LDF18: 100% Design ? Now in Glorious Technicolor
We explored 100% Design and noticed a stronger selection of brands and a better mix of features.
It’s amazing what a colorful carpet can do ? 100% Design’s bright approach to its flooring seemed to light up the whole show, with a stronger selection of brands and a better mix of features, showcasing new design talent and innovative ideas, than in recent years.
Print and textile designer Diane Bresson was part of the Design Fresh ? a selection of new talent partly curated by Barbara Chandler and partly an edit of the graduate show New Designers. Diane’s colorful wallpaper fitted the general vibe of the show perfectly. “I am interested in the relation between craft and technology and in exploring how they can be combined together to create playful and dynamic patterns,” she says.
London-based Emma Chesterman (otherwise known as Dead Mary’s) designs “furniture for life” such as In Memory ? the chair bench combo above ? the chair is angled so the person sitting on it is turned towards their companion, creating a moment of relaxed intimacy.
The design of her Within Arms Reach table is simple and elegant too ? molded concrete bases provide stability to the delicate hand turned wooden tops.
Lucy Grainge was one of Barbara Chandler’s nominations, due to her colorful dyslexia-inspired work. Fabric banners and limited edition prints complement stencil-based risographs which are affordable and sustainable.
