BADGE OF HONOUR

The iconic Isokon building in Hampstead is receiving a Blue Plaque, the symbol English Heritage bestows upon London buildings that once housed a person of note. Designed in 1934 by architect Wells Coates as an experiment in communal living, the flats have since been lived in by various luminaries, including the three members of the Modernist design movement – architect Walter Gropius, designer Marcel Breuer and Bauhaus professor László Moholy-nagy – who will be honoured with the plaque. Although the flats are private – the penthouse is currently for sale via luxury estate agent The Modern House (themodernhouse.com) – you can visit the building’s gallery, which is exhibiting a retrospective of Moholy-nagy’s works until 28 October (isokongallery.co.uk).
