I visited the Heatherwick Studio exhibition a couple of days ago. It is currently being displayed at the V&A Museum. At the entrance of the Museum there is an installation, made with upside-down traffic cones that are painted white.

This is the first major solo exhibition celebrating the work of one of Britain's most inventive design studios. Heatherwick Studio was established by Thomas Heatherwick in 1994. Their work ranges from a variety of disciplines including architecture, engineering, sculptures, furniture, product design and urban planning.
The exhibition is located in the main atrium. It displays over 150 objects, from small projects such as Christmas cards to large projects such as the urban planning proposal for London's
Royal Docks.
The space in which the exhibition is displayed seemed initially small, but surprisingly I spent 2 hours in this exhibition. The projects were so interesting and some of them were just amazing. Even the smaller items were very interesting in structure and material. I enjoyed the experience and the whole exhibition was very inspiring to me.

The "Bleigiessen" installation looked amazing. It is one of my favorite projects. There was a little screen on which they showed how to mold lead. Actually, these screens were all over the exhibition showing the process of the project and the material used.
