Lucie Pritchard at Clerkenwell Design Week Market

The second ever Clerkenwell Design Week, a three-day programme of events including exhibitions, open studios, talks, workshops and product launches, had a refreshingly calm atmosphere after the intensity of Milan last month. One of WGSN-homebuildlife's favourite events was the CDW Market, a small craft market held in the square next to Clerkenwell Gate.

Our favourite stall was that of Lucie Pritchard, a London-based textile designer who creates linen pieces inspired by war diaries, letters and postcards (top image).


Zeena Shah's cute, kitsch animal-shaped cushions were on display in a number of shapes and colourways.
