I was really impressed with the quality of work on show, especially after I seeing the work exhibited last year. I have to admit I was most impressed with the furniture pieces from a variety of universities, the standard of work was extremely hard - I was almost unable to believe that the designers had only just graduated.
After spending around 3 1/2 hours at New Designers, a small group of us decided to head to Hyde Park and the Serpentine's new summer pavilion. This years pavilion has been designed by Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA. If I am honest, I was a little disappointed with the pavilion as I purposely refrained from looking at any images of it prior to the visit. I felt that compared to previous pavilions this lacked something, it wasn't as architecturally pronounced as previous ones. Despite this I did appreciate the design of the pavilion and the use of light reflecting materials which helped to blend it with the surrounding park.
