Every time we called back into the office for a cuppa and a catch up Pinch’s stand, located in the Design Factory, was brought up by our excited colleagues. We loved the beautifully simple oak and walnut furniture teamed with white tiling and flashes of vibrant green and neon.\u00a0The texture added by the layered front panels of the wooden sideboards, which appeared as miniature doll-house pieces in the back cabinets, was a really interesting feature which was in keeping with the textured wood trend of many of the furniture pieces.<\/p>\n

Walking down the steps into the eerie holding cells of Clerkenwell\u2019s past prisoners, I didn’t quite know what to expect but I was blown away by the exhibits unique use of this historic building. Feeling more like a production than a showroom, the rustic brick coves created a maze-like set up allowing you to discover the hidden treasures of the fresh faced designers.<\/p>\n

The amazing lighting displays only added to the atmospheric feel, illuminating the dark dingy cells with spirals of light and colour. Rubertellidesign\u00a0used wrapped string and coloured lights to create these funky light features which resembled Spirograph’s\u00a0sophisticated grown up sister. Sarah Dehandschutter experimented with shape in these hanging lights to create a chic display that wouldn’t be out of place in any of London\u2019s coolest bars.<\/p>\n

The ironic use of apples in Dezeen’s display highlights how they have decided to go back to basics. Focusing on quality, Dezeen harked back to Clerkenwell’s illustrious clock making history with these traditional, elegant designs creating a style that is truly timeless.<\/p>\n
We found them in their pop-up shop located in the Design Factory, however, you can visit their showroom in Stoke Newington, north London or you can browse the cool collection on their website here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From colourful perspex tunnels to wonderful winding wood to\u00a0a rainbow of tiles and mirrors – these little treats for the eyes were dotted around the district creating an urban gallery on the streets of Clerkenwell. And yes, the beautiful sunshine was an added bonus!<\/p>\n
