The city is about
to look even
more stylish than
usual because
the London Design
Festival is taking over.

pop up around town
DESIGNJUNCTION
If you only have time for one
stop during the festival,
DesignJunction at The Sorting
Office in Holborn covers a
lot of bases: more than 180
international brands will take
over its four floors,selling
everything from Alessi tableware
to Magma books. Transport for
London will be flogging enamel
bus-stop flags and Underground-
inspired lighting,and running
a restaurant decked out in
vintage TfL fabrics,so you can
recreate the experience of a
kebab guzzled on a night bus in a
civilised setting (and with better
food). Time Out readers can
purchase two-for-one tickets via
www.thedesignjunction.co.uk
with the code TIMEOUT241.

‘APLACECALLEDHOME’
Since 2007,the festival has commissioned a
series of Landmark Projects – grand designs
that pop up in public places. This year,four
designers build their interpretations of ‘A
Place Called Home’ in Trafalgar Square. Jasper
Morrison presents an ordered interior in his
pigeon-fancier’s house: ‘Because who else would
choose to live in the middle of Trafalgar Square?’
Raw Edges get creative with very little space:
their home requires the occupier to turn a handle
to transform the living room into a bedroom,a
kitchen and then a bathroom. Pretty nifty.

‘THEFIRSTLAWOFKIPPLE’
Minimalists,look away now. Artist Dan Tobin
Smith has filled his Haggerston studio with a
rainbow of rubbish: useless stuff sent in by
the public that he has arranged by colour. One
contributor had collected every ticket from every
public transport journey they took between 1955
and 1988. And you thought you were a hoarder.
Funthyme Supperclub is running two events there
(£75). The menu is the antithesis of the jumble
below the tables,its elements stated succinctly
as ‘Lobster,parsley,rose veal #1,rose veal #2,
banana.’ How’s that for a palate-cleanser?
