Events: London Design Festival Roundup

September 27, 2011

I managed to hit all the major events during last week's London Design Festival, crisscrossing the city to shows and exhibitions from Shoreditch Triangle to West London. With nearly 300 events, the worlds of fashion, architecture, textiles, home furnishings, and interiors all seemed to converge.

Wilson's Anglepoise lamp rejuvenates the traditional British utility lamp with a glass shade and an LCD bulb; for more snapshots from the show, see our Facebook album: London Design Week; Day 3: Design Junction).
