PSYCHEDEL I - C - A

30 March 2011

William and Kate may be causing a stir when they come down the Mall but the ICA certainly put up some tough competition.

Alison Myners hit it off again - this time as chair of ICA - there were cushions, bicycles and lamps to acquire with many lucky people walking away with a winner. Tiffany acquired a fab lamp, a little risky, by Jack Strange.


Conclusion.... An adult version of a children’s party! Sublime!
