Every year, one of te highlights of the trade show are the installations commissioned specifically for the event. At the historic St John’s Gate, design and fabrication practice Aldworth James & Bond will create Order, a multi-dimensional structure using 145 Corian octagons. Meanwhile, a 7.5m-tall viewing platform called Beacon will draw people towards Spa Fields. Nearby, office specialist Buzzispace, will show a new concept: a playful, elevated workspace-cum-adult jungle gym by Belgian designer Jonas Van Put.
For seven years, the show has hosted brands that don’t have a permanent presence in Clerkenwell, including, this year, retailer John Lewis. Alongside with him, Vitra will show off its latest products within a ‘secret garden’ installation, while Carl Hansen & Søn will reveal its reissue of the PK1 chair by Poul Kjærholm for the first time in the UK.
Domus showroom will unveil both the LCS Ceramics Collection, developed in conjunction with Fondation Le Corbusier and based on the architect’s Polychromie Architecturale palette, and Kaza Weave, a 3D concrete tile by Stockholm-based Note Design Studio.
Bolon, the flooring company, will present its latest range, designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel. Over on Leather Lane, Pentagon Tiles will launch a new showroom. Also, local eatery Albion will get a makeover courtesy of Anglepoise and Ercol, both of which will be launching items to furnish the restaurant.
Regarding the usual talks, CDW’s main talks programme will take place at Design Fields, and feature designer Morag Myerscough, HS2 design-panel chair Sadie Morgan and architect Ben Adams, as well as discussions about future cities, flexible workspace and Brexit.
Moroso will also present a discussion with Doshi Levien, Ege will announce its new Atelier collection by Christian Lacroix with a talk by the fashion designer, and Milliken will host a conversation with Jay Osgerby and Crafts Council director Annie Warburton.
