Origin London

I visited Origin in London a week or so ago and really enjoyed the new location in Spitalfields. A few designers that I had seen and heard of were there so I got a good chance to get a closer look!

Love love love this work by Momocreatura. The little axe earrings are my favourite but I love these rings too! A little dark but then aren't we all??

I have seen Jacqueline Cullen's work before and after a recent trip to Whitby I though only apt to mention her work. I love the modern use of a material that was traditionally used for mourning the dead.

Also love a bit of Laura Bennet, particularly as she makes containers/vessels aswell!

All together I was quite suprised at the cautiousness the show revealed in it's exhibiters this year, most work had been shown before or was of a traditional/commercial nature. I really hope to be at Origin myself one day, the atmosphere is electric!
