Somerset House plays host this month to the inaugural London Design Biennale, with designers from around the world taking over the building with strange and sublime installations. The theme is ‘Utopia by Design’ – encompassing, among other things, an evocation of Beirut streetlife, proposals for a floating city, and chairs shaped like the jaws of various marine animals, including a crocodile and a killer whale.
