The 10th edition of London Design Festival<\/a> started last week with a bang and today I am going to sharea the two biggest highlights at the Vitoria & Albert Musuem<\/a> – The Prism installation by Keiichi Matsuda<\/a> and the Mimicry Chairs by Nendo. To being with, let us take a look at the Prism. It was commissioned by Veuve Clicquot as part of the festival. Prism is a series of screens which presents an alternative view of London, exposing unseen data flows in the capital through a sculptural, immersive interface suspended in the Victoria & Albert museum’s uppermost cupola which is basically the highest point of the museum. Matsuda and his design team will giving a free talk at Hochhauser Auditorium, Sackler Centre on the 19th September 2012 at 1:00 p.m to discuss the concept and share their experince during the design process of this colorful installation.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The second biggest highlight is the Mimicry chairs installation by Japanese design studio Nendo<\/a>. The creative design studio has created a series of installations which are made from pressed and punched metal and lacquered white to create a haunted space. The series will be installed at different localtions of the musuem starting from the entrance lobby. The journey then carries on throughout the space – positioning the chairs in galleries, staircases and corridors. each design has been carefully created to reflect and ‘mimic’ the location in which it is placed – poetically communicating the relationship an object shares with its environment.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
