The Branding Lab sets up an inter-disciplinary forum which brings together design students and recent graduates with shopowners from High Road Leyton. Waltham Forest Council has made generous funds available to enhance the prospects for independent retailers whilst giving students and graduates an opportunity to see their designs realised in real life, working alongside the High Road Leyton design team at Jan Kattein Architects, specialist contractors and local stakeholders. A design competition intended to identify some of the most aspirational young designers is being launched today at www.brandinglab.co.uk.
