Today marks the start of the London Design Festival. Our Editorial Director Karen McCartney is there, hunting down the best in international creativity and trying to find a decent coffee. We'll post her updates from time to time, plus a full report when she's back, but for a constant feed of her latest and greatest finds, follow her on twitter (@karenmccartney) or on Instagram (mccartneyk).

The rest of us will be here, in the office, at our computers, eating at our desks, not feeling envious at all...
