100% Design



I must have been at the show for 4 to 5 hours. A huge number of ideas-triggers - very inspiring. Pictured are a chandelier coated with Japanese rice noodles (very glassy) by IDEA ; shoal of ceramic sardines chandelier by Scabetti; Orofors crystal LED chandelier by Zero - [note to myself: I've got all the information somewhere]. But lots more including Sharon Marston optical chandeliers and Bocci chandeliers. To follow up personally:


  • Vitrafoil - peel on glass printing
  • Magscapes - magnetic wallpaper (not terribly attractive but clever)
  • various stainless steel mesh suppliers
  • Vitrulan - fabric made of glass (amazing)
  • Material Works - unusual stuff
  • modulor - more unusual stuff
  • materials - stuff for designers

Then on to the Bombay Sapphire installation at the Trafalgar Hotel (disappointing) but I did at least then see the Alison Lapper plinth in the Square.
