DESIGN TRAIL HIGHLIGHTS:

BLENHEIM FORGE will be transforming their workshop to show the entire process that a knife goes through in its journey from raw steel to a finished blade. They will also be holding demonstrations of their forging and grinding processes at 5.30pm each day.

JAN HENDZEL STUDIO will present a brand new body of work ‘Textural explorations in British timber.’ The exhibition explores the sensory nature of baked and natural timbers within furniture. As part of the exhibit, they will premiere a series of short films that showcase their design philosophy and making process.

MANUFACTION debuts at LDF 2020, showcasing a range of prototypes resulting from bespoke residential projects under the brand IN-FILL. Each piece is an iteration from their practice that applies scalable and modular design principles with digital manufacturing processes to meet individual client requirements. They invite you to explore these prototypes and imagine how they can be customised and adapted to different spaces and situations.

OOOD Doors will open at their busy and vibrant workshop; home to an array of South London makers – including metalwork, CNC and digital manufacturing, furniture, resin casting, sculpture, carpentry and in-house projects. Alongside workshop tours and exhibitions from incredible local craftspeople, drop in to see the showcase of van conversions, and learn more about their self-build learning courses.
