WITH A BROAD RANGE OF PARTNER ORGANISATIONS AND ALSO AN EXCITING
RETURN TO TRAFALGAR SQUARE, WITH A MAJOR INSTALLATION IN COLLABORATION
