SHOW PREVIEW: CLERKENWELL DESIGN WEEK 25
20-22 May Clerkenwell, London
Clerkenwell Design Week 2025 C
lerkenwell is home to more creative businesses and architects per square mile than anywhere else
in the world. It’s no surprise, then, that Clerkenwell Design Week (CDW) has become a globally recognised platform for the design community to come together in a dynamic celebration of architecture, interiors, and innovation. Now in its 14th edition, CDW 2025 promises an expanded programme of events, installations, and exhibitions, cementing its reputation as the UK’s leading independent design festival. Taking place from 20-22 May, CDW will once again transform Clerkenwell’s historic streets, repurposing its unique architectural space, from subterranean vaults to Victorian warehouses, into immersive design destinations. With over 600 showroom events, 15 curated exhibitions, and a vibrant fringe programme, the festival offers unparalleled opportunities for discovery and dialogue across the design spectrum. Visitors can expect to explore the latest in furniture, lighting, textiles, surfaces, and product design from both established global brands and up-and- coming talents. This year’s curated exhibitions will span iconic venues such as the House of Detention, Spa Fields, and The Goldsmiths’ Centre, each reimagined to host cutting-edge displays and thought- provoking installations. A core feature of CDW’s appeal is its rich programme of talks and debates. Conversations at Clerkenwell, curated by PR and Brand Consultant Katie Richardson, returns with a compelling series of panels and interviews that refl ect the evolving design landscape. The 2025 programme opens with a headline conversation between celebrated Dutch artist and designer Sabine Marcelis and

Their work will feature in the festival’s central auditorium space, providing a vibrant visual anchor to the programme and a symbol of CDW’s commitment to creativity across disciplines.
For professionals in architecture and
design, CDW is more than an exhibition, it’s a chance to engage with peers, clients, and collaborators in a uniquely inspiring
