Rainy Day Art in London

On my way to Iknit (on a typical grey drizzly day) I was stopped in my tracks by the beautiful art installation of umbrellas suspended outside the Channel 4 offices on Horseferry Road, London. The vibrant colours and geometric shapes of these lost and found umbrellas gave the overall form a soft balloon-like appearance as though the entire structure would float away at any moment. I love Channel 4's whole idents series - the way their '4' logo gradually reveals itself to you as you are taken on a magical journey of perspective around a larger than life everyday structures.
