Wattson with Greta Corke, DIY Kyoto, at Designers Block 2006

The Designers Block is in a series of derelict buildings on Shoreditch High Street in London yards away from corporate headquarters and finance activity of the City of London. Somehow the power always gets turned on for the show, and DIY Kyoto found a way to measure it as it comes into their stand with the amazing Wattson device that can tell you how much energy you are using and how much it is costing you. Sarah Rich covered the unveiling of the Wattson box in April at the Milan Designers Block, but I caught up with Greta Corke in London after a hard weekend in their justifiably mobbed stand.
