A couple weeks ago, I went into London to have a look at some of the Design Festival. Mind Over Matter by Alan Fletcher was interesting. I got a little bit depressed seeing a wall of sketchbook pages and his visual research. But gave me that tiny bit of motivation on how much research I have to do now.
Noma Bar 'Cut It Out' was quite fun to look at. Noma Bar played around more with a recurring theme - negative space. And the use of bold colours in each cut outs gave the whole piece humour and attraction. In the middle of the exhibiting area, a massive die-cutting machine shaped of a dog where one can produce their own cut-outs. Very interactive.
Outside the V&A, a huge installation by Amanda Levete Architects 'Timber Wave' was phenomenal. The 3-D latticespiral work built from oil-treated American red oak surely is an exciting and dramatic installation which brings the London Design Festival out on the street.
The textile field in the V&A was quite amazing for me - more like the time we spent there lying on it was quite relaxing after a long day of walking throughout London.
