Wrong for Hay
Branching out from its Scandinavian roots, furniture and accessories company Hay is launching a new sister brand, Wrong for Hay, in collaboration with Sebastian Wrong. Bringing a roster of brilliant designers on board, the ex-Established & Sons director will take over a Georgian townhouse in St James’s Park (and, even more promisingly, a café down the road) for the event. Read more about the brand in our October issue.

Linley
Under its new creative director Alexander Isaac, luxury British cabinetmaker Linley is embarking on a new direction, starting with a collection of contemporary furnishings by Simon Hasan. Called Graft, the collection puts a thoughtful new twist on marquetry, Linley’s celebrated forte.

Decode
Contemporary design and cocktails mix together quite nicely, as if we didn’t know that already. Making a point of the fact, this year Decode is taking up residence at the Looking Glass Cocktail Club on Hackney Road to create the Decode Bar & Showroom. New work from VW+BS, Samuel Wilkinson and others will be exhibited as an added bonus.

100% Design
Officially the UK’s largest design trade event, 100% can sometimes be hit and miss. A sure draw, however, will be the new range of brass, silver and gold vessels designed by Ottolenghi architect Alex Meitlis for Israeli company Hazorfim.

Endless Stair
The ‘Endless Stair’ installation, by London practice dRMM Architects, has scored an enviable home in front of the Tate Modern. The Escher-esque structure is made up of interlocking flights of stairs that – as the name suggests – can be endlessly reconfigured. Hailed as the landmark project of London Design Festival 2013, it is pioneering new uses for hardwood as the first architectural project of its kind in the world to use American tulipwood cross-laminated timber (CLT).
