Yesterday I shared some of the London Design Festival's best elements situated at the hub of the festival, the Victoria & Albert Museum. However, the festival takes place all over London, so there's something to see wherever you can get to. Today, I put together the ten events/exhibitions from the rest of the festival which I'd most like to see - from graphic design and illustration to architecture and installations.
Alternative Film Posters, The Dark City Gallery | showcasing new designs of posters for some great films, made by some of the best graphic designers around
Cafe Smug, Islington | a beautiful shop set up to sell handcrafted items; stationary, homeware, accessories and much more. They'll be running workshops and showcasing a new collection from Donna Wilson.
Restless Futures, Central St Martins | featuring some of the best design work from recent graduates of CSM, focusing on the future of design and its potential changes.
100 + 50 + 10, London College of Communication | an exhibition celebrating 50 years of illustration, showcasing some of the best contemporary illustration work and exploring the impact of illustration on design; 100 years of poster design; 10 years of Stereohype, the graphic art label.
Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture, The Design Museum | a detailed exhibition including Kahn's drawings, models, photographs and films.
The First Law of Kipple, Dan Tobin Smith | useless and otherwise unwanted objects arranged beautifully in colour spectrums, inspired by the term given to our built up clutter by Philip K Dick.
Detour London, Moleskine | the Moleskine display looks to be great as usual: see the notebooks used by great designers from a range of disciplines.
Craftsmanship in the British Isles, The New Craftsmen | the New Craftsmen will be showcasing some of the best British artisan craftsmen and women in the business on certain days during LDF.
Celebrating the Mundane, The Partners | an exhibition revealing the design behind some of the most common objects in design history, discovering interest in the things we might normally overlook.
Stamp Station, Present & Correct | the stationary shop gives the public an opportunity to use stamps and an array of different materials to create your own graphic artwork (open at certain points during LDF).
