These cards were sold for many years by The Conran Shop, and now there is a wide selection for sale on this website. Some of the images have sold into thousands.

EXHIBITIONS

2020 VISION in September 2014 at Earls Court exhibition hall celebrated 20 years of 100% Design, a leading design show within the London Design Festival. Barbara Chandler selected 20 designers who had shown at 100% Design over the years, from all periods of the show, and photographed each one in a way that reflects their work and surroundings. The photographs were on display at the show, each with accompanying text written by Barbara.

JOY OF DESIGN was a show of close-on 70 photographs at designjunction, one of the four major events of the London Design Festival in September 2013. Joy of Design featured designers and design personalities – some big names, some relatively unknown – which Barbara Chandler had photographed over many years in the course of her work as a specialist design writer for publications such as the London Evening Standard.
