Podge 2013 gallery: Are you in our party pics from the day?
The great and good of the design industry descended on the Institute of Directors in London on Friday (20 September) for the 19th annual Podge Lunch.
Podge founder Phil Jones said: "WOW, 19 years and counting. Hard to believe the first Podge lunch was in 1994 with legends like Marcelo Minale, Erik Spiekermann and Alan Fletcher in the room and 19 years on the room was again filled with legends as well as many up and coming designers.
"It was a really fantastic day at the IoD on Pall Mall with 250 guests and a great theme created by Holmes & Marchant based around The People’s Republic of Podge. Comrades Vaughan, Farrow, Fitch, etc etc were enjoying the superb food being served up by IoD award winning chef Roger Evans.
"2014 will see us celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Podge lunch and creative ideas from guests over the last 20 years are very welcome. Send them to phil@philjones.co.uk and we can start making plans."
Photographer Jonathan Cole was on hand to capture this year's action. Here are some of his snaps from the day...
