A complete & short review of the best of London Design Festival 2015

London Design Festival 2015 ended yesterday. This year, BRABBU gave a special attention to Decorex, where we exhibited and to 100% Design, where our partner brands Delightfull and Boca do Lobo exhibited.

During London Design Festival 2015 we walked around the city, and the following design pieces, exhibitons or/and installations were some of the best that London gave to the design world this year.
