greater than the natural eye could see. St Paul’s Cathedral will also provide
the spectacular backdrop for the fifth presentation of the London Design Medal. A panel of key figures from across the design industry will determine who will receive the medal in 2011. Thomas Heatherwick won this prestigious prize in last year, joining previous winners Sir Paul Smith, Zaha Hadid and Marc Newson as having made a significant contribution to design and London.
DESIGN DISTRICTS The Festival’s wider programme, staged by a mass of design-related organisations and individuals will again be focused on six design districts; each celebrating their own particular contribution to the world of design in London. The Brompton Design District, and
nearby Pimlico Road will showcase a cocktail of international, interiors and design led installations. In central London, Covent Garden will reflect the broad range of design interests locally and stage a specially commissioned installation with Lego in the Piazza. Following its debut in 2010, the Fitzrovia
Creative programme will develop with a host of showrooms working together led by the
European Design Centre. Further east, the Clerkenwell Design District will again come to life in a multitude of showrooms and studios. The Shoreditch Design Triangle will
provide a range of interests and activities, co-ordinated with SCP and including Lee Broom’s debut handcrafted upholstery collection, Salon.
100% DESIGN The cornerstone commercial show at the Festival will contain over 400 exhibitors covering design products to architectural materials, and the emerging talent showcase
- 100% Futures. British design takes centre stage, alongside international pavilions including new participants Chile and Greece. See next month’s Designer for more details on what you can expect to see at the show.
DECOREX The UK’s most established design and interiors show (now in its 34th year) runs from 25 - 28 September. Located at The Royal Hospital Chelsea, the event will present new design from contemporary to classic, industrial to craft, from leading suppliers to the interior design world. ‘Sanctuary’ is the inspiration for this year’s show with a specially designed entrance by Nicky Haslam.
