Max Lamb working on the HSBC commission
Casting part of the HSBC central office, he'll then carve a bench from it

New pictures of Max Lamb at the HSBC central office at 78 St James' St, London, casting part of the building to create his commission for the London Design Festival installation at the V&A. Inspired by the museum's famous Cast Court collection, Lamb proposes to create a cast replica of part of the building, which he will then hand carve using a hammer and chisel into the shape of a bench, creating a place for people visiting the museum to sit and connect with each other.

I love the textile field, especially after walking and standing 4 hours in the V&A. I'd love to see it stay, and possibly with a few more vibrant colours added to the palette. Mian

I went to John Pawson's exhibition at Design museum last year.
His sophisticated works were very impressive and inspiring.
I am looking forward to seeing this installation very much.

I like it very much!
It is much easier to find an exact place and information.
I will surely use this calendar for LDF this year!

It collaborated very well with installantion of Ron Arad called curtain call at Roundhouse.

I love this calendar - it's really comprehensive and completely relevant. It's the first place I go when looking for something to do at the weekend. Thanks LDF!
