Canadian High Commission, London

Celebrating the Queens 23,226 days as monarch or a staggering 63 years, it was great to see that the Canadian High Commission had picked this up as something to celebrate.  With such events being the kind of thing which we may never know again this was the only nod to this historic occasion which we could find here in the centre of it all.  If Simon Doonan had still been at Barney's we can imagine that he would have produced the most entertaining installation (albeit waspish) which we would have talked about for years.  Sadly no one else picked this up, so missed opportunity we guess but great to see Canada House have their fingers on the pulse of events.

It really is so refreshing to view Visual Merchandising techniques applied to non retail spaces.  VM of course can be seen everywhere we look (if we really look) and at the newly refurbished Canadian High Commission on Trafalgar square the team here have added a touch of fun and bags of personality.  Who knew such an institution would look so good?  Anyway, a great range of narratives based on some of the worlds best known inventions.  Who would have guest that the paint roller was invented by a Canadian?  Ever played Trivial Pursuit, then you guest it, invented by Canadians.  If you happen to be cabbing passed their building, do glance across and be amused and amazed.
