London Design Festival

I am still unsure whether i am going to be around for the London design Festival this year, so i have been having a nose through the press and design pages. Stuart Haygarth digresses from his usual medium of found and collated objects, (which he painstakingly and sublimely re-purposes), for an installation focusing on framing a staircase at the V&A.  Barber & Osgerby open the doors of their studio in Shoreditch so you can get an insight into their working environment, and just around the corner, Tomoko Azumi goes solo at the Rocket Gallery. Paul Cocksedges' sculpture on the southbank looks very promising indeed, part of the Size & Matter series. And obviously there are the larger shows, TENT and 100% Design where you can see upcoming stars and established brands battle for attention. I do have a soft spot for objects that lean, so instantly noticed andthendesign's Lean Man series (pictured above) which will be shown at 100%.
There are a million other things on, but i suggest you get the printed Design Week Booklet, as i don't think the website makes it easy to discover the little gems that will undoubtedly be out there.
