This year, London Design Festival celebrates its 22nd anniversary. Since its initiation, the Festival’s vision has been to celebrate and promote London as the design capital of the world. This citywide exhibition of design in its broadest scope features several large-scale public installations.
Large-scale landmark projects this year include Vert in the Parade Ground at Chelsea College of Art, a biodegradable net supported by an oak frame planted with a living ecosystem of around 20 different plant species. This calming, sheltered space will also support local biodiversity.
Duo at the Royal Naval College’s Painted Hall will be a suspended installation with an interconnected mechanical system; strategically-placed sensors and magnets create an interactive experience where the presence of the viewer alters the rhythm and motion, bringing them into the work.
These, and many of the other projects and installations, are free to attend.
