I was able to get a quick sneak peek into what’s coming up at Designersblock here in London’s Covent Garden Piazza starting tomorrow. I already mentioned Haidee Drew as one to watch, but here are some more, this time from South Korea. In recent years, Korea has transformed itself into a brand for itself, and these designers exhibiting at Designersblock tells exactly that story.

For instance, take a look at this Wine Speaker by Sante Kim. He used the top part of a wine bottle for the acoustics through glass, and coupled with the iron design to give it a new look. It’s not only creative, but also environmentally sound.

This is a simple lighting installation from the design team of Moonjung Kim and Sungsu Kang, collectively YLEM.

This X-ray Light by Wonsuk Cho uses X-ray film and lighting to display a different type of view from a “normal” light bulb. It almost turns lamps inside-out.

The next two are probably the most practical items that we would use. Ever had issues with dangling wires from your headset? This wire button will “organize” the wire for you so that you will never again be bothered by wires.

This I’ve Got Plastic Bags is a rubbish bin and a storage for your plastic bags all in one. Simply store your plastic bags at the bottom, then pull them out as needed. Sounds good to me.

Tomorrow, watch out for more reports from Designersblock and the opening of 100% Design!
