LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL: EXHIBITION
Recently, I had the opportunity to lead a graduate show in collaboration with London Design Festival, Better Bankside, and Borough Yards.
This project was organised independently, outside of the university’s efforts. Together with four colleagues, I was sponsored by LDF to take part in London’s biggest design festival, where we had the chance to share our work with people from all over the world in the heart of London, at London Bridge.
The exhibition lasted nine days, and everything was arranged by our team. The experience taught us not only about the challenges of participating in such a large-scale festival but also about the administrative work behind organising and the importance of building connections. We worked closely with university technicians, estate managers, and insurance companies. The experience was not only successful but also a significant learning curve for us.
We came together under the brand Resolve Collective, a group of graduates showcasing five unique projects. At the heart of the concept was the Winter Hexagon, an asterism of six constellations, each anchored by its brightest star. Five represented us as designers, while Sirius, the brightest of all, symbolised the industry we are reaching for.
