Few pictures from the Pavillion of Art&Design London (PAD), modern design and art fair occupying for 5 days (12-16 October 2011) the whole of Berkeley Square, Mayfair.
The fair's website http://www.padlondon.net/ claims that "Once again Moët Hennessy sponsors the donation of a major piece of Design or Decorative Arts to the Victoria & Albert Museum as part of the Moët Hennessy-PAD London Prize". However, as it appears the prize has not been awarded this year, due to V&A's sudden decision to file for a divorce with PAD. Instead of accepting a piece chosen by PAD's judging panel, the museum preferred to receive plain cash (£20, 000) from the Outset Design Fund to make its own choice and purchase a new object.
Patrick Perrin, co-director of PAD, reported the judging committee of the prize chaired by architect and designer Nigel Coates to be "very upset".
