That's the slogan for this year's London Design Festival, which starts today - a celebration of creative London, with a cornucopia of activities, talks, installations and displays around the city, until 22 September. The Victoria and Albert Museum is a hub for the festival - see the V&A festival site for a listing of events. Most are free, either drop-in events or installations around the galleries.

There are hundreds of events around the city during the festival - for details, see the main design festival site.

Oki Naganode, above and left, was made by V&A resident artist Julia Lohmann as part of her Department of Seaweed. She used Naga Kombu, a type of Japanese seaweed, which she stretched over a frame made from cane.
