Mark Leib is back with his Part 02 roundup of the recent London Design Festival. Today he tells us about The Shoreditch Design Triangle, De La Espada at Tramshed, Ridley’s pop-up restaurant by The Decorators and Atelier ChanChan and Jean Prouvé by G-Star RAW for Vitra. Extreme love…

Hello y’all! We are super duper lucky to have a review of the recent London Design Festival by a dude who is now becoming our [unofficially] official first ever international correspondent – give it up for Mister… Maaaaaark Leeeeeeib!! [***insert sound of crowd going nuts here***] Some of you will recall Mark’s review of last year’s London Festival in Part 01 and Part 02 series. Mr Leib (or Libeskind as I like to call him) is an old colleague and a friend who creates magic as a senior designer at the fabulous Blacksheep studio in London. I featured some of their clever handi-work in this post. Huge thanks to Mark for his brilliant photos and for his effort to bring us this fantastic report despite his many deadlines. Everyone together now – We love your work, Mark…

Plantable is a handmade table by London-based JAILmake Studio (Liam Healy and Jamie Elliott) which will be on show at Designersblock during the upcoming London Design Week.

Designed to interact with nature, this table offers a place to plant flowers and/ or herbs at the base of each leg allowing the growing plants to climb and intertwine between the leg structure. Imagine planting some herbs, tomatoes and sweet peas, and only having to bend down slightly to pick them before preparing a meal…

Here we go with Part 02 of Mark Leib’s epic review of London Design Festival.

Today you can read about The Tramshed in Shoreditch, a new boutique and stylish venue, as well as Tent in Brick Lane which is dedicated to younger edgier designers and students.

Take it away Mark…
