Possibly the most exciting, and certainly the most immediate installation at the London Design Festival was X3 at Super Brands London, by London-based branding and graphic design studio Creative Research and Development . They built a glass-walled workshop, equipped it with tools and materials and then challenged three furniture designers to each create a chair in just six hours. Sam Weller , Alex Hellum and Jack Smith were the designers to take up the challenge and put their skills on show for the gathering crowds. X1 was Sam Weller, who finished his chair just in time, putting the final wax on in the last few minutes. Sam has studied typography, industrial design and most recently product design at the RCA under Sebastian Wrong
