thedesignvlog.com’s final vlog of The London Design Festival 2010

October 25th, 2010

Emma Elizabeth visits 100% Design, the original platform of the London Design Festival where she meets Nick Fraser and his unique take on pipes and bolts, and has her design credentials tested by The Decorator’s, Design Collective (no surprises here!). A quick tube ride to TENT and a chat to Tim from Venice and Napier about his celebration of the history of design fused into his extraordinary designs.

And finally over at The Oxo Building, Emma Elizabeth takes in the whole precinct of exhibitions that make up this years Designers Block, finishing the exhibition up in Yoo-kyung Shin’s bed!
