| One of the highlights of London Design Festival are without doubt, the V&A. Do not miss it! Outside, at the new Exhibition Road entrance, the architects Waugh Thistleton has constructed a "house" from reusable cross laminated timber. Cubes that can be formed into different structures... |
 |
| You are able to walk around the "Multiply" construction. |
 |
| "Dazzle" was, or is, a form of disguise, a way of camouflaging ships during the first world war. A dazzling graphic design installation at the V&A. |
 |
| In the tapestry room the danish artist has put together everyday objects to a "Onion Farm". Using objects that relates to the tapestries like brushes and sock-material. To me it looks more like being under the sea or in a car wash. Amazing... |
 |
| Meanwhile London Fashion Week is still on. This beachy dress etc in bright yellow (still a colour growing stronger for next summer) was shown at the Waldorf Hilton by Johnstons of Elgin. Elegant and bold at the same time. |
 |
| Unfortunately the showrooms at LFW at the 180 Strand has shrunk...what is going to happen to the shows??? Anyway, these "boxy" bags reminds me of my first handbag in the late 1960s... |
 |
| Time for tea, a new installation/collection by Scholten and Baijings from Denmark/Holland for Fortnum and Mason. To us Scandinavians this i familiar but for F&M very minimalistic and elegant... |
 |
| One of my favourites this year is the Landmark installation "Alphabet" at Broadgate. The graphic designers Kellenberger and White has created small "furniture" of the alphabet. Ikea or some similar company should take these into production, please! |
 |
| One of the big advantages of being a journalist and attending these shows are were it takes you. Yesterday morning one of the fashion shows was performed in the Church in Lambeth that is now a Garden Musuem. What a tranquil beautiful spot. Highly recommended...more from LDF and LFW soon... |
