Temptation at London Design Festival is irresistible

The furniture and fittings on display at London Design Festival are so exquisite that it’s best to not bring too much money, unless you plan a specific purchase. Oh, and wear comfortable shoes.

MY advice for attending the London Design Festival has always been to don a pair of comfortable shoes and carry spares for when calves and toes ache. Next, minimise the collecting of samples and brochures, unless you want to add sore shoulders to sore feet.

Lighten the load further and leave your wallet at home, especially if you are easily seduced by beautiful design and always on the lookout for something new, unless you are intent on making a specific purchase. The temptation, this year, was irresistible.
