kalkulium suite by eduardo paolozzi, 1971

heartsease by edward bawden, 1952

an amazing eclectic collection of designs and illustrations on show at the wedgwood museum.  documenting the history of wedgwood from its founding in 1759 by josiah wedgwood, a true innovator who's pioneering techniques are still employed today.  all the designs are documented right up to current collections and my favourite are pictured above, particularly the eduardo paolozzi and victor skellern designs. 

everything selfridges

the very next museum of everything exhibition 4 infiltrated selfridges, windows and all.  full of eclectic choices as it should be, walls were packed with all kinds of amazing artworks.  my favourite pieces in above order; painting/doodle/mark marking by shunji yamagiwa, cardboard construction by hans joerg georgi, model making by roland kappel, architectural window installations by stefan häfner and beautiful repetition and typography by kunizo matsumoto. brilliant.
