Selfridges window displays are without doubt the Rolls Royce of window display culture - so it is a great honor for Designersblock to have been asked to commission some of their veterans to design seven windows of the legendary London department store - and even more so for the chosen designers! They were displayed during the London Design Festival and will continue to do so until 25. October 2008 on Duke Street.
The above four examples are the 1:1 scale model of the Concorde engine by PostlerFerguson (they bought the manuals for 5 quid on ebay!), Matthew Plummer Fernandez' Apifera (inspired by comparing the function of window displays to the art of attraction of flowers), (We)Make's Beryl & Friends recycled lamp shades and Toby Summerskill & Jim Rokos' Kaleidoscope. All of them truly mouth-watering installations that are certainly worth going to Oxford Street for.

It's always nice when we can generate some work and some exposure for people. It's an extension of the shows that we do and the designers have all done mighty fine jobs. Keep an eye on the KithKin window as it will develop over the next few weeks, and the window from Matthew Plummer-Fernandez will move when you look at it.
Enjoy
Best
