  • Ready Made Go 4
    Ready Made Go 4Since 2015, Ace Hotel Shoreditch and Modern Design Review have collaborated on one of the most unusual shows of the London Design Festival: Ready Made Go sees a select group of London designers create a new range of newly commissioned products especially for the hotel each year. But, unlike other LDF highlights, the pieces created are not part of a temporary exhibition but remain permanently installed additions at Ace Hotel. They might be furniture or tableware, door handles or candlesticks – an

  • New Designers' rebel with a cause
    New Designers' rebel with a causeWhen designer-maker Poppy Booth first rocked up at Kingston University, she wasn’t sure the world needed more designers. Having studied furniture and cabinet making at the Boat Building Academy and at École Boulle respectively, the driven and technically accomplished Poppy felt comfortable with functional, useful craftsmanship but found that the consumerist nature of the design industry – plus its obsessions with meaningless adornment, what she calls “hundreds and thousands” – jarred with her et
  • Material of the Year: Q&A with Charlotte Kidger
    Material of the Year: Q&A with Charlotte Kidger‘I feel the initial interest and urge to work with waste plastic is driven by the instinctive need to find alternative ways of using waste in general – answering the demands of finding new and alternative raw materials instead of harvesting what we already have at our fingertips.’ These are the words of designer Charlotte Kidger, whose debut furniture collection combines waste polyurethane foam dust from CNC milling with bright pigments and a resin to bind and make textural, colourful forms.

  • Dutch Stuff
    Dutch StuffThis September is the first time that Dutch design will have a dedicated presence at London Design Fair, as over 65 studios, collectives, labels and independent makers from the Netherlands come together for an unprecedented national showcase. Dutch Stuff is a deliberately eclectic, multi-disciplinary exhibition taking place against the raw industrial backdrop of the Old Truman Brewery’s 6,000sq m top-floor space. Presented in the classic Dutch immersive gallery style, the show presents furniture, lighting, textiles, jewellery, ceramics and category-defying sculptural objects from the most innovative minds on the Dutch design scene. The largest areas of the exhibition will be occupied by three sub-shows curated by the most exciting contemporary design labels associated with the Netherlands: innovation-driven designer-run platform Form&Seek, which is launching its first commercial collection at Dutch Stuff; Eindhoven-based design retailer Vij5, and – at the most experimental end of the spectrum – boundary-pushing design group Dutch Invertuals. Interwoven between these three areas, London Design Fair’s selection of 19 independent designers and studios presents a spectrum of work representing the best of Dutch design today.
