London Design Festival

A pair of GPS shows that show you the way home was our most popular story from the London Design Festival last week. See our ten most popular stories from the festival here.

We also recorded interviews with designers and curators across town and hosted a series of talks called Dezeen Live at 100% Design, including Yves Behar on how “Apple is actually a little bit behind" in software design.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our pop-up shops, and don't forget there are still a few days left to check out the Seven Designers for Seven Dials installations we curated and visit Dezeen Super Store in Covent Garden.

YO! Home at 100% Design

The YO! Home vision of a future family house where mechanised floors and furniture continually reconfigure the tiny space looks like too much bother for our readers. Read the story and comments »
