Super Contemporary is the current showcase exhibition at The Design Museum, who have teamed up with Beefeater 24 to commission 15 new design projects by established and emerging London designers. Each design touches on a social consideration of design within London, such as the ‘K9 Post Office Kiosk’ by Industrial Facility; ‘The Listening Station’ by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby; and Paul Smith’s reactive rabbit shaped rubbish bin, whose ears light up in thanks when receiving a piece of rubbish.

“It’ll be fine, just wack a cable tie on it”
September 24th, 2009Wow, so design week is upon us again. The festival has begun and so have the openings, the parties and the free drinks. Several glasses of champagne were enjoyed by myself and Ian Atkins at the LDF launch with Boris Johnson at City Hall on Monday night, a pleasant evening that was certainly brought to life by his speech, despite its late deliverance. That man has a wonderful knack of digging himself a hole, almost deep enough to fall in, but somehow saving himself from the precipice with some charming wit and characterful bumbling.

September 24th, 2009Boris was the man we were all waiting for, whilst sipping Champagne surrounded by the most amazing panoramic view of London from the ninth floor of City Hall. This isn’t design, but it was the launch of the London Design Festival.
