London Design Festival 1 : Designersblock
London Design Festival
First held in 2003, the London Design Festival now includes more than 170 events across the city. Encompassing all the design disciplines, it incorporates everything from world-class showcases, exhibitions, talks, open studios and workshops. This year, the London Design Festival looks set to reach a critical mass, bringing together the many disparate starnds of the capital’s design scene under a single banner and finally providing the city with an event that does justice to one of its greatest, but least celebrated cultural assets. The London Design Festive 2005 aims to give everyone a chance to explore the phenomenal depth and diversity of creativity in the great city of London and experience the most exciting major international design centre in the world.

Designersblock
Venue : Nichols & Clarke Buildings, Shoreditch
Designersblock, the enfant terrible of design shows is back with its eight annual exhibition. Providing exciting environments in which to exhibit, it attracted young cutting-edge UK and international designers.
Many individuals launch their conceptual ideas within their walls, targeting industry and public figures looking for something quirky, unique or downright crazy.
The exhibits, which are housed in three buildings, are fun, buzzy, fresh, anti-corporate and youthful, and include everything from architecture, interiors and furniture to graphics, interactive design, lighting and web design.
