A joyful day at The Affordable Art Fair

A real treat for the eye and a great day out to browse art. Picking up a purchase to treasure and view is always a treat, if you didn't go in 2011. Pop in your diary for 2012 as it is definitely worth a visit as we really enjoyed our time.

V&A Museum - Love the idea of designer tours…

The V&A welcomes the London Design Festival a nine day festival that celebrates London as the creative capital of the world.
Love the idea of designer tours… you pick up a map at a museum entrance and use it to follow a tour created by a chosen personality and taking in their favourite objects. A great way to explore and see the museum in a new light – I shall be going and I will report back with my finds…

Max Lamb commission for the London Design Festival installation at the V&A

Max Lamb at the HSBC central office at 78 St James' St, London, casting part of the building to create his commission for the London Design Festival installation at the V&A. Inspired by the museum's famous Cast Court collection, Lamb proposes to create a cast replica of part of the building, which he will then hand carve using a hammer and chisel into the shape of a bench, creating a place for people visiting the museum to sit and connect with each other.www.maxlamb.org Photography by Santiago Posada View more images Max Lamb

Bombay Sapphire cocktails in designer cardboard Martini glasses anyone?

Designer in Resident Giles Miller has been commissioned by exclusive drinks brand Bombay Sapphire to create a batch of pulp Martini glasses for a late night event at the V&A next month. Think drinks party with a twist at the V&A Summer party where Giles will also design a ‘log cabin-esque’ cardboard encased bar from which the Bombay Sapphire cocktails will be served. Hopefully see you there on 30 July, Friday Late: V&A Summer Camp.
