In a first for the London Design Festival, LDF’s 10 districts will this year each be celebrated with a distinctive sculptural waymarker.
AHEC has joined forces with furniture studio Benchmark and Sebastian Cox, selecting 10 student designers and recent graduates to create ‘Designposts’.
These public landmarks welcome visitors to each district while also expressing facets of the area’s unique character, culture and creative heritage
The designers have been selected from two of the city’s leading design schools: four from London Met picked by Peter Marigold; and six from the Bartlett chosen by Izaskun Chinchilla.
From a William Morris-inspired homage to the natural beauty of Walthamstow to a celebration of the Shoreditch streetscape, the red oak structures celebrate London, while giving the emerging design generation a high-profile platform to shine.
- Locations: Islington, King’s Cross, Mayfair, Southwark, Shoreditch, Park Royal, Clerkenwell, Walthamstow, Greenwich Peninsula, Brompton
