London Design Festival 2012: designjunction

London Design Festival 2012: designjunction

designjunction was one of the most exciting shows of London Design Festival. The venue alone was enough to look forward to. Built in the 1960s by the Ministry of Works as a Royal Mail Sorting Office, it became largest in the UK in the 90s before closing down. Since then it has been used for everything from an illegal rave in October 2010, to an Alexander McQueen fashion show earlier this year. The design had a lot to live up to. Luckily it didn't disappoint.
