What’s on at Clerkenwell Design Week?

Perhaps the most exciting element of CDW is the showrooms which provide the festival with an array of product launches, workshops, talks and parties which are held in some of the country’s most inspiring commercial spaces.

This year we can expect an exclusive show room from Sven Christiansen, in conjunction with Arlico, who will be able to assist all those who may have been tasked with the creating a new stimulating but relaxing working environment.

Why should I visit Clerkenwell Design Week?

We’ve all been there, where we’ve hit a fork in the road and we’re experiencing a lack of creativity. It can be frustrating to anyone who is a creative individual who find themselves doing the same thing day in day out. At CDW you will find yourself mingling with people who are just like you, naturally you will be bouncing ideas and concepts off each other.
