On my trip around East London for London Design Festival, I made it to Matilda, an exhibition of 13 Australian and New Zealand designers brought together especially for the festival. The group exhibition - backed by venture-capitalist-with-foresight Damon Reeve - puts the Antipodeans squarely on the design map, and will hopefully find a permanent home in London to expand to 30 designers in time for next year's LDF.
Maybe it's something to do with the sunny climes and the laid back lifestyle that we attribute to the Aussies, but the whole vibe at Matilda was a happy, colourful one. From the bright-but-delicate lamp from Marc Pascal (above) to the cheery (and deliciously tactile) Husque bowls (below) to the amazing orange wire stools by Brian Steendyk that I now have a serious crush on, I felt like anything from here would make my home just that little bit more cheerful.
