Dyslexic Design, is an exhibit of, in case you haven’t guessed, work from dyslexic designers. It opens in London September 22. Graphic designer Kristjana S Williams's piece Vestur Uglu London is one piece on display.
Tom Raffield/designjunction02No.1-Pendant-by-Tom-Raffield.jpg
London-based industrial designer Jim Rokos curated it in the hopes of getting other people to see what he already can: that people with dyslexia aren’t suffering from a so-called learning disability. Rather, they’re highly creative problem solvers who think in ways that make for killer designs. Another such example: Tom Raffield's chandelier that looks a bit like an atom.

Consider Vitamin studio’s Knot Lamp. The pendant hangs from a knotted cord, rather than metal brackets or screws.
Sebastian Bergne/designjunction04Egg-Decanter-by-Sebastian-Bergne.jpg
Or, take Sebastian Bergne’s tilted, oblong wine decanter. It looks like it might fall over. “Other designers wouldn’t dare to do this because they wouldn’t imagine it would work,” Rokos says.
