100% Norway turned nine this year, making it only a year younger than the London Design Festival itself. To celebrate, it moved to a shiny new venue, Dray Walk Gallery, just around the corner from Tent . The light-filled space was a perfect backdrop for the cool understated Scandinavian design. It was designed by Amy Hunting and Oscar Narud; described by curator Henrietta Thompson as “two of the most innovative and capable young Norwegian designers in London.” These Turn lights by Caroline Olsson are made from made of birch and hand blown glass

A small section of 100% Design was dedicated to Emerging Brands. Here are my top five… Craig Foster’s Kurk Lamp was inspired by taking lamps apart and realizing how many unnecessary components and materials are used – the average was 30. He said: “The aim of Kurk was to use the minimum number of parts, without compromising on the personality and character of the product.” Launched at Clerkenwell Design Week in May, these handy shelves are designed by Arthur Analts as a place to empty your pockets when you come in the front door, making sure you don’t lose things like keys and change before you come to leave again

If there was a “man of the match” for the London Design Festival , I think David Irwin would be it – his name just seemed to pop up everywhere. He had his own stand within 100% Design’s Emerging Designers section and his products also featured on Deadgood’s stand and on the Designers In Residence stand at designjunction . Everywhere I turned – there he was, and with good reason.

Kitara is a coffee table from Ukrainian-based designer and digital artist, Max Ptk . Sitting on an A-frame structure, the double layered table combines geometric lines with simple materials, all with a pop of bright yellow thrown in for good measure. Made with only a few parts that assemble easily, the sleek table mixes the natural wood with the painted to form the frame, both of which contrast well with the shiny white glass used for the tabletops.
