The entrance will celebrate the resilience of the design community, sharing Jordan and Russell’s passionate eye for colour.
“Our work as interior designers has crossed over different arenas and we are excited to partner with Lick in the arena of colour, a mutual passion”, say 2LG Studio’s Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead.
Tash Bradley, Director of Interior Design and Colour Psychologist at Lick added, “As industry leaders and artisans in colour, with a deep knowledge of colour psychology, we are thrilled to be partnering with 2LG Studio to create an immersive entrance that will celebrate the transformative power of colour and the visceral effect it has on our emotions.”
A central ethos of London Design Fair since its inception has been to nurture and promote emerging design talent. Fostering a new wave of designers and their work, whilst bringing them together with key buyers, designers, and enthusiasts. The newly introduced Togetherness Design Award sees London Design Fair collaborate with OYOY Living Design this year to support this.
The brief to new graduate designers exhibiting at the Fair is to design a product that can be used within the family home, that can grow with the family and be used in everyday life, using sustainable materials. The winning designer will have the opportunity to work with Danish brand OYOY Living Design, to refine, develop and manufacture their product. The finished product will be exclusively listed with the online retailer Glassette for three months.
The calibre of entries and their visions for a product were exceptionally high. London Design Fair are delighted to announce that the three finalists are Trix Newham at LUX Pottery, Jenna Gillinger and Fred Aslan. All the finalists will be exhibiting their work at the Fair this September in the Design Alumni Pavilion or British Craft Pavilion.
The finalists will unveil their prototypes in front of a judging panel at London Design Fair on Friday 22nd September. Judging the award and announcing the winner live at the Fair will be freelance writer and former Wallpaper* magazine editor TF Chan; Amy Frearson, a London-based journalist and editor-at-large for Dezeen, Lotte Fynboe, Creative Director and Founder of OYOY Living Design and Laura Jackson, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Glassette. Visitors are invited to take their seat in the theatre to see the presentations and winner announcements.
A comprehensive speaker programme at the LDNdesign Talks stage will offer a world-class platform for discussion with reflections from the perspective of established designers and rising stars alike.
Sessions include Lick & 2LG Studio discussing the power of colour and colour psychology within our homes, Interior Design Masters Finalist Frank Newbold talking sustainability in design and Paris-based Emilieu Studio in conversation about their award-winning project Ecole Camondo Mediterranee. Architonic and [D]arc Magazine will be bringing their expertise to the stage with exclusively curated sessions with leading designers and experts.
