The V&A have an exhibition of benches - Bench Years - as part of the 10th Anniversary London Design Festival, from today until a week on Sunday. The benches are in the John Madejski Garden and in no time at all, they were being well used by visitors to the Museum.Here is a series of pictures of the benches in use as well as a story about the one bench that hasn't made it into the exhibition. When we asked about it, the reason seemed to be a conflict between the exhibitor and the V&A.
