London Design Week is one of the key design events of 2024. Being held from March 11 to March 15, 2024, this show is set to be the center of creative ideas, inspiration, discussion, and insights. Located at the Design Centre in Chelsea Harbour, London, the show will be open for visitors from 10:00 to 18:00.
Design Directions
London Design Week highlights include collaborations with international tastemakers such as Bunny Williams with Paolo Moschino, Jennifer Manners with Salvesen Graham, Kit Kemp with GP & J Baker, and Giles Deacon with Sanderson Design Group.
There is a throwback with a Palm Beach design direction which showcases old-world charm mixed with a tropical feel. A connection to nature has been a recurring theme in design, but this season there is an enchanting twist with the aptly named Enchanted Isle design direction which showcases decorative and dreamlike fabrics and wallcoverings that take the eye on a journey to imaginary places.
Program
Each day will be full of events. More than 100 will be curated to engage, inform, and spark the imagination. For example, on March 11, 2024, the David Hunt Lighting team will welcome visitors to their showroom to present a new collection of lighting pieces. Attendees will have the chance to discover the story behind the 300-year-old heritage brand and its range of hand-crafted products. Another event that will take place on March 13 is the discussion between Flora Soames and Kathryn Ireland. They will reflect on the concept of home, and explore the people, places, and objects that have shaped their approach. The following day, on March 14, there will be a Quote & Curate session with Angela Murray that will focus on the merits of including art within interior design projects.
Besides the above-mentioned events, there will be more that will take place during the five days of the design show. There will be several free events in the Access All Areas schedule to enjoy in and around the showrooms, from hands-on demonstrations, meet the meet-the-designer sessions to the debut of creative collaborations.
