Clerkenwell Design Week
Returning for its fourth year, Clerkenwell Design Week, which takes place around the London district between 21st-23rd May, is set to surpass the success of 2012 with an enhanced format including increased exhibition spaces, a new focus on interior decoration and an array of curated projects across the festival’s historical venues.

The Clerkenwell neighbourhood will house a growing list of top UK and international designers who see the festival as the key event in the international design calendar. The iconic Farmiloe building will become a hub for key UK and international brands. ekonglong office chair

Visitors to the Priory of the Order of St John will be able to admire a lighting installation in the loggia designed by internationally-acclaimed sculptural lighting specialist Sharon Marston. The 12th century church will house 2013’s latest interior decoration trends, featuring names such as Ochre, Sé London, and a young vibrant furniture brand from Portugal, Ginger & Jagger.
