12 exhibitions, events and installations to take in at London Design Festival 2019
As London Design Festival approaches, Dezeen's Jennifer Hahn picks the 12 highlights to see and do during the week-long event, from a circular bamboo nest by architect Kengo Kuma to grow-it-yourself couture.
Between the 14 and 22 September, the city's 11 design districts ? from Kensington in the west to the Shoreditch Design Triangle in the east ? will once again play host to more than 400 different events, exhibitions and installations.
Stand-out projects can be found in the oldest of the design districts in Brompton, as well as at the festival's home base in the V&A museum just around the corner. King's Cross is the latest district to be added to the city-wide celebration of design and the new home of Designjunction.
Here's our pick of the 12 must-see things to visit:
Crossovers
Spanning 11 collections, from 11 curators and taking in 11 countries ? this exhibition by digital gallery Adorno is a celebration of hyper-local design and craft culture.
It features collectible pieces by independent designers hailing from Adorno's native Denmark, alongside a line-up of nations as various as Mexico, Turkey and Iceland.
Among the pieces presented as part of the London Design Fair between 19 and 22 September will be phallic candle holders with fluorescent pubic hair by Swedish designer Ã…sa Jungnelius and a coral-looking sculpture made of popcorn trapped in porcelain by ceramicist Veera Kulju.
