A RICH canvas of designers will be involved in a show by V&A Dundee as part of the London Design Festival.

The Scottish designers will be part of Northern Lights — a showcase of the work of Scottish designers who have chosen to stay in Scotland to build their careers.

The products on show range from hand-crafted wooden furniture bent by steam to ceramic jewellery and sustainable fashion, reflecting the bold confidence of the current Scottish design scene.

Beth Lamont, one of the artists chosen, said: “Being selected by V&A Dundee for Northern Lights is a huge honour.

“Dundee was my home for four years while I studied design at university and from a very young age I fell in love with the magic of the V&A, so being a part of this milestone in Scottish design is beyond what I could have imagined for my small business.”

The London Design Festival runs from Saturday September 17 to Sunday September 25.
