CDW16: Exploring Clerkenwell From top to bottom
before See the photo with a new layout "backbone" leading visitors Smithfield Market in southern Spa fields in the north (instead of the previous orientation about Farmiloe Building Clerkenwell), Clerkenwell design Week had a different atmosphere this year, but despite fears to the contrary, it was not necessarily a bad thing. A series of site-specific installations such as Hakfolly by Fleafolly Architects and Hakwood (above) delineated the new road. "One of the best things about Clerkenwell Design Week is to discover pockets of activity or events organized by local businesses scattered throughout the area," said Hikaru Nissanke of OMMX - the next architectural practice behind new layout. "Moving away from a centralized hub to a new spine entire length of Clerkenwell help you to knit together all these wonderfully diverse events and to develop the festival into something more coherent and inclusive."
the new road also felt more inclusive of a wider range of creative businesses that are based in Clerkenwell year with more architects per square meter than anywhere else in the world -. it there's a reason this corner of London gets its own festival. Transdisciplinary space 'Clerkenwell London' participated for the first time this year and fell in the deep end with a series of exhibitions and installations around the design theme defined - such exposure was the Fiera Edition, a selection of objects from the number 03 of Fiera Magazine that blur the boundaries of creative disciplines ( organized by our own Katie Treggiden - CW ).
Another such facility was a thing of Max Fraser. Former deputy director of the London Design Festival, and editor of the London Design Guide, asked 26 designers, design writers and entrepreneurs to name the only object that meant the most to them. These elements - largely 'undesigned' in the typical sense of the word - were presented in a glass room in the Clerkenwell area of London
In part of the British collection, a new. exhibition this year, coming designer based in London, Liam Treanor, launched its Lowick Side Table. Made of oak, ash or walnut, it has a shelf vegetable tanned leather designed to soften and develop a unique patina as it ages. The room is typical of discreet but carefully examined the work of Liam.
'CDW Presents' is the name given to specific facilities to the site throughout the show. Hakfolly and there was the future of design, educational and community project that gave 15 and 16 high school students the opportunity to design and build a pavilion in order to teach them practical skills and the encouraging to see a future in the design industry.
Before our Weekend Romanian design visit this week, it was interesting to see the Romanian brand Dizainar design with a range of ceramics as part of additions -. showcase festival of home accessories

Alf is a three-legged, and therefore not wobble chair for the contract market. Designed by the co-founders of Cornish MARK furniture manufacturer, John Miller and Anna Hart, it comes in a range of colors and is available with four legs or a stool.
new "backbone" of the Clerkenwell Design Week layout has sought to be more inclusive showrooms - and Great Sutton Street, home to many of them was animated with an ambiance of authentic celebration throughout the week. Desso carpet to the bathroom exhibition, I Curated a mini-exhibition featuring the work of designer / local decision makers inspired by my recent book Makers of East London. The exhibition included a wallpaper by hand by Daniel Heath, paper light sheets folded by hand by pliability and concrete bowls poured by hand by Katharina Eisenköck.
UK charity craft and Co-Working Space Craft Central is located in the heart of Clerkenwell. Each year they offer spaces "pop-up" to exciting new designers. Ted Jefferis is a Sussex-based furniture maker who lives in the forest "as a farmer living in the midst of his fields." Working mostly in wood and with a price Elle Decoration under his belt already, it is definitely "one to watch".
Finally, another CDW Presents installation, the Museum of Making, was organized by Pete Collard and designed by White Arkiteckter and presented an opportunity for visitors to try their hands on some trades and practices that make Clerkenwell is famous for, with workshops by the Goldsmiths Centre, Craft Central and Thomas.Matthews.
