Design Week @ The London Design Festival
By Jo Phillips
Design Week is upon us once again and this year is bigger and better than ever with London separated into different Design Districts. You can marvel at the commercial to the conceptual, from the recognisable to the revolutionary, and from the subtle to the sensational last year attracted over 350,000 visitors from across the globe with international design exhibitions, events, installations and talks taking place across the capital .
So what kind of design can you expect to see this year ? During the Design Festival, you will encounter some of the finest examples of furniture, product, industrial, interiors, engineering, automotive, graphics, illustration, digital, interactive, branding, packaging, textiles, applied arts and craft. Designers, studios, manufacturers, theorists, academics, as well as nations bring their latest designs and concepts to the streets of London for nine days, challenging the status quo and proposing fresh approaches to the world around us. After all design is everywhere and is core to our everyday lives .
We @.Cent will be visiting many of the exhibitions and events over the next nine days and bringing you daily reports on what is hot right now so keep checking in with us @ .Cent daily from the 13th September .
