A number of brands will push the boundaries of contemporary
living, debuting models for the future, including Riko with Starck
and Tesla.
Tesla, a brand focussed on accelerating the world’s transition
to sustainable energy, will showcase Powerwall, a device which
integrates with solar to store excess energy generated during
the day making it available only when you need it, minimising
reliance on other forms of energy.
Alongside this Talks With 100% Design returns as the most
anticipated and forward thinking talks programme of the design
calendar. Expect a series of inspiring sessions reflecting the
very best in global design, emerging talents and the changing
landscape of London’s creative communities.

Philippe Starck will present a prefabricated house with Riko, a
Slovenian engineering and manufacturing brand that specialises
in industrial prefabrication and energy production technology.
Riko first teamed up with Starck in 2014 to unveil a new home
featuring rooftop energy producing technologies, wind turbines,
rainwater recovery and heating pumps.
Olympia London, home to 100% Design, is undergoing a
major regeneration project, managed by owners Yoo Capital
and Deutsche Finance International. Heatherwick Studio, in
collaboration with SPPARC Architects, will lead the architectural
enhancement. The project will see the 130-year-old exhibition
centre based on a 14-and-a-half-acre site in Kensington, London,
transformed into a world-leading arts, entertainment, exhibition
and experiential district whilst staying true to its original heritage
as an exhibition business.
