Last week I took some time out to visit the Super Contemporary Show down at the London Design Museum. The show is dedicated to celebrating the fearlessly progressive spirit of London’s greatest creative minds, past and present.
“London thinks, designs and makes like no other city; it creates and the world follows. A magnet for mavericks and freethinkers, London has nurtured a creative community that continues to rival all other design capitals.”
At the heart of the exhibition are fifteen commissions from some of London’s most dynamic creatives, as a group they demonstrate the diverse approaches to design in London:
Bus Shelter by David Adjaye. Gone with the Wind by Ron Arad. Listening Station by BarberOsgerby. Freedom Space by Neville Brody. Batterseum by Nigel Coates. Rain It In by Paul Cocksedge. London Transport by Tom Dixon. Horatio’s Garden by El Ultimo Grito with Urban Salon. Thames Pin by Kit Grover. Vision for the city of London by Zaha Hadid. K9 Post Office Kiosk by Industrial Facility. Lamp Post Chandelier by Thomas Heatherwick. KiosKiosk by Wayne Hemingway. Head to Toe by Ross Phillips. New London Rubbish Bin by Paul Smith.
I’ve put up a little flickr set here. It’s on until the 4th of October so be sure to get down.
I went to the Super Contemporary Exhibition last week and it was amazing. Especially enjoyed the work of Zaha Hadid and Nigel Coates, however, all the other artists displayed some really fantastic work. I would recommend going and also there is this ticket giveaway http://www.supercontemporary.co.uk/?s=ticket-giveaway – Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did
