There is always something new to discover at the V&A and I found this installation particularly moving in its exploration of the importance of architecture to our sense of place.
Have you got plans for the Easter weekend? I suggest a day out in the charming West Sussex town of Arundel – antique shops, well preserved architecture and a whopping great castle.
This week I visited the latest exhibitions at the Crafts Council and The Design Museum. Both are fascinating, both are political and both are really worth a look.
Occasionally I highlight days out that I think you will enjoy. My latest suggestion is public art walk The Line in East London – a surprisingly lovely meander next to the River Lea with some thought provoking artworks thrown in.
Creative Folkestone Triennial is an exuberant exhibition of public artworks and it’s less than an hour from London. I was impressed, not only by the art, but the whole ethos of the project. If you fancy a day away from your design studio, hop on a train and head to the sea.
I am not a huge handbag fan. They are useful and I have a small selection suitable for different activities – work, holiday, evening – but I have never understood the desire for lavish, designer bags with ridiculously high price tags.
Fancy a day out? Jump in your car or hop on the train and head off for a lovely day in Rye. This picturesque little town boasts some really impressive interior design shops. So, whether you are shopping for yourself or sourcing pieces for a project it makes a fabulous day out.
