London Design Guide 2010 by Ami Kealoha
Just in time for visitors coming to London next week for the city's massive annual design event, the London Design Guide comprehensively lists the places, people and resources that celebrate design. The book organizes the destinations—boutiques, restaurants, hotels, galleries and more—by neighborhood, including a map of the locale and a local's narrative through it—naturally, all with a clean, well-designed layout.
Abetted by editorial features dishing on design trends among other topics and a resources section that wisely includes the excellent Athens-based design site (and CH friend) Yatzer, the guide is an essential for anyone exploring the London design scene. Pick up a copy (£10 in the U.K., £15 otherwise, shipping included) from the Design London site.

Seven Deadly Glasses
The Talent Zone at Tent during the London Design Festival was a rich source of creativity. After being wowed by Debbie Smyth's Pins and Thread installation, the nearby dramatically-titled Deadly Glasses caught our attention. The elaborate opulence of designer Kacper Hamilton's work directly contrasts the minimalism of Smyth's. His seven hand-blown red wine glasses were exhibited in and around a beautiful wooden box with...

Five Floor Lamps at the London Design Festival 2008
Ango: Ebony Sky Angus Hutcheson's Bankok-based studio produces beautifully minimal lighting designs inspired by natural forms. (Pictured at right.) We loved this arching lamp which uses silk cocoons for the shade and stainless steel for the base structure. Anna McConnell: Non-Standard Lamp There was quite a bit of anthropomorphic design going on at the festival including these characterful articulated lamps that we adored by...
