With around 250 events under the London Design Festival umbrella but with not much time to spare, I did a mad dash around East London then hopped over to Earl’s Court to catch 100% Design.
This was The Tramshed’s first year and it was great. Our friend’s BCMH were showing within the Them There section. They’ve recently completed the graphics for ‘Speed and Light: Edward Gordon Craig’, a new show at the V&A.
Them There also included Cristian Zuzunaga who is building up a reputation for exciting collaborations (with Kvadrat, Ligne Roset and Hästens amongst many others) and particularly for his brightly coloured, giant pixel prints. They’ve been applied to bags, scarves and even a sofa, which was produced with Moroso:

Elsewhere in the Tramshed I spotted Luke Pearson giving a talk, Michelle Mullins’ gorgeous cushions and Rare’s ‘digitally crafted surfaces’; lovely textures created for wall panels. Furniture makers Benchmark practically re-located to London and installed a functioning workshop:
