channeling the work of one of uruguay’s most-renowned creatives, poet juana de ibarbourou inspires nine design studios who will each reimagine one of her poems for poetic forms: the work of uruguayan poet juana de ibarbourou.
curated by london-based uruguay and designer, matteo fogale, uruguay’s contemporary creative studios have distilled the work of ibarbourou into furniture, accessories and textiles in a celebration of the centenary of las lenguas de diamante, a book that catapulted juana de ibarbourou instantaneous success both nationally and internationally upon its publication in 1919.
las lenguas de diamante features a series of poems that celebrate the body and its relationship with nature, and each of the creatives has taken one or multiple poems as the starting point for their designs.

london design festival celebrates and promotes london as the design capital of the world. the festival returns to venues and institutes across the city from 14-22 september 2019.
[ the design districts ] are a key component of the festival makeup with each design district constituting a cluster of events within a short walking distance of each other, enabling visitors to navigate the 400 events and geography of the city.
a truly global affair, the london design fair 2018 will host a wealth of exhibitors from 36 countries. the largest international fair – taking place during the london design festival – prizes innovation, quality and diversity in design, and visitors can once more expect a first class show. with its highly curated elements and compelling editorial, the fair’s expressed intention is to heighten the visitor’s experience. the fair’s material of the year is plastic: hotly debated and very much a pressing concern, the emphasis is on finding new and better ways of using this contentious material.
the london design fair provides a valuable forum for showcasing international design and is proud to have 13 country pavilions at this year’s event, surpassing previous years. alongside the guest country japan, other pavilions include portugal, spain, italy, the netherlands, korea, sweden, denmark and finland. the british craft pavilion will make a welcome return, curated once again by hole & corner. each country pavilion has its own strong design narrative and mission, many of which were developed in conjunction with the fair’s team.
each year, over 28,000 influential retail buyers, producers, architects, designers, interior designers, press and design-savvy public, will attend to see the very latest in furniture, lighting, textiles, materials and conceptual installations, from all around the world. the forthcoming fair will again take place in the one and only old truman brewery, from 20th-23rd september 2018. it promises to be a memorable show.
netherlands design showcase dutch stuff is back for second edition.
following its debut in 2017, dutch stuff returns to london design fair at the old truman brewery in east london this september. whereas last year’s show was all about making a statement – exhibiting the work of more than 60 dutch collectives, studios and independent designers – this year’s offering is a more refined affair. by scaling the exhibitors back, the designs will be afforded space to breathe, and visitors will have more opportunity to explore the individual designers, products and ideas that are driving contemporary dutch design thinking forward.
dutch stuff is a deliberately eclectic, multi-disciplinary exhibition taking place against the raw industrial backdrop of the old truman brewery’s 600m2 top-floor gallery space. the show presents furniture, lighting, textiles, ceramics and category-defying sculptural objects and installations from the most innovative minds on the dutch design scene. the line-up includes both internationally known names and emerging talents, new experiments in materials and methods, collaborations and individual projects.
