London Design Festival 2017
So there it was, another year of the London Design Festival that brought the city of London alive with design and events to mark all the creative people that call London home and for those that journey to this amazing city.
In its 15th year, the festival ran from the 16-24 September during which the city opens up its streets and venues to thousands of designers, organisations and companies to show their latest offerings or even how they go about creating their unique items.
The main trade shows and exhibitions during these nine days are 100% Design, London Design Fair and Design Junction.
100% Design
First stop this year was 100% Design which was held at London Olympia exhibition centre in Kensington, just down the road from the Design Museum and always a great space with plenty of light and room to move around.
The show caters to the design professionals within the industry and is divided into five sections: Emerging Brands, Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms, Design & Build, Workplace and finally Interiors.
Depending on which part of the creative industry you're in you may prefer certain sections to others. To be honest this year didn't seem as ground breaking as it has been in previous years, nothing revolutionary seemed to be on offer but it is always nice to walk around and see what brands are up to.
Design Junction
Next stop was Design Junction which was held in Kings Cross, where there seems to be a lot of development going on at the moment, enough so that Tom Dixon Studio will be moving to a new location in Kings Cross.
