London Design Festival postscript – part II

As promised, some more of my highlights from last week...


I couldn't stop staring at Kirath Ghundoo's gorgeous Mix n Match range of wallpapers, at 100% Design.The brilliant but simple idea is that you – yes – mix and match different rolls (£150 each) of the designer's colourful, geometric rolls (pictured above, main image, and below, bottom), to create any number of your own designs accordingly. Beautiful.

Equally dazzling were the striking new fabrics for Ercol, on display at Tent (above, top). They were created by New Designs student fabric design winner, Henoc Maketo, who draws inspiration from his native Congo (DRC).

And I couldn't resist these bizarre but brilliant porcelaine figurines of a chihuahua and a pug by Berlin-based ceramicist, Uta Koloczek (above and below).
