London - Clerkenwell design week 2014

Clerkenwell design week 2014 London

All right so it's time for the second part of my London adventures - The details of Clerkenwell design week 2014. I know, it took me more than it should to post it, but it's all because I was very carefully going trough thousands of photos to choose the best ones for you! Ok, ok you caught me, I've been also very busy these days, but better late than never, right? 
Before I show you some of my favorite finds from the exhibition, let me tell you a little bit more about the show. Clerkenwell is a truly cool place to be, thanks to it's location,  independence and atmosphere. Featuring four main exhibitions in the historical buildings and over sixty international showrooms, there was no way to get bored! On the first day, together with lovely Geraldine Tan, we had explored the Design Factory located in the former merchant's warehouse, the exhibition in the Victorian prison catacombs, and the venue in the church crypt. On the second day I visited most of the showrooms, attended a couple of design talks and met a lot more fantastic people. So here are some o my favorite picks from the visit in Clerkenwell. Get ready for a photo overdose!

    1. Świetny pomysł! W Twoim wydaniu sznurki na pewno byłyby w kolorach black & white, zgadłam? :))) Właśnie przed sekundką wysłałam Ci maila :)
