Back in London, Ladbroke Hall – the arts and social club in Notting Hill – is set to reveal the latest addition to its cultural offering, with a landscaped garden, spanning 12,500 square feet, envisioned by 2014 Chelsea Flower Show winner Luciano Giubbilei. Opening to the public as summer begins, the landscaped design, featuring bamboo, acers, maple trees and hydrangeas, will also be home to a Jean Prouvé-designed private dining space and outdoor restaurant.
Coinciding with the opening of its garden on 16 May, Ladbroke Hall also presents a group exhibition spanning spaces inside and out, MONUMENTAL, exploring the theme of scale in historical design. At the Carpenters Workshop Gallery, a new iteration of Yinka Shonibare’s CBE RA, Windy Chair, will be on view, originally commissioned in 2014 for Design Miami, Windy Chair is a limited-edition series, connected to the Wind Sculptures series, mimicking fabric caught in the wind. And you’ll also be able to see a new body of work by the Australian artist, Charles Trevelyan.
Now we just need the weather to comply.
