Xavier Llarch Font and Carolina Caicedo
Xavier Llarch Font and Carolina Caicedo make up two-thirds of London based design practice, The Decorators. The Decorators work at the scale of the neighbourhood to design, produce and deliver placemaking and community building interventions in the public realm. Working mainly in areas undergoing change, their expertise lies in designing (infra) structures that connect people and place by building from the local. Their projects aim to co-create new civic opportunities in the public realm by celebrating what is already there. The Decorators are multidisciplinary in formation, Carolina has a BSc in psychology from the University of Bristol and Xavier trained as a spatial designer Elisava School of Design and Engineering. Both have an MA in Narrative Environments from Central Saint Martins. Relevant projects include Ridley’s Restaurant (2011), Cottrell House Enterprise Space (2012), Chrisp Street On Air (2014) Hackney Circle (2014), with clients that include local authorities across London, the Agency of Environment of Brussels and the V&A Museum. The Decorators are part of the Specialist Assistance Team for the Greater London Authority, acting as consultants on community capacity and cultural curation.
