review :: london design in may

Katie, May 30, 2013June 16, 2020
This article was published 13 years

There is so much design in London this month, I decided to publish my second Design Review – this time it’s twice as long at 16 pages and covers Pulse, The May Design Series and Clerkenwell Design Week. Enjoy!


I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback in the comments section below… Do you enjoy reading about design events in this format as well as on the blog? Should it longer or shorter? What sort of content would you like to see? Would you be interested in a printed version?

    Oh my goodness, this is amazing. As you know I wasn’t able to attend so to be able to read all about it in this great format is just brilliant. I think I would prefer to read about events in this format as it can sometimes get a bit much having to read numerous blog posts over a prolonged period of time. It looks impressive and professional too!

      Thanks Stacey! I was actually going to send you the link today, because I knew you’d missed it and would want to catch up, but you beat me to it! Glad you enjoyed it – and thanks so much for the feedback. KT x

    Well done Katie, it looks fabulous and I agree with Stacey’s comments – it’s a nice format for this type of thing. As someone who has also been out and about visiting a few events this month I honestly don’t know how you found time to put it together on top of everything else you’ve been up to!!

    Donna Bates’ Parlour Lights were my favourite thing at Clerkenwell too. x
