Creative Front Cambridgeshire is a UK-based business network for creative industries, based at Cambridge's Anglia Ruskin University. They've been selected by the UK's Design Council to kick off Design Icons, a series of national design events, this February.
The Design Icons Exhibition Launch Party is slated for February 9th and will celebrate local design talent, with pieces like Alex Driver and Carlos Peralta's Moss Table, above, which turns the moss in biophotovoltaic energy generators strong enough to power the table's lamp.
Nineteen other Cambridge-designed objects, ranging from housewares to medical devices to consumer electronics, will be on display. Click here for more information on the exhibit and see Creative Front Cambridgeshire's weekly schedule of design-, manufacturing- and business-related events.
