The annual London Design Festival (LDF) is back, celebrating the city as a design capital and drawing in Britain’s greatest thinkers, creators, retailers, and educators to deliver an unmissable celebration of design. Running until 24 September, it’s like fashion week for interiors, with inspiration abounding from the exhibitions, installations, and showrooms found around every corner of the city. After scouring this year’s London design scene, here are the not-to-be-missed highlights and emerging trends that designers and creatives from across the globe just can’t seem to get enough of.
A good starting point is Focus/23, with its packed calendar of workshops, masterclasses, launch parties, and talks – all held at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. This free design and decoration show is a first look into what we’ll be seeing in magazine pages and projects over the coming year. It should be on the radar of anyone who is interested in interiors.
