Designersblock 21st of September.
The Nicholls and Clarke Buildings on Shoreditch High Street played host to the design event of the year, Designersblock. It is essentially a chance for both artistic and product designers to join hands and showcase their efforts in a weeklong exhibition.
With over 50 artists and designers taking part, the event is no doubt a rare chance for people like myself to come in a take a look at what the creative industry has planned next for the world, “Designersblock provides a high profile and respected platform from which to promote design products and services to an international and UK audience.” If you manage to present your work in one of these shows the future can only look hopeful. It is a great opportunity whether you are a graduate straight out of University or a full time designer.
The organisers Rory Dodd and Piers Roberts are certainly on to big things, and though both always look like they are having fun at each event, there is no question of the hard work that must go into preparing for this international show. After the English Shows are complete they then pack everything away and fly to Japan for the next in the line of shows.
With such entries as Peter Brueggers Erotic Wallpaper, RazonLabs laser cutting and engraving, Donna Wilsons interesting bag designs and Designers are Wankers, Oculas Pods, the event was set to be an eye opening occasion.
I can’t wait for next year to see what else the design world has in store.
