work for the festival. Bespoke wall papers by artist Deborah Bowness
were featured alongside vintage chairs and plates decorated
by designer Lou Rota. Sinister black crows and unusual metal flowers

Deborah Bowness / London Design Festival 2006
Deborah Bowness has created a 14m long installation of 2d ‘room
sets’ directly alongside Caravan and, in her signature printed
wallpaper style, designed bespoke temporary signage for the shop.
The launch of the ‘Deborah Bowness at Caravan’ project
is to coincide with London Design Festival, September 2006, and
will put Old Spitalfields Market on the Icon Design Trail. The
signage will remain in place for the duration of the main building
works at Old Spitalfields Market.
All images displayed within the ‘2d roomsets’ are
available as 3.5m wallpaper drops from Caravan. With special thanks
to Ballymore Properties Ltd. and Trad scaffolding for facilitating
the project.
Caravan is working with Robert Cary-Williams in conjunction with
his show at the Royal Horticultural Halls, 11am, Tuesday 19th Sept
2006. Caravan will supply oversized black butterfly hairpieces
for the show and the shop’s signature large black crows will
be given to front row guests.
