London Design Festival 2014: in pictures

At its Brompton showroom, Cassina presented 'Charlotte Perriand: An Icon of Modernity'. Pieces include a special limited edition of the iconic 'LC4 CP' chaise longue designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand. Photography: Daniel Burman

Displayed within a neon Plexiglas structure illuminated from below by LED lights, this 'LC4 CP' tribute piece was inspired by a renowned photograph of Perriand relaxing on one of the first models of the chaise longue. The limited edition mattress is made from a natural cow hide leather with a contrasting dark brown saddle leather on the foot and headrest. Photography: Daniel Burman

Swiss/Argentinian designer Alfredo Häberli is celebrating the launch of his new knitted textiles for Kvadrat with a show at the Danish brand’s London store. At the far end of the showroom spread across an entire wall, Häberli has created an oversized floor to ceiling moodboard that spans 3 floors and includes furniture as well as fabric samples

Called ‘DIS-PLAY’ the show brings together a series of moodboards collated by Häberli that capture his creative process. The launch is Häberli's third textile collection for Kvadrat and takes its design cues from details found in a floral Japanese picture and clusters of stars

For ‘A Place Called Home’ - this year’s London Design Festival Landmark Project in Trafalgar Square - four design studios were asked to create their own shed-sized interpretation of home. Jasper Morrison’s humorous design, based on a pigeon fancier’s house -  ‘Because who else would choose to live in the middle of Trafalgar Square?’ he mused – was completed in the designer’s typically understated style and furnished with a selection of his iconic designs.

The Aram Gallery’s show ‘Future Stars?’ showcases the work of seven emerging designers including RCA graduate James Shaw, who presented pieces from his latest project ‘Plastic Baroque’. Using a handheld tool for extruding recycled thermoplastics that he invented himself, Shaw was able to create hand-formed plastic furniture with unusual, soft-looking structures.

Also at ‘Future Stars?’, Kim Thome’s ‘Layer Screens’ are made by sandwiching diffusion lighting gels – typically used to filter artificial lighting - in between two panes of glass supported by a bespoke wooden frame. Cut into a squares and rectangles, Thome has cleverly arranged the gels into a multicoloured grid of varying hues, opacities and saturations that beautifully filter the daylight.

‘Cat Fight’ is the newest work in the collection. Musing on the inspiration for the collections, Job Smeets says: ‘To a certain level, I believe, cats are autistic. They can’t really understand people’s emotions and can be quite ruthless. They kill birds, butterflies, mice and sometimes a mole, then they come home and sleep in our bed. Some say that cats are closely related to humans. Do they have a point?’ We’ll leave you to decide. Courtesy of Carpenters Workshop Gallery

Product designer Felix de Pass, graphic designer Michael Montgomery and ceramicist Ian McIntyre joined forces to create Candela, a spinning disk that illuminates the dark Tapestry Gallery at the V&A. Commissioned by Officine Panerai, the disk’s surface is made from superluminova, the material used to illuminate watch faces. Over 700 LEDs make the superluminova glow in a variety of patterns as it rotates, casting a soft glow over the space. Photography: Ed Reeve

Michael Anastassiades has teamed up with Flos to present 'Ama', a lighting installation at the V&A, made by mouth-blown opaline spheres and brass. It gives a nod to the ‘pearl diving mermaids of Japan’. Photography: Ed Reeve

Established & Sons is turning ten, and for the occasion Italian design duo Formafantasma created five different interpretations of timekeeping

Left: The 'Pendulum' clock is made up of a long, brass rod with a small brush on its end suspended from the ceiling. It swings back and forth over an arched brass strip, the bristles polishing it as it moves. Right: The 'Fan' clock, meanwhile, comprises a brass disc that gradually unfolds over the space of five minutes, forming a full circle before snapping back shut

Spread over four floors of a modern townhouse in Shoreditch, Minimalux's exhibition showcases its entire portfolio of products including a number of new designs. Among the new launches is 'Neon', a cuboid-shaped table lamp made from a folded sheet of brightly-coloured metal. Light from an energy-saving lightbulb concealed within the metal box escapes through slim linear openings that trace the form of the lamp with strips of bright colour
