Westfield Car Boot Fair & Designer's Block


Lucy Heale, our design guru, will be reporting on some exclusive events at this week's London Design Week. Yesterday, she headed to the Car Boot Fair at Westfield and Designers Block.

Lucy:"The Car Boot Fair has a great interactive stand from Whistles, which took the 'whistle' concept to the full! You can choose a whistle from the back of the boot and if it doesn't make a sound once you blow it, you get chance to try the lucky dip". The Car Boot Fair displays a range of highstreet and up and coming designers, and had an seating area, fronted by a sign saying 'Bloggers Only'.
I predict that Designers Black on the other hand is going to be one of the best shows at London Design Week. They've bought together a range of young product designers and installation pieces. There were some great products and ideas that could be applied to events such as www.theideamonster.com which displayed an electronic portrait sketcher.
The best use of innovative new materials would go to www.faymccaul.com, who showed some beautiful UV lighting (see pic).
