Clerkenwell Design Week 2015: Day Two
Zita Menyhart Studio kept things sleek with its monochrome collection of contemporary home accessories. Adding a modern twist to candle holders, jars and vases, the studio embodies cool.
The sustainable furniture by Reason Season Time has a rustic and industrial feel, with all of the pieces being handcrafted from solid reclaimed wood or metal. Each of the cabinets, shelves and desks are entirely unique.
The collaboration between Aleksandrina Rizona and Victoria Umansky for their Aleksa x Vicki collection oozes luxury. The high quality wooden stools emphasise surface texture, unusual design and the use of luxurious materials.

Bright Potato’s stool installation showed off its simple and clean designs with a bold collection of primary colours to brighten up the home.
Known for its innovative and fun furniture designs for our daily lives, DesignK’s objects blend together traditional and experimental design. The Tea For One Table collection provides the perfect solution for a coffee table, designed in the shape of an old-fashioned school stool. The Henry The Egg Cup designs are a playful nod towards King Henry VIII with the crowned top and beheading symbolism, and their Geometry Collection transforms the shape of an ordinary mug with a constructive style of patterns.
The Celebrate Wall created by Surface View is the interior design company’s latest large-scale project, adding a colourful mural to the outside of Platform. Each of the giant letters is cast against a cultural landscape to create the effect of a paper collage.
Clerkenwell Design Week’s Platform exhibition space welcomed a huge range of emerging designers, across various disciplines from glass and wood, to textiles. Showcasing the work of some of the world’s most exciting up-and-coming design talent, Platform once again used the unusual space of Clerkenwell’s old prison, known as the House of Detention. The venue’s own atmospheric architecture brought each of the design collections to life.
