London Design Festival 2017: Highlights from the city?s annual design fair
In its 15th year, the English capital?s design fair steps up its game London Design Festival (LDF), like New York?s springtime Design Week, generally takes a backseat to Milan?s higher-trafficked annual bacchanal of all things design.
But this year?s LDF marked the city?s 15th edition?and as the fair approached its final weekend, it was clear that the English capital was working to stake a claim to thought-provoking, visually arresting, flat-out-fun design. Here, we take a look back at this year?s London Design Festival highlights.

A new guard of London designers united by their fearless approach to pattern and colour took center stage at London Design Festival this year. French by birth, but distinctly East London in spirit, Camille Walala created a pattern-covered bouncy castle in London's straight-laced Broadgate neighborhood. Covered in her unmistakable Walala graphics?a sort of modern day Memphis?the inflatable structure was one of the Festival's landmark installations.
