 WELCOME
Chairman
Sir John Sorrell CBE
London is home to the most diverse creative com-
munity in the world, working across every aspect
of design.
The London Design Festival encourages the wid-
est possible diversity and this year there will be more
design disciplines than ever on show. From graphics
to product, interior to engineering, digital to anima-
tion, furniture to fashion, architecture to transport
and more. I love these different facets of design and
I am most excited when I see the disciplines crossing
over, colliding and combining.
As well as multi-disciplinary design we are seeing
more and more cities and countries from around the
world joining us each year. They want to promote their
design and creative industries sectors here in London
and become part of the celebration. We welcome their
contribution to the Festival and to the conversation
and debate about how design can make the world a
better place.
I hope you have a great Festival.

LANDMARK
PROJECTS
A major feature of the London Design Festival each year
is the ambitious programme of installations that we
call our Landmark Projects. First introduced in 2007, we
commission the worlds best designers and architects,
as well as pioneering new talents, to create something
extraordinary in response to a variety of stimuli such
as a particular material, a theme or a location. Over
the years, these installations have appeared in some of
Londons most prominent and best-loved spaces, including
the V&A, Southbank Centre, Tate Modern and Trafalgar
Square. This year, Greenwich Peninsula joins that list.
These installations have now become the public face
of the London Design Festival, representing spectacular
punctuation points around the city. They serve to
showcase the ambition, creativity and experimentation
that give London its reputation as the design capital of
the world.
The installations are the result of multiple partnerships
between designers, fabricators and venues. Crucially, our
Landmark Projects are made possible with the generous
patronage of our sponsors who have supported our
ongoing quest for ambition and excellence over the years.
The following pages feature information about our
projects and events for 2015.

British sculptor Alex Chinneck is renowned for el-
evating everyday objects and scenarios to surreal
monuments, transforming the familiar into the ex-
traordinary. For this years Festival, he has created A
Bullet from a Shooting Star, an outdoor installation at
Greenwich Peninsula that is testament to the sites
rich industrial history and acts as a visual beacon sig-
nifying the sites future as a new residential district
for London. The enormous lattice of steel takes the
form of an inverted electricity pylon that appears to
have been shot into the ground at a precarious angle.
My work is a combination of surrealism and
spectacle, he says. In this case, the spectacle is
provided by the sheer scale of the sculpture and the
physical feat of balancing it on its tip.
The site-specific installation plays with the in-
dustrial language of the peninsula, which was once
home to the largest oil and gas works in Europe and
a steelworks. The works construction and materiality
reflect that of the historical structures still on site,
particularly that of the now-abandoned gas tower.
I was inspired by the incredible history of indus-
try and power generation on the site, enthuses the
artist on Greenwich Peninsulas past. There are
a number of architectural relics that remain from
that time, and that aesthetic along with the historical
narrative led me to electricity pylons.
The impressive 35 metre-high structure is visible
from a multitude of viewpoints on and surrounding
the peninsula, including North Greenwich Station,
the Emirates Airline cable car, the Thames Clipper
service, Canary Wharf, and all planes that fly to and
from City Airport. Given the site and various points
of view to it, there was a fantastic opportunity and a
creative pressure to deliver a real cultural and sculp-
tural beacon, says Chinneck. The works dramatic
silhouette, which is illuminated at night, creates a
prominent landmark that attracts attention to the
area and its future. During the day, the work casts
an intricate maze of dynamic shadows across the
surrounding roads and footpaths, engaging visitors
walking beneath.
Greenwich is the centre of world time, and Im
interested in the idea that the sculpture intersects
the prime meridian line, acting as a giant sundial,
says the artist.

 A Bullet from a Shooting Star comprises 450
pieces of steel and 900 engineered connection
points, all constructed from a combined length of
1186 metres of steel weighing 15 tons. The project
is a marvellous feat of engineering made possible in
partnership with specialist fabricators and engineers.
The work takes a complex path to reach a dra-
matic conclusion, says Chinneck. For the London
Design Festival I wanted to take on my biggest
challenge to date one that could only be realised
through collaborative design and problem solving.
A Bullet from a Shooting Star was commissioned
by the Festival in collaboration with Knight Dragon,

It is always thrilling to see the Museum enlivened
by the broad and imaginative range of displays and
installations that appear during the London Design

The curved and rectangular platforms are laid

century and has since been enveloped by the urban

THE
London Design Festival has joined forces with Irish
Design 2015 to commission a major installation for
the V&As Tapestry Gallery, as part of a year-long

The project brings together Stirling Prize-nominee

The V&As Tapestry Gallery is an oasis within

interprets letters from this ancient language as an

concrete fins. A central linear element brings order

to the installation, with an arrangement of smaller
perpendicular and angled fins projecting off it to
create an abstract rendering of each letter.
The Ogham script looks very architecturallike the
plan for a colonnadeand we were interested in ex-
ploring that idea and translating this series of letters
into architectural elements, say Grafton Architects.
Graphic Relief has crafted the 23 fins from rough
concrete combined with metal details. The surface of
each fin has then been polished to a smooth finish in
some parts, contrasting with slight material imper-
fections in others that are an intentional by-product
of the experimental casting process.
Together with Grafton Architects, weve pushed
the concrete in a completely new direction, says
Eric Barrett from Graphic Relief. Its a combination
of old-fashioned mould-making techniques and
amazing contemporary technology. Ive never seen
anything like it before.
Each Ogham letter traditionally references the
name of a species of tree, and Grafton Architects
have worked with Graphic Relief to cast magnified
and abstracted tree bark patterns into the fins. The
result is a tactile surface that references the richly
textured tapestries in the room, and is described by
Grafton as man-made geology that is beautiful to
touch and to look at.

Designers Laetitia de Allegri and Matteo Fogale have
collaborated with Johnson Tiles to create Mise-en-
abyme, a colourful and immersive installation for
Gallery 112, the bridge over the Medieval and Re-
naissance galleries in the V&A. Fascinated by the
discovery of one-point perspective during the Re-
naissance period, the duo have created a landscape
of overlapping semi-transparent shapes that plays
with the viewers sense of perspective. The title of
the work is a French term that literally translates as
placed into abyss, and refers to the experience of
walking through the installation.
The grout lines of the tiles lining the bridge
represent the perspective grid lines found on Renais-
sance drawings, creating an illusion of exaggerated
depth that draws the viewer into the work. Each tile
features a custom pattern of gradating colour that
makes the landscape across the bridge appear to
open outward or to close inward, depending on the
visitors point of view.
londondesignfestival.com #LDF15
26
Contrasting with the pale interiors of the sur-
rounding galleries and the creamy marble sculptures
within them, the designers have created an explosion
of coloured acrylic panels layered across the length
of the bridge. These bright semi-transparent panels
also reference the V&As colourful glass and stained
glass collections displayed in nearby galleries. As
visitors move across the bridge, they pass through
increasingly small openings in these panels, a literal
interpretation of perspective translated to three-di-
mensional space that offers an immersive experience.
We wanted to create an abstract installation
with a strong visual effect that is light and floating,
in contrast to the heavy marble surroundings in these
galleries, say the designers. Mise-en-abyme is not
just something to look at. We have created some-
thing to experience.

a frame of matte black aluminium. A roll of vividly
printed mesh runs in a continuous loop inside the two
aluminium faces moving up one side and down the
other. As light shines through the graphic mesh and
the crystals, the pattern and colour is projected and
distorted, creating an ephemeral and dynamic effect
that brings the crystal to life and draws the eye upward.
At the top of the structure which can be viewed from

collection is constantly evolving. It reflects and rep-

as in society. Supporters of the Design Fund have
enabled the V&A to continue to acquire objects at
the vanguard of contemporary design.
The latest selection of acquisitions encompasses
works by both national and international designers,
artists and architects. They include Dutch designer
Marten Baas Plastic Chair in Wood commissioned
by Pearl Lam Gallery (Shanghai). Hand crafted by
Chinese woodcarvers, the elmwood chairs form is
taken from the ubiquitous Monobloc chair. The dis-

Paglen of US intelligence agencies. Paglens work
aims to reveal the physical evidence of the immaterial
world of surveillance and espionage.
The Museum has also been able to acquire Rare
Earthenware, a project by Unknown Fields Division
commissioned for the exhibition What is Luxury?.
The project retraces the global supply chain of
the rare earth elements widely used in consumer
electronics, thus questioning our relationships with
demand and necessity, pollution and value.

AND EXHIBITIONS
Barnaby Barford: The Tower of Babel
8 Sept1 Nov
Medieval & Renaissance 1350-1600, The Paul and
Jill Ruddock Gallery, Room 50a, Level 1
A major sculptural installation created for the V&A
by artist Barnaby Barford, The Tower of Babel tells an
array of stories about our capital city, our society and
economy, and ourselves as consumers. Standing an
imposing six metres high, the Tower comprises 3000
bone china shops, each one unique, each depicting
a real London shop photographed by the artist. At
its base the shops are derelict, while at its pinnacle
are the crme-de-la-crme of Londons exclusive
boutiques and galleries.
Standing as a monument to the great British pastime
of shopping, Barfords apparently precarious Tower
playfully likens our efforts to find fulfilment through
retail with the biblical Tower of Babels attempt to
reach heaven. Explicitly blurring the boundaries of
art and commerce, each shop in the Tower will be for
sale during its exhibition. With more prestigious but
less affordable properties higher in the Tower, Barford
confronts us with the choices we ourselves make as
consumers, through necessity or desire.
Blue and White: British Printed Ceramics

will be held at Somerset House in
September 2016. Up to 40 countries
will create design statements that

address the theme, Utopia by Design.

The historic setting of Somerset House is the exciting new location to be

joining the London Design Festival in 2015. As a major centre for arts and
culture in the heart of London, this is a prominent new destination for
Festival visitors and the host to some imaginative installations and features.
Commenting on the collaboration, Somerset House Director, Jonathan
Reekie says, Somerset House embraces a broad range of cultural
activity, including music, fashion, film and photography, and design
is a very important part of this mix. As well as being both a stimulating
environment in which many designers and makers work, we also are an
important public platform for the best in contemporary design through
our exhibitions and events. He continues, With strong links to the design
community, we are pleased to present a number of projects as part
of the London Design Festival.
This year, Ten Designers in the West Wing brings together a series of
installations by leading international designers including Edward Barber
and Jay Osgerby, Ross Lovegrove, Jasper Morrison, Arik Levy and Faye
Toogood. Each designer, working with one or more of their clients,
is creating a bespoke environment in which to display their work.
Furthermore, the winners of our Powered by Tweets competition with
Twitter UK are being exhibited, as well as the worldwide launch of a new
electronics product by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Samsung. Fans
of hands-on designer Max Lamb should check out My Grandfathers Tree
installation in the Embankment Gallery, while those intrigued to discover
the winners of this years London Design Medals should explore the
exhibition displaying some of their achievements.

21-27 September
Earlier this year, the London Design Festival teamed
up with Twitter in the UK to present a nationwide
design competition called #PoweredByTweets:
The Challenge. The competition invited entrants to
come up with an idea that either solves a problem
using Twitter or creates something beautiful using
Twitter data.
Already around the world, the live and public
nature of Twitter has inspired people to create ob-
jects and installations that are powered by Tweets. A
Tweet can make something move, light up or even fly
and it happens in real time. This competition helped
galvanise some of these ideas and attracted entries
from across the country from creative agencies, me-
dia agencies and brands to universities, hospitals,
start-ups and, of course, individuals.
The winning ideas are being exhibited at Som-
erset House during the Festival in an exhibition
designed by Bureau de Change. We were blown
away by the effort and hard work that went into the
ideas, states Helen Lawrence, Head of Creative
Agency Development at Twitter UK. Twitter is a
powerful platform that is used in so many unexpected
ways, and this project has definitely reinforced that.
It is incredible to see innovation like this, powered
by Tweets, that could genuinely impact the way we
live our day to day lives.

 The Embankment Gallery at Somerset House is the
backdrop to a sizeable installation by British designer
Max Lamb, titled My Grandfathers Tree.
The tree in question is an old ash that had started
to rot on the land of the designers grandfathers farm
in Yorkshire. To avoid the danger it posed to his nearby
cottage, the tree was reluctantly felled. Together with
my tree surgeon friend Jon Turnbull, we dissected the
tree from the top downwards, cutting it into sections
at regular intervals, which I could transform into fin-
ished logs to be used as stools, tables and chairs,
explains Max. I wanted the tree to remain integral
to the wood and to process each section of the tree
as little as possible, other than to make the top and
base level in order to give function to the material.
The result is sections of the tree divided into 130
logs laid out in order of diameter, with the 187 annual
growth rings clearly visible. With his intention that his
grandfathers tree should survive beyond its rooted
life, the ash tree continues to exist as an ash tree,
but with a new life, a new function and the start of a
new history.
Over the past decade, Max Lamb has garnered
a reputation for working with his hands to directly
manipulate single materials, turning the likes of boul-
ders, logs and even polystyrene into roughly hewn
seating objects, tables and the likes. This project is
an ambitious extension of his genre, working with an
entire tree to dramatic effect.

DESTINATIONS
There are over 300 events and installations to see and over 250
Partners involved across the London Design Festival, so you would
be forgiven for not knowing where to start. Amid this mix, there
are a number of larger Design Destinations that provide key focus
points across the capital for designers, manufacturers, buyers,
specifiers, the media and design enthusiasts alike. They are the
commercial pillars of the Festival and the places to discover a
wealth of new product releases and identify current trends.
These must-visit events are spread between designjunction, which
takes up two new venues in Central London at the Old Central Saint
Martins building and Victoria House; in East London, Tent London
and Superbrands London remain at the Old Truman Brewery on
Brick Lane; to the West, 100% Design moves into the exhibition halls
of Olympia London while Focus/15 stages its events again at Design
Centre Chelsea Harbour. Further to the West, Decorex International
returns to the magnificent setting of Syon Park.
You can easily spend a half-day or more at each Design Destination
and they provide perfect meeting points during the Festival. They
attract huge audiences ranging from those looking for inspiration
to those commissioning bespoke projects. Furthermore, they set
the stage for many emerging designers and makers, as well as all
hosting a range of informative seminars, events and presentations.
Its worth noting that the individual Design Destinations have their
own dates and opening hours and dont all run for the entirety of
the Festival: check relevant websites when planning your visit and
ensure you register in advance to attend.

as eco, design and build. The 21st edition takes place
in a new venue and Show Director William Knight
tells us more.
Whats special about your location?
This is the first time 100% Design has been staged
at Olympia London. Were excited by the possibilities
for growth and developing the visitor experience at
Olympia as well as in the surrounding area.
Staging the show under the Grand Halls glass
Victorian roof means natural light will play a big part
for the first time and this allows us to demonstrate
colour and texture as designers and manufacturers
intended. The show is also split across levels for the
first time.

partner, WGSN, to put key 2016 colours throughout
the show. Our talented design teams have interpret-
ed Design in Colourthis years themeacross our
features, including the Sensory Kitchen by Thomas
Matthews; the talks auditorium by Anne Kyyro Quinn;
and the materials space Mattergarden by mette. The
overall show designers, Studio Design, have devised a
stunning colour-led interiors feature, the Central Bar,
supported by Perspex, and the main lighting feature
thats not to be missed.
How do you see your show fits within the citywide
mix of the London Design Festival?
100% Design is a focused industry event. It allows the
professional design community to immerse them-
selves within the specialist areas of interest that the
show provides, with each section providing an array of
world-class brands and exhibitors. Our two streams of
talks programmes mean that professionals can pick
from over eight talks a day on a range of industry-led
and focused topics, allowing visitors to educate them-
selves whilst being inspired. Its essential.
Trade visitors should pre-register via the website.

Decorex is the longest-standing design and interior
show during the Festival, bringing together contem-
porary, traditional and bespoke interior items of high
quality and outstanding craftsmanship to the historic
venue of Syon Park. Brand Director Simone du Bois
describes this years show.
What are some of the new feature areas for the
show this year?
This year we embrace the theme The future of luxury
and have chosen to focus on Making Luxury in four
areas, which will present traditional craftsmanship
while at the same time having embraced the latest
technology and knowledge to ensure their future.
Working with Mat Lab, a feature dedicated to sur-
faces will explore the latest technological advances in
this exciting area. Future Heritage returns to present
the latest names in British craft to covet and collect,
whilst the New Craftsmen brings together a haven
of British makers in the House & Garden VIP lounge.
What components of the show are you personally
most excited about?
Russell Sage is designing the Champagne Bar this
yearhis eclectic, eccentric, fun style and attention to
detail will make this a great space to relax in. Future
Heritage is a personal journey of discovery for me and
thanks to Corinne Julius, one Im hugely inspired by.
This year weve created the Decorex Future Heritage
Grant, an investment from us to both commission and
support the makers of the future.
How do you keep your event current?
We have always looked to evolve with our community,
embracing future talent and processes while cher-
ishing the brands that have grown with us. We have
a strong British exhibiting contingent spanning all
design disciplines, both contemporary and classic.
The common denominator is the high level of quality
of craftsmanship and design they share. This has in
turn led to an increased level of international compa-
nies wishing to exhibit alongside brands they consider
to be of an equal level.
Trade only event. The public can visit on Tuesday

ing names in the industry. The third edition of our
dedicated lighting show lightjunction will return
with incredible installations from the best global
lighting brands.
Across both venues, expect to find one-off collab-
orations, the best international brands and tasty food
from across the globe.
How do you continue to evolve the show each year?
Moving venues is one way of keeping the show fresh,
as we get to re-curate the space. For us its important
to continue to add new brands, content and features
to the show such as flash factories, delectable food
offerings and relevant content while striking the right
balance between creative and commercial.

What makes Londons design scene special in
your opinion?
With its mix of design, fashion, music and film, London
is recognised as one of the worlds leading creative
hubs. Its a complex city of great energy and diver-
sity. Culture, arts, economics and architecture (both
old and new), as well as international residents and
businesses based in the capital, all thrive together in
a vibrant and stimulating melting pot. All these things

DESIGN
DISTRICTS
The scale of London means you can waste a lot of time traversing
the city if you dont plan your journeys carefully. We suggest that
its best to treat London as a series of small districts and visit
a concentrated cluster of events in these districts by foot.
This year there are seven official Design Districts, each with its
own character and sensibilities. Each District has evolved over
the 13 years of the Festival history with Bankside Design District
debuting in 2015. Although these Districts are organised locally
and independently, they have become an important part of the
Festivals growth.
Each District brings its own distinct personality to proceedings,
and this year comprises:
BANKSIDE DESIGN DISTRICT runs east-west along the Thames and
is the first District in South London to become part of the Festival;
BROMPTON DESIGN DISTRICT is the longest-running and takes place
within walking distance of the V&A; CHELSEA DESIGN QUARTER
specialises in interior design showrooms around the southern end
of Kings Road and Lots Road; CLERKENWELL DESIGN QUARTER returns
with a stronghold in the local furniture showrooms; nearby is the
ISLINGTON DESIGN DISTRICT comprising a collection of design-led
shops, showrooms and cafs; QUEENS PARK DESIGN DISTRICT enjoys
its second year with a concentration of events in North West
London; and SHOREDITCH DESIGN TRIANGLE embraces more events
this year within this creative hotspot in the capital.
Each District has its own late night openings and parties
throughout the period of the Festival.

TRAVEL

00/0000/P
London is a vast city to navigate and, without proper planning,
you can waste a lot of time traveling between events.
We recommend a number of digital tools to assist in plotting your
travel route:
Use our online event search londondesignfestival.com/events
combined with My Festival to plan your own tailored itinerary.
Click Around Me when you are out and about to see events near
to your location.
For real-time travel information and public transport route
options, visit the Transport for London website and use their
Journey Planner: tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/ or download the
Citymapper App to your smartphone.
When using public transport, it is essential that you pre-
purchase an Oyster card (digital ticket), available at any
London station or Oyster Ticket Stops.

TUBE
The London Underground network comprehensively covers London
and is the fastest way to cover distance. If youre traveling short
distances, it may be quicker on a bus, bicycle or on foot.

BUS
The iconic red London bus is a good way to travel above ground
and enjoy the changing city views. Hop on a bus to take you short
distances or enjoy longer journeys if you have time.

BICYCLE
Weather permitting, getting around London on a bicycle is a
great way to traverse the city. Bicycles can be hired easily from
any Santander Bicycle Hire docking station, located across the
capitals central zone. Ride safely!

ON FOOT
London is a pleasant city in which to walk. We recommend you
experience the Design Districts by foot, which can all be traversed
in about 20 minutes.
