London is calling for Scottish designers

Spotlight to be on nine people who have chosen to build their careers north of the border

A group of Scottish designers represent the V&A Dundee at London Design Festival.

The work of nine designers who have chosen to stay in Scotland to build their careers will be in the spotlight as part of the event.

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

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

Scott Jarvie said: “London Design Festival will be the centre of the design universe in September, so I’m thrilled to be part of the V&A Dundee show, exhibiting alongside leading lights in contemporary Scottish design.”

Philip Long, director of V&A Dundee, said: “We are delighted with the calibre, ambition and volume of submissions we received to exhibit as part of Northern Lights.”

The show will run from Saturday 17 to Sunday 25 September in Gallery 55 at the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington.
