September might spell the end of summer, but there’s still plenty to look forward to. With that said, what better time to launch our new series The TMH Edit: a refined guide to cultural happenings for the month ahead. We’ll be handpicking five design-led things to put into your diaries that will keep you busy, enlightened and fulfilled. September’s highlights include a contemporary interior design exhibition, a new restaurant-cum-performance space and an architecture tome about the best buildings that never were.

No. 43 by Atelier LK
Ruby Kean and Lisa Jones share many things in common: a background in curation and interiors, a love of modernism and Atelier LK, their newly formed design studio. To celebrate its launch, the duo are hosting a pop-up exhibition featuring some of the most exciting furniture designers, artists and interior designers working in contemporary design today – from woodwork studio Grain & Knot to interior designer Fred Rigby and ceramicist Abid Javid. Beautiful objects and art can be bought from the show, which takes place in Dalston, at the former home of artist and dancer Ron Hitchens (whose work is also on display). No. 43 is on until Monday 3 October and is by appointment only – book your slot now via Instagram.

Annie Morris: When a Happy Thing Falls at Yorkshire Sculpture Park
If you’re in Yorkshire between 25 September this year and 5 February 2022, pay a visit to Yorkshire Sculpture Park for Annie Morris: When a Happy Thing Falls. At first glance, her towering structures – the subject of her show – appear joyous and full of life. Yet despite the uplifting colours and playful shapes, Annie’s captivating sculptures are precariously balanced to evoke instability and fragility, inspired by the tragic death of her unborn child. The exhibition, which also features vibrant tapestries, has been curated to mirror Annie’s studio in Stoke Newington, north London – a wonderful opportunity to get a sense of the space of the contemporary artist.

Sessions Art Club
One of our favourite things is when the worlds of food and design come together in harmony, so it’s hardly surprisingly that we’re firm fans of the new restaurant-cum-performance space, Sessions Art Club. The brainchild of chef Florence Knight, artist Jonny Gent, St John co-founder Jon Spiteri and architect Russell Porter is set within a 18th century Grade II-listed former courthouse in Clerkenwell, central London – a beautiful backdrop to showcase its rotating collection of modern art that will change with the seasons. The food is equally exquisite, with seasonal small plates such as sea bream with fig leaf and sorrel and lamb sweetbreads with lettuce and lovage on the menu. Keep your eyes peeled for its curated collective programme that will reveal forthcoming events and exhibitions hosted here.

Unbuilt: Radical visions of a future than never arrived by Christopher Beanland
Le Corbusier, Rem Koolhaas, Frank Lloyd Wright and Zaha Hadid have designed some of the most celebrated architecture today – but what about their works that never quite made it? In his new book, Unbuilt: Radical visions of a future than never arrived, author Christopher Beanland profiles exciting architectural projects that, for one reason or another, were never completed. From London’s SkyCycle network to the Palace of Soviets in Moscow and an alternative Sydney Opera House, discover a plethora of boundary pushing ideas ahead of their time and designs that never left the drawing board – plus, the stories behind them. Available now.

Niwaki
Wander down Chiltern Street in central London from 16 September and you’ll find Niwaki at No. 38: a new store specialising in Japanese tools for the garden, workshop and home. It was founded by Jake Hobson, who trained in topiary in Japan, and stocks practical pieces with quality craftsmanship at their core: functional workwear, Bonsai and Ikebana tools, and utility knives, for example. Naturally, the products are made in Japan, predominately by artisan craftspeople. Along similar lines, the store has been designed by Jones Neville, the hands-on design duo with a primary focus on materials. In this instance, they have used Douglas Fir to evoke the feeling of quiet sophistication that Niwaki – which, in case you were wondering, is translated as “garden tree” – is known for.
