Design Museum to curate agenda setting talks programme ahead of opening in Kensington
Theme of ‘Experience’ through installations, immersive features and sensory experiments
100% Design, the UK's largest design
trade show, returns to Olympia London
21-24 September. The show forms the
commercial heart of London Design
Festival, presenting leading national
and international exhibitors with
ideas, products and innovations for
the domestic, workplace and built
environments, alongside a special focus
on emerging brands.
Attracting over 26,000 professional
visitors with a spending power
exceeding £3.4 billion, this year sees the
staging of the 22nd edition of London’s
iconic design show.
Reflecting 100% Design’s focus on
quality and inspiration, this year’s theme
is ‘Experience’, which will be explored
across the show through specially
commissioned installations, immersive
experiences and sensory experiments.
Visitors can physically engage with the
latest product innovations, establish
new business relationships and network
with design professionals.
Talks with 100% Design will be curated
by the Design Museum as part of their
‘on loan’ campaign with activity out
and about in Kensington until the
museum opens there on 24 November
2016. Focussing on quality and depth,
the talks present thought leaders in
the industry, deliver agenda- setting
keynotes alongside panel discussions
exploring trends in contemporary
practice as well as the future of design.
The programme will be presented in
a specially-commissioned auditorium,
designed by Miska Miller-Lovegrove.
A separate talks programme focussing
on professional development will be
presented in the Forum.
Making its debut at London Design
Festival 2016 is LuxuryMade, a new
show dedicated to contemporary
decorative interiors. Staged alongside
100% Design close to the site of the
new Design Museum, it is the latest
addition to the West Kensington area’s
burgeoning design offer.
