LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL 2013:
DESIGN IS EVERYWHERE
Over the 11 years of the London Design
Festival, a vast diversity of local and
international design has been showcased
and celebrated. This year is no exception,
with more than 300 events open to all
across the capital.
The Festival is a punctuation moment in
the year and acts as a reminder that design
is all around us, permeating every part of
our lives.
From the commercial to the conceptual,
from the subtle to the spectacular, from
the weird to the wonderful, we invite you to
enjoy the great breadth of design that the
London Design Festival has to offer in 2013.

INTRODUCTION

Ben Evans
Design is everywhere in London, in
Great Britain and across the world.
It is so much part of everyday life that
people take it for granted – except
when it doesn’t work and they curse
whoever got it wrong.
In a city like London, it is hard to be
noticed. That is the whole point of the
Festival, a concentrated time when
design is very visible.
This year, during the 11th London
Design Festival, I hope people will take
a moment to think about how vital
design is to our lives and how great
design can improve quality of life.
The huge volume of design activity
taking place across the capital reveals
the stunning creativity of some of the
most stimulating minds in the world.
I am particularly interested in how
those minds can help make the world a
better place. This is what the Festival’s
conference, the Global Design Forum,
is all about, with delegates from around
the world seeking to inspire the future
and identify the way forward for design
and its impact on the world.
I hope you have a great Festival.
With more than 200 different partners
this year and 300 projects and events,
there is something for everyone. Start at
our hub venue, the V&A, where there is
a programme of bespoke commissions
and talks, climb our landmark project
the Endless Stair outside Tate Modern
and visit the key design destinations,
each home to hundreds of designers.
It is often said that London is a
collection of villages, and in the wider
Festival the design districts are places
where you can see clusters of design
projects all within walking distance of
each other. The districts can be found
across the city.
This guide and our website can help
you find what you want to see and what
you don’t yet know you want to see.
I hope you find it and above all, enjoy.

London – The Design Capital of the World?
9
LONDON – THE DESIGN CAPITAL OF THE WORLD?
Immediately after the London Design
Festival in September 2012, esteemed
journalist Julie Lasky published an
article in the New York Times about
London’s design prowess in the context
of the world’s other great creative cities.
The article opened with this statement:
“Apologies to Milan and Tokyo. Regrets
to Stockholm and Paris. Forgive me,
Eindhoven, Berlin, Barcelona and, most
particularly, New York. But London is
the design capital of the world.” Such
a statement, while flattering, prompted
us to ask ourselves why the capital is
perceived in such a way.
London is considered by many to be
Europe’s central meeting point, and
indeed visitors from around the globe
flock to the English-speaking megacity
for business, leisure and a sizeable
dose of culture. Steeped in history on
the one hand, London never sits still
on the other, and progress marches
on unabashed.
London’s huge mass is home to a
multicultural mix of young hopefuls
and families, all attracted to the city
for the financial prospects and the
tolerance of new values. International
influences have infused the very
fabric of the city, stimulating the
masses across every pursuit, from
cuisine, theatre, music and film to art,
architecture and, of course, design.
There’s an open-minded attitude
towards new ideas and a willingness
to explore and challenge the status
quo – often with a healthy dose of
irony and humility.
London is an international design
hub – it’s world-class education
system attracting talents from around
the world, many of whom choose
to stay and find work here or set up
their own businesses. Such micro
and SME businesses are buoyed by
a mature marketplace and access to
collaborative partners, as well as a
sophisticated demographic and
client base.
OUNCE FOR OUNCE,
BLOKE FOR BLOKE,
BRITAIN PRODUCES
BETTER DESIGNERS
AND DESIGN
IMPRESARIOS THAN
ANYWHERE ELSE
Julie Lasky, The New York Times
Indeed, design is a burgeoning sector
and one that embraces multiple
disciplines, including industrial, product,
furniture, interiors, automotive, digital,
interactive, graphics, illustration,
branding, packaging, textiles, applied
arts, and craft. Beyond that, design
straddles a number of different
sub-disciplines that encompass
science, engineering and technology.
Furthermore, design is crucial to
securing competitive advantage on
Spun by Thomas Heatherwick, London Design Festival 2010
the global stage and more and more
businesses are waking up to “designing
what they do”.
Despite all of the aforementioned
attributes, complacency is the great
danger to the health of London’s
design scene. The sector is incredibly
competitive and is becoming more
so with the strengthening of the
design offerings in other countries.
Regional and central governments
are increasingly embracing design to
boost cultural collateral on the global
stage and attract significant
inward investment.
Every year, established London-based
designers are joined by a flurry of
complacency-busting design grads,
many of whom studied in top local
colleges and are fired up to bring fresh
energy to the commercial and cultural
sectors. These talents have endured
years of hardship brought on by the
high cost of living – the main drawback
of living in one of the world’s most
expensive cities. Still they want to make
a go of it here and most persevere with
an attitude that if you can survive here,
you can survive anywhere.
There’s no escaping the fact that jobs
are few and far between these days;
economic turbulence has taken its
toll on employment. The burden of a
fickle income stream coupled with high
overheads tends to weed out those
independents who are half-hearted
about the industry. The ones who are
prepared to make a go of it understand
that hard work is key, and that being
simply “good enough” is, well, not
good enough.
Credit: Visit London
There is a multidisciplinary nature to
survival here: you need to develop
a multichannel portfolio of activity
to diversify your risk. Within the
industry this gives rise to a culture
of collaboration. The most highly
developed talents merge together and
form strong conceptual unions, the
output of which manifests in many
varied permutations.
The annual celebration of these
collaborations comes in September
during the London Design Festival,
when events, exhibitions and
installations pop up across the capital.
The Festival has gained traction over
the years, attracting more and more
exhibiting partners, opinionated
media, as well as members of the
public who have become increasingly
design literate. The Festival also
garners support and endorsement
from our politicians, who increasingly
demonstrate their awareness of the
industry’s economic contribution.
Furthermore, commercial sponsors
recognise the business benefits of
reaching such an influential audience,
and continually illustrate an eagerness
to commission and be associated with
challenging design ideas.
London’s design scene is animated
by the annual spectacle that is the
London Design Festival. It marks a
great expressive moment when culture,
commerce and creativity collide in
unpredictable and spectacular ways.
In such a hotbed of energy and ideas,
the process of reinvention never sits
idle. For the gangs of individuals driving
such change, this city of 7.8 million
residents acts as a perfect playground
in which to sculpt and hone our
reputation as, yes, the design capital
of the world.

“The London Design Festival has firmly established
itself as one of London’s leading cultural events and
this year’s theme of ‘Design is everywhere’ can only
build on its international reputation for influencing
innovative and important design. We are delighted to
be able to continue our support for the festival as it
continues to reach new audiences whilst celebrating
the very best in design.”

LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL LANDMARK PROJECTS
The London Design Festival marks
an important moment in the design
calendar when creative excellence is
given prominence in the capital for
everyone to enjoy. For the past six
years, we’ve been commissioning
the world’s best designers, as well
as pioneering new talents, to create
extraordinary installations that are
displayed in some of London’s most
prominent and best-loved spaces.
We call these installations Landmark
Projects as they represent spectacular
punctuation points around the city
during the Festival period. Ambition
is a recurring characteristic across
every project; ambition to continually
challenge the definitions of design;
ambition to change the context and
push the capabilities of materials;

ambition to place contemporary
design into unusual settings; and
ambition to create pure spectacle
for you to marvel at.
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.

Endless Stair
ENDLESS STAIR
with the Thames panorama of London,
provides a context to which dRMM’s
Escher-inspired installation can make
a distinctive contribution,” says
Alex de Rijke, Co-Founder of
dRMM Architects.
Visualisation of Endless Stair at Tate Modern. Image by Cityscape
Endless Stair sees the London Design
Festival reviving its longstanding
relationship with the American
Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) in a
playful, yet technically ambitious public
project installed with the powerful
backdrop of one of the city’s best-loved
landmarks, Tate Modern.
Architects and Dean of Architecture
at the Royal College of Art, working
closely with engineers at Arup. De
Rijke has described timber as “the new
concrete”, predicting that it will be the
dominant construction material of the
21st century.
Installed outside Tate Modern, the
towering structure invites visitors to
climb and explore a series of 15
Escher-like interlocking staircases
made from a prefabricated construction
using 44 cubic metres of American
tulipwood donated by AHEC members.
As a viewpoint, Endless Stair provides
breathtaking views along the Thames.
“There is a ‘wood revolution’ going on
in the construction sector and dRMM
is one of the architects at the forefront
so it is very fitting that their dramatic
Endless Stair design will significantly
inform the debate, show hardwood in
a new light and challenge traditional
thinking within the construction
industry,” David Venables, European
Director, AHEC, says.
The complex construction is designed
by Alex de Rijke, Co-Founder of dRMM
“The programme of modern art and
architecture at Tate Modern, combined
Tulipwood is a plentiful and sustainable
American hardwood export,
composed here for the first time as
cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is
a method of exploiting the structural
properties of timber to create panels
that can form buildings quickly,
efficiently and sustainably. Traditionally,
CLT is made using softwood because it
provides a cheap and readily available
source of wood fibre. Endless Stair
pioneers the use of a hardwood
species, which is inherently lighter and
stronger than its softwood equivalents.
The CLT panels for Endless Stair were
produced by Imola Legno, a major
timber distributor in Italy.
15
“Tulipwood is amazingly strong and
stiff for its weight compared with
many other species. Tulipwood CLT
offers a really exciting addition to the
CLT family,” says Adrian Campbell,
Associate Director, Structural and
Lead Engineer from Arup. “This project
provides fertile opportunity for this
elegant sculpture to act as a test bed
for the creative use of timber.”
THERE IS A “WOOD
REVOLUTION” GOING ON
IN THE CONSTRUCTION

GLOBAL DESIGN FORUM
Sheer
Driving Pleasure
The London Design Festival’s thought
leadership event, the Global Design
Forum, debuted in 2012 and was a
sell-out success. More than 250
delegates from around the world filled
the theatre at Central Saint Martins’
impressive campus in King’s Cross
for a day packed with informative
presentations and debate. The
outcomes of the event informed the
content for our Global Design Summit
in Hong Kong in November 2012 and
discussions in Taipei and Seoul in
March 2013.
This September, the international
conversation continues at our flagship
Global Design Forum event in London,
generously supported by BMW Group,
Coutts and UK Trade & Investment.
Our mission is to set the global agenda
for design by giving the stage to
designers, entrepreneurs, policy makers
and educators to highlight the growing
issues and opportunities for design.
As the world starts to emerge from the
slowdown, what is the role of design in
the economy and people’s lives? How
does groundbreaking innovation thrive
and find its market? How can design
successfully permeate and transform
struggling business sectors? Why is it
important to have a global perspective?
What scope is there for design to
alter and define the infrastructure and
image of cities around the world?
On the evening of 16 September, and
the whole of the next day, these are
just a handful of the topics being
tackled by an impressive line-up of
international speakers.

Our leading local and international
speakers have been selected from
extensive research into start-up
entrepreneurs, established corporate
leaders, public-sector figures and
cultural pacesetters, all chosen from a
variety of backgrounds. They have
been briefed to challenge the status
quo and deliver thought-provoking
ideas to our audience.
In the early evening of Monday
16 September at the V&A, we kick
off the Forum with a head-to-head
conversation between Paul Morley
and Peter Saville, both cultural
icons in their own right and both with
provocative opinions about the way
the world in general – and design in
particular – are going.
The following day we move to the
Purcell Room in the Southbank Centre
for a full-day programme involving
automotive design frontrunner Adrian
van Hooydonk (Senior Vice President
BMW Group Design), advertising guru
Sir John Hegarty (co-founder of Bartle

LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL AT THE V&A
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.
LONDON
DESIGN
FESTIVAL
AT THE
V&A
The V&A has always been at the
forefront of the design world,
collecting and displaying the best
in contemporary design, whilst also
providing inspiration for our visitors.
Today, this is truer than ever, as the
V&A not only displays and celebrates
great design, but also, through our
relationship with the creative industries,
inspires our audience. The London
Design Festival at the V&A is a beacon
of this relationship with the design
industry, and a symbol of its success.
Over the past five years, the London
Design Festival at the V&A has gone
from strength to strength, and this
year’s programme will once again fill
the Museum with an extraordinary
range of design installations large and
small, intricate and majestic. From an
eight-storey lighting installation in the
Main Entrance to a trail of Swarovski
lenses focused on the design details
of objects across the collections, the
programme this year highlights design
“Here, There and Everywhere”.
The V&A’s exhibition programme is just
as diverse, with a range of exhibitions
celebrating design disciplines from
graphic design and illustration, to
fashion and jewellery design. Major
exhibitions include Pearls, Club to
Catwalk and Memory Palace, whilst
smaller displays such as Deception:
Ceramics and Imitation explore specific
areas of a diverse range of subjects
in detail.
I would like to offer my thanks to those
whose energy and enthusiasm made
this year’s Festival possible. In the
current economic climate it is exciting
and heartening to have so many
individuals and organisations involved,
and so much creativity on display.
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 London
Design Festival. We look forward to
welcoming you all, and to sharing the
2013 Festival with you.
Martin Roth
Director, Victoria and
Albert Museum

THE PROGRESSIVE EXTENSION OF THE FIELD OF
INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERIENCE
This striking project consists of a natural
cork floor covering the existing bridge
over the V&A’s Medieval Galleries,
in which the visitor is immersed in a
world of cork, encountering its visual
and tactile properties in a bold effort to
challenge existing connotations with the
material. The project is a collaboration
between FAT Architecture, the Londonbased practice renowned for its
conceptual approach to architecture,
and Amorim, the world’s largest
producer of cork.
Amorim, the world leader in cork production, blends
design with the unmatched insulation capabilities of
natural cork to create sustainable, stylish and high-quality
Find more in
www.wicanders.com
The floor is made up of a series of
tiles laid in a repeating trompe l’oeil
geometric pattern, which is based
on a scientific diagram of the cellular
structure of cork as a material.
“Amorim’s partnership with the London
Design Festival is a unique opportunity
to showcase CorkTECH, our innovative,
design-driven natural cork flooring.
Combining FAT’s cutting-edge creativity
with cork’s unmatched technical
capabilities will deliver an exciting,
contemporary perspective on nature’s
most sustainable flooring solution,”
says António Amorim, Chairman and
CEO of Corticeira Amorim.
The pattern also accidentally recalls
certain architectural characteristics
of the Douro region of Portugal, a
world-class wine region so associated
with cork, where geometric tile patterns
can be found in a number of vernacular
buildings as well as pieces of
signature architecture such as the
Casa da Musica in Porto.

God is in the Details
GOD IS IN THE DETAILS
When the legendary German architect
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe coined
the now famous phrase “God is in the
details” he encouraged his audience to
live and work in a thorough manner and
to take note of details, no matter how
small they may be.
Mies van der Rohe’s words are just as
resonant today with designers all over
the world working across all manner of
disciplines. While detail matters, much
of it we barely notice – even in the
context of a museum where objects
are intended to be observed at length
and up close.
The London Design Festival has
collaborated with Swarovski to set
a group of influential designers a
challenge on the theme of detail.
Each designer has selected an object
from the V&A’s extensive collections,
forming a multi-site exhibition within
the V&A’s galleries. Positioned next
to each chosen object is a viewing
point constructed from Swarovski
specialist lenses, which has been
installed to magnify the highlights or
curiosities within each piece’s design.
The detail might be hidden, it may be in
a combination of objects, an uncovered
texture, or it may reveal or redefine a
gallery view.
“Magnifying inspiring details is a simple
yet extraordinary concept, because
really looking at something means
seeing it in an entirely different way.
God Is in the Details invites us to look
at some of the V&A’s greatest treasures
as if for the first time, taking us on a
fascinating and enlightening journey
of discovery,” says Nadja Swarovski,
Member of the Swarovski
Executive Board.
The choices are incredibly personal;
the designers include practitioners
from a number of different fields
covering jewellery, architecture and
industrial design. Included in the
group of designers are the likes of
Paul Cocksedge, Tom Dixon, Amanda
Levete, Faye Toogood, Stephen
Webster and Osman Yousefzada, who
have honed in and handpicked objects
representing everything from the iconic
to the obscure. The project invites
visitors to embark on a more intense
experience of the Museum’s collections;
a “journey of detail” to discover features
that they may otherwise
have overlooked.

28.280
Enter through the main entrance of
the V&A and immediately look up.
Here you are greeted by the 28.280
custom-made chandelier by
Canada-based designer Omer Arbel.
Hung from the cupola, the highest
point of the building, the installation
spans the vast height of the Museum,
cascading more than 30 metres
through the centre of the ceramics
galleries, past the coffered ceiling
beneath and finally appearing above
the main doorway as visitors enter
the Museum.
The installation is made up of 280
individual 28 Series glass pendant
lamps that are each suspended from
the cupola. Every pendant is handmade
at design brand Bocci’s glass factory
in Canada using a fabrication process
developed by Arbel. “28 Series is an
exploration of a fabrication process
that is part of our quest for specificity,”
explains Arbel. “Instead of designing
form itself, here the intent was to design
a system that haphazardly yields form,
almost as a byproduct. 28 Series
pendants are the result of a complex
glass-blowing technique whereby air
pressure is intermittently introduced into
and then removed from a glass matrix
that is intermittently heated and then
rapidly cooled. The result is a distorted
spherical shape with a composed
collection of inner shapes, one of which
is made of opaque milk glass and
houses a light source.”

The main entrance is not the only
place to enjoy views of this installation.
Venture to The McAulay Gallery (Room
141, Contemporary Ceramics) on the
6th level for an entirely different vista
through the centre of the chandelier.
Within this cavernous domed space
you experience the full impact of the
installation as it descends from its fixing
point in the cupola, through a void in
the dome into the McAulay Gallery,
and down into the main entrance foyer.

The Dinner Party/True-to-Life Design
THE DINNER PARTY/TRUE-TO-LIFE DESIGN
THE VISITOR ENTERS JUST SECONDS AFTER
THE GUESTS HAVE LEFT TO SMOKE A CIGARETTE
IN THE GARDEN. ONE CAN USE THIS UNGUARDED
MOMENT TO LOOK AT THE LUXURIOUS DINNER
TABLE AND INTERIOR UNDISTURBED. THE MUSIC
IS STILL PLAYING SOFTLY…
Stefan Scholten, Scholten & Baijings
In galleries and museums, design
objects are frequently displayed on
pedestals or in glass vitrines, but rarely
in something resembling the everyday
living environment for which they were
conceived. The Norfolk House Music
Room in the British Galleries provides
a theatrical backdrop for Scholten
& Baijing’s The Dinner Party, where
visitors are invited to interrupt a dinner
party in session. This seemingly
lived-in but recently deserted “stage
set” creates a more natural and
adventurous way of viewing designed
objects, particularly glassware,
ceramics, polished steel, textile,
furniture and carpets.
The sharp contrast of the contemporary
tableware, all designed by the Dutch
studio Scholten & Baijings, against the
historic French-styled panelled interiors,
leads a visitor to ponder what once
may have taken place in this room.
As well as being used for music, the
Norfolk House Music Room was also
used by the original household for card
games and general social intercourse
before the V&A acquired it after Norfolk
House’s 1938 demolition.

Alessi made in Crusinallo. The Beauty and the Mastery
ALESSI MADE IN CRUSINALLO.
THE BEAUTY AND THE MASTERY
Many objects are simply part of
everyday life; in the neutral, reassuring
setting of home we make use of
them almost without noticing. Then
there are objects that somehow
make commonplace gestures more
pleasing, more straightforward and
more personal.
Alessi was founded in 1921 by Giovanni
Alessi and has developed a policy of
design excellence that has made it one
of the leading internationally renowned
Italian design factories. Alessi started
its life in metalworking and continues
to produce metal pieces to this day.
“I consider Alessi a good example
of the ‘Italian Design Factories’
phenomenon, but I insist on the fact
that we are more than an industry in
the conventional sense – we are
instead a research workshop in the
field of applied arts whose inherent
attitude, even though we rely on
contemporary industrial technology
and processing equipment, is still
rooted in handicraft culture,” says
Alberto Alessi, President of Alessi. Sackler Centre Foyer
14–22 September
Supported by Alessi
This exhibition in the foyer of the
V&A’s Sackler Centre provides visitors
with a rare insight into the production
processes of the world-famous brand,
exposing the making skills of its factory
by picking key pieces from its archive
to embellish each story. We discover
that every object is a small but great
adventure in creativity and technology
and that, even today, Alessi objects are
characterised by fine craftsmanship
thought often to be produced with the
aid of machinery.
The installation itself is reminiscent of
the workshops at the brand’s factory in
Crusinallo, Italy. Pieces are displayed in
their production cages, and Household
Goods Factory, a film about the factory
seen through the eyes of Turkish video
artist Ali Kazma, will be screened
throughout the Festival.
Alessi will be giving away its
iconic punched King Kong key
rings during the Festival.
Join Alberto Alessi who will be
discussing metalworking in a
talk at the V&A on 18 September
at 2.15pm. See page 70 for

8–18: THE TYPOGRAPHIC CIRCLE’S
CIRCULAR MAGAZINE
Gallery 55 has been transformed
for 8–18, a bold floor-to-ceiling
graphic installation celebrating the 2D
typography-led magazine titled Circular.
Domenic Lippa, Partner at worldrenowned design studio Pentagram,
has been designing the award-winning
Circular magazine since 1999 and
describes the practice as a “labour of
love” – combining his interest in both
typography and magazine design.
Issues 8 to 18 have no set style or
consistency; each issue is designed
from scratch and is unique.
The Typographic Circle is a
not-for-profit organisation, run
entirely by volunteers. It was
formed in 1976 to bring together
anyone with an interest in type and
typography and has since attracted
some of the most highly acclaimed
names in graphic design, including
Vince Frost, Stefan Sagmeister,
Alan Fletcher, North, Tom Hingston
and Spin.

“I’ve been working on Circular for 15
years now, which is unique in itself, but
what I’ve most enjoyed is that each
issue has a distinct and experimental
execution,” says Domenic Lippa.

MOLESKINE SKETCH RELAY

Moleskine and the London Design
Festival have invited over 70 key
London-based designers to participate
in Moleskine Sketch Relay, including
Alexander Taylor, Benjamin Hubert, Lee
Broom, Nina Tolstrup and Raw Edges.
The exhibition showcases illustrations
responding to the brief focusing on this
year’s campaign “Design is Here, There
and Everywhere”.
“At Moleskine we also believe design
is everywhere. An idea can be set
off wherever and whenever; what’s
important is that it is captured
and not lost. The blank pages of a
notebook make this happen,” says
Maria Sebregondi, VP Brand and
Communications, Moleskine.
Each designer has been asked a
selection of questions; firstly to illustrate
what objects, items, systems and
details they could not live without in a
private space or in the public domain.
Secondly, to examine what needs
improving within their personal or
professional life. Finally, the London
Design Festival has asked what each
designer would like to design that
they haven’t had the opportunity to
design before, the results of which
are displayed in Gallery 220 in the
Sackler Centre.
The exhibition includes work produced
by the public during a Sketchathon
event held on the first Saturday of the
Festival during the Graphics Weekend.

For many, the task of selecting what
to visit during the Festival can seem
overwhelming, particularly for those
with limited time or who are unfamiliar
with designers or brand names.
London’s design communities gravitate
to different districts creating distinct
clusters of activity. Design Districts can
be a great place to start your Festival
journey as each area hosts a wealth of
varied activity, often within the distance
of a few streets.
of the area’s personality and they each
have their own late night openings and
parties throughout the Festival.
Design Districts are not directly
organised by the London Design
Festival but have been an
important part of its growth and
are wholeheartedly embraced as
an important part of the Festival’s
navigation. Each has evolved over
the Festival’s history and this year we
are happy to announce that two new
Design Districts – Chelsea Design
Quarter and Clerkenwell Design
Quarter – are joining the existing three
of Brompton Design District, Fitzrovia
Now and Shoreditch Design Triangle.
Each district very much tells the story

The Shoreditch Design Triangle is now

brings together a fascinating collection
of designers, stores, galleries, studios,
cafés, bars, brands and one-off events
for a week of design-led festivities.
Truly collaborative, and harking back
to the days when the Hoxton and
Shoreditch area was re-invigorated by
the Young British Artist movement, the
event revels in the true spirit of London,
a place that bursts with new ideas,
historical places and spaces, and the
colourful characters who have strode
the East End for many a year. This
year the event incorporates more
than 30 different participants.

Rick Owens is a multi-faceted designer, in fashion he
is committed to a demanding and singular aesthetic.
His original vision plays on materials. Petrified presented
at Carpenters Workshop Gallery continues this vision,
verging on the abstract, outlining the archetype and
consolidating the subtle rhythms of his research
through origin-evoking petrified wood furniture.
Born from a desire to create furniture for his LA
home, Owens has adapted the simple plywood used
in his original designs to serve a wider audience,
incorporating venerable materials that instil permanence
within these bold silhouette-based forms whilst
acknowledging their past through the inclusion of
the original plywood.

Covent Garden will celebrate the London Design
Festival with an innovative kinetic installation by
renowned theatre designer Es Devlin, most recently
famed for her work on the London 2012 Olympic
Closing Ceremony and her set designs for The Royal
Opera’s Les Troyens. Illuminating Covent Garden’s
iconic East Piazza, and presented as part of the Royal
Opera House’s Deloitte Ignite festival, the work will be
an intriguing introduction to one of the most powerful
operas: The Ring Cycle by Richard Wagner. The Ring
Cyclotrope features Act III of Wagner’s Die Walküre,
simultaneously recorded at the Royal Opera House
on 21 separate cameras capturing all aspects of the
performance. With 26 screens in the revolving zoetrope
formation, the installation immerses visitors physically
and emotionally into a 21st-century take on Wagner’s
19th-century creation.

C.P. Hart opens a bathroom showroom in Chelsea
during the London Design Festival. A working studio
for architects and designers with innovative product
displays and technology, the showroom will feature a
dramatic lighting sculpture by Jason Bruges. Launch
activities will run throughout the week.
Cassina opens its doors to the creativity of icon Karl
Lagerfeld and presents Karl Lagerfeld photographie
Cassina. A connoisseur of contemporary design, the
union with Cassina is a natural evolution of his passion
for beautiful and timeless furniture. This is the first
time that Lagerfeld has carried out a photographic
project such as this. A selection of iconic designs have
been placed under his careful eye and via his lens
the furniture becomes part of his sophisticated style
and reveals a striking visual narrative – inviting us to
contemplate their meaning and rediscover the designs
with a new sensitivity.
An installation of iconic Cassina designs is presented
to accompany the prints, bringing the pieces to life,
creating a connection between the abstract and
the real.

Forty new pieces, ranging from massive primitive
copper-clad tables and book stands to mirror-polished
brass teapots, are shown for the first time in the UK in
an exploration of extreme opposites entitled The Rough
and the Smooth. Also unloading at The Dock is a sneak
peak of prototypes from our secret collaboration with
sports giant adidas and a new book, Dixonary – both
hot off the press, completing the review of a busy year
at Tom Dixon.
The Dock
This year, The Dock, hosted by Tom Dixon, sees the
West London canal-side estate erupt into an emporium
of hyperactive creativity. Product launches, a pop-up
marketplace, cuisine and commerce all champion a
“Made in Britain” ethic, supporting British manufacture
and celebrating the art of craft. Joining Tom Dixon is a
vibrant handmade marketplace where an assortment of
sellers all jostle for space. Moooi reveal their installation
Unexpected Welcome fresh from Milan, and Stevie

Designers In Residence
South 233
The Design Museum’s annual Designers in Residence
programme provides a platform to celebrate new and
emerging designers at an early stage in their career.
The designers in residence responding to this year’s
brief on identity are Adam Nathaniel Furman, Eunhee
Jo, Chloe Meineck and Thomas Thwaites.
Ever wondered what the fuss over 3D printing is about?
Want to know more about how the things around you
are made? Want to know how new technology will
change your life?
The Future is Here explores these issues and the
ever-changing relationships with the designed world,
where the boundaries between designer, manufacturer
and consumer are becoming increasingly blurred.
Significant changes in the way objects are made, the
materials they are made of and the type of objects that
people use have the potential to affect commerce,
industry and the environment as profoundly as any past
Industrial Revolution.

Can a TV remote control become a sensual, playful,
or valuable object? Sixty years after the creation of
“Lazy Bones,” the remote control seems to have
remained frozen as a collection of buttons in a block
of plastic. However, it is a daily link between our real
body and the digital world sitting in the middle of the
living room.
EPFL+ECAL Lab, in collaboration with the Kudelski
Group, has invited four art schools to rethink this icon
of our relation to technical devices: the Royal College
of Art, ENSCI – Les Ateliers, Parsons – the New School
for Design, and ECAL.
