Clerkenwell Design Week: Order of St John’s- 05.24.12
The latest from London-based editor, Justine Aw. Today she caught up with the action at Clerkenwell Design Week 2012.
Clerkenwell Design Week always amazes me with its beautiful and unusual venues throughout East London that provide beautiful backdrops for design. In addition to the stunning Farmiloe building and House of Detention. This year, CDW have added a third gorgeous and unexpected venue, the stunning Order of St. John. The order has been taken over by CDW to create two gorgeous gallery spaces, one light, airy and very bright space and a more mysterious, but equally stunning crypt! More photos of this gorgeous space and the beautiful furniture it showcases on the next page.
The vast, bright and chandelier filled space upstairs shows off the collections of Zanotta, Aberrant Architecture, Karndean Designflooring, Rabih Hage, SplinterWorks and Vessel.
The crypt below houses “Searching for Cassiopeia”, a limited edition collection of 12 concept chairs designed by Fabrica for the Italian Chair District.
