Clerkenwell Design Week

Last week Clerkenwell was buzzier than normal for their annual design week.  Filled with special attractions, activities and open studios as well as pop up shops and bars in the most unlikely of spots!

My favourite installation was the House of Detention.  An old Victorian prison where each dungeon was filled with a design exhibition.  The nature of the space meant that there were some extremely exciting ways of presenting artefacts and creating installations. I really enjoyed Bobby Petersen's Musical chairs, which allows people to sit together, talk and create their own instant and temporary musical piece.
