More impressions from today's 100% Design in London. Again it was curated by Tom Dixon who himself showed more of his "shiny balls" and solid wooden chairs that he presented in Milan earlier this year. Also in the pictures above is the velcro lamp "Face to Face" by Luis Eslava for Almerich and the "Handjob" coathooks by Thelermont Hupton.

A thing difficult to capture by camera but still worth mentioning is the "The Good Design Manifesto", created by Richard Shed. It is a collection of 100 brief responses from industry experts to the question "What is good design?". Here some of the responses which are written on various walls of the 100% Design venue:

Makes ordinary people's life more meaningful. (Lavrans Lovrie, Livework) // Brings the intelligence of nature together with man's production capabilities. (Jonathan Prestwich) // Is finding new places where what we can dream meets what we can make happen. (John Miller and Anna Hart, Mark) // Is considerate and harmonious. (Paul Velentine, Smallpond) // Is sooo boring. We need GREAT design: Vision. Humanity. Sex. Death. Art. Love. (Richard Eisermann) // Is serious fun. (Nina Tolstrup) //
