Possibly the quirkiest coupling of this year’s London Design Festival is Partridge Fine Art’s hosting of Fuse UK: Partridge is an established dealer in sought-after antiques, Fuse UK a collective of young and emerging design talent. Imagine a model wearing a clear acrylic dress seated on a cardboard chair at a rare mahogany and ebony writing table boasting a Louis XVI ormolu-mounted white and black marble portico mantle clock... See what we mean?

Around 30 Fuse product designers will be exhibiting at Partridge. Their pieces range from very beautiful lampshades made of re-cycled card and a maple and cherry sideboard, to a chair that collects the cash that drops from your pockets and flying ducks.
