Cubit House, designjunction’s trade destination, will play a backdrop
to cutting-edge furniture and lighting, alongside innovations in
materials, emerging designers and breakthrough brands. Here,
visitors will find new and innovative product launches and design
discoveries. Scandinavian design duo Friends and Founders will
launch structural new pieces including the FF chairs, which feature
a chrome-plated steel tube structure and curved backrest, in an
obvious nod towards the Bauhaus movement. Bauhaus inspired
design will be hard to miss at the 2019 edition of LDF, with numerous
brands taking their inspiration from the movement, which celebrates
its centenary year.

This year, designjunction are bringing consumer brands back to The
Canopy, housing over 70 premium pop-up shops and emerging design
labels, selling everything from fashion accessories to technology,
ceramics, glassware and stationery. The area will take shape under
an impressive heritage-protected wrought iron structure. Canopy
exhibitor, Tom Pigeon, follows a simple abstract style inspired
by the balance and rhythm of shapes, and can be seen across the
brand’s new Mix Match Shop: an exclusive collection of jewellery
and print which will encourage visitors to experiment with shape,
colour and material to customise their purchase and leave with their
own unique combinations. Other exhibitors include Abalon, Chalk
Wovens, Cristian Zuzunaga and more.
designjunction have launched a brand-new Talks programme for
2019, sponsored by Clippings. Set against the millennial-pink
backdrop of the Everyman Cinema and curated by design and
architecture writer and commentator Grant Gibson, the two-day
platform (Thursday 19 - Friday 20 September) is set to challenge,
provoke and engage with an eclectic range of topical issues that
include sustainability and the circular economy; the relationship
between dyslexia and design; the need for increased diversity in
design; and the importance of wellbeing at work.
There will be a myriad of features throughout the show including ‘Talk
to Me’: a powerful and engaging two-piece interactive installation by
