This year’s London Design Festival 14th – 22nd September will see Seven Dials celebrating the event with a number of unique pop-up galleries and design concepts.
Seven Dials, the famous shopping village in Covent Garden, is an established meeting place for everyone who is interested in fresh, unique and creative art, film and fashion.
The highlights from this year’s Festival will include:
The Lost Soles Gallery
The gallery at 38 Earlham Street will showcase artwork and host live theatre inspired by the common, yet strange, occurrence of abandoned shoes. The project presented by Riff Raff productions, is inspired by the twitter feed @abandonedshoes, where people from all over the world post photos of shoes they find in strange locations that have somehow become separated from their owners.
TMforF&M
Feix&Merlin – the architecture studio co-founded by Julia Felix and Tarek Merlin, will be launching their new brand ‘TMforF&M’ at 53 Monmouth Street during the London Design Festival. Enjoy their unique architectural installation and browse furniture and lighting design products on show for the first time.
Do Shop – Central Saint Martin’s Invasion & Event Workshops
A group of international design graduates from Central Saint Martin’s will be ‘invading’ Do Shop, occupying the basement floor to handcraft a selection of products that ‘captures the spirit of London’ using his or her individual variety of skills and disciplines.
All students will be responsible for their own marketing, promotions and sales of their wonderfully unique products, as well as hosting events including a jewellery and ceramic workshop for the public to explore their creative world, engage with the designers and most importantly see the work that will be the future of London design.
