wish list from the wish list

I am quite late since LDF was about 2 weeks ago, but I still want to share my favourites. At V&A there was this exhibition called The Wish List. Sir Terennce Conran asked ten leading designers to come up with their wish, an object that they had always wanted but never found. The project marries the excitement of design with the skill and challenge of making. It embraces traditional craft and woodworking but also pushes the boundaries of what it it possible to do with wood - in this case American hardwood.
