London Design Week 2017

Well back to London for me..and i'm not complaining as London is officially one of my favourite places on the planet. This time I was visiting London Design Week held at the design centre, Chelsea Harbour. As a budding interior designer I am familiar with the design centre and many of the brands and designers available there. I thought a visit would benefit my knowledge of the design industry and also maybe offer some much needed creativity and inspiration for my last few months of college and project final. It was a little journey from Kings Cross..but any journey in London is filled with such interesting sights, sounds and goings on that the travelling is as very much a part of the experience, if not more so than, the arriving.

It wasn't quite what I had expected, but the building was definitely interesting, and also to see so many design names that I have only ever read about, under one roof was great. My highlight was going into 'The Original BTC' lighting shop. I did not realise until after my visit that there was a whole host of talks and workshops available covering interior design, to hand drawing, weaving to gin masterclass's. Oh well..i'll just have to go back again next year..darn.
