This cushion makes me happy

I love Camille Walala's bold, no-holds-barred bonkers designs (just check out her website... though not if you suffer from epilepsy, perhaps: it is IN YOUR FACE).

Her basic approach to design is that it should make you happy. She is, I would say, successful. This cushion, which you can buy from the designer's website or CultureLabel, for £48, certainly does the job...

She also has a rather marvellous blog, on which there are more of these sorts of messages, including 'rave more', 'learn more' and 'floss more'. Quite.

Outline Editions pop-up shop
at Designjunction

Maybe you remember that, for last year's London Design Festival, the innovative illustrator collective, Outline Editions, hosted a one-man interactive art show called Cut it Out, by the graphic artist, Noma Bar, where visitors could create their own designs with him, using a giant, clunking contraption.

This year, they have some more unusual events in store, and are also showcasing Noma's work, alongside woodblock typographic posters by Anthony Burrill and bright, bold collages by the Scandinavian designer, Petra Borner, beautifully simple 60s-tinged prints by the French illustrator, Malika Favre, as well as map prints by the Icelandic artist, Kristjana S Williams (whose beautiful Victorian botanical 'mash-ups' I featured last week). Many of the prints are eminently affordable – they start at £40, going up to £530 if you're getting serious – but also highly collectible (Outline know their onions). Everything is also available to buy online.

Anthony Burrell, 'What Does it Mean?', £40 (76cm x 51cm). Open edition, signed.
Malika Favre, 'Egyptian', £130 (50cm x 70cm). Limited edition, signed and numbered.

Noma Bar, 'Birdland', £350 (50cm x 70cm). Signed limited edition.
