Our picks from Clerkenwell Design Week


 

 Art Director Linda Boyle picks her favorite pieces from this year's

Clerkenwell Design Week.



 The Swing Table 
My ultimate favorite from the show, why hasn't anyone thought of this before? Genius! 
A Geo lampshade and 8 hanging chairs are suspended from the four-poster
frame around a walnut table top.
This playful design delights and inspires and it makes vacuuming a breeze! 

Made to measure, 8 weeks lead time.
£6,895.00 (Outdoor version + £500)



  Riess Cooking Aromapots
Beautiful enamelware form Hastings based Dyke and Dean. 
Manufactured in Austria, designed by Dottings.
A new breed of high quality enamel cooking pots,
glossy in finish and unbelievable to hold.
I want one in EVERY size and colour!
From £110

Jielde Light
I loved it so much I bought the cream one!   The designs date back to 1940 where a French machinist was frustrated by the lack of heavy-duty task lamps for his work.
Cream lamp, Jielde Signal ZigZag 4 arm desk light from £290.00
Orange lamp, Jielde Signal Jielde Loft six arm floor light from £690.00  

Today Jielde lamps and pendants are still manufactured in Lyon (France) with their original craftsmanship techniques and are each numbered in order to remain exclusive and original.
