A discussion and talks about projects and ideas involving construction and habitation on water.

Farmiloe Building
This was my first visit to the Farmiloe building and its just bursting with character, I felt like I had stepped back into the Victorian era!
The building was just as interesting to explore as the products it was exhibiting and made a fabulous backdrop, modern design set against one of the finest examples of Victorian architecture. Apologies as my photos don't show how intriguing this building really is.

Lighting
The most popular trend in lighting design was lamps that looked like they were cut/crafted out of paper.

Around Clerkenwell
Order of St.John
This exhibition was held in the Priory Church and its crypt below.
The crypt with its gorgeous vaulted ceilings, stained glass and tombs was a surreal backdrop for luxury furniture.
