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…

New Designer Natsko Seki London Limited Edition Print

I could stare at this print for hours after seeing it close up with the tiny detail each time I look there is something else to capture the eye. Only 50 so I had better get my skates on to order.
