Continuing at the newly opened Plateaux Gallery is Furniture Incognito, an exhibition by three contemporary furniture designers. Caius Shaw displays his sloping writing desk and lamp, Andrea Nechels exhibits her table, which conceals two stools in a way which makes the piece look like a large cube, and Gitta Gschwendtner shows her chest of drawers. While you are there, visit the rest of the gallery for a range of glass, ceramics and metal. Until 25 May.

Venue: Plateaux Gallery, 1 Brewery Square, Tower Bridge Piazza, London SE1.

For those of you in Glasgow, pop along to the 1999 centre for the Designed to be Scene exhibition. The show coincides with the Mayfest, Glasgow’s annual festival of theatre, music and visual arts.

Models, costumes and other multimedia work will be on show by designers Jasper Conran and George Wylie and scenographers Bill Dudley and Pamela Howard. Until 3 May.
