The Designersblock exhibition that took place at The Piazza Covent Garden during the London Design Festival was the best Dblock show we have seen. The space was great and there was a huge variety of design over three floors, including some 100% Norway (some of the same pieces that were at Earl's Court) and the sensational freshness of the Seoul Designers Pavilion. We'll start with a taste: the Brilliant Wings installation by YLEM (Moonjung im & Sungsu Kang), a night sky full of birds that are really hands made out of sticky tape; intricate bespoke wallcoverings by Asma Hussain; a variety of pieces from DIDshow, Daegu University's Industrial Design department; and some Added Value porcelain. There was humour mixed with practicality abound, as shown by work from Eleanor Freya Gregory for KithKin Presents (the Chesterfold was a hit with the crowd) and Yookyung Shin & Younga Kim, who were ready to clean up.
