Clerkenwell Design Week returned this year for its 13th edition, bringing together the architecture and design community with over 600 curated events, 160 design showrooms, and 300 brands. With site-specific installations, special projects, and collaborations across Clerkenwell, here are some highlights that caught our eye:
Solus Ceramics
Quickly becoming a major hub during the design festival, the two-floor Solus Ceramics showroom featured a packed programme of events throughout the week. Highlights included “Laboratory” by Refin Ceramiche, an interactive installation designed by Halloway Li, AHMM's presentation on their 'Delivering Net Zero In Use Toolkit,' workshops and talks by Narinder Sagoo, Caroline Till, and Kate Ray. Each evening featured live music performances by Juice Aleem and DJ A La Fu, capped off with a headline DJ set by Daniel Avery.

Brighton-based designer Tabitha Bargh’s lighting collection ‘Poly’ repurposes waste estate agent boards made from Correx into stylish interior lighting. This innovative approach offers a sustainable twist on repurposing materials, embodying the eco-conscious spirit of the festival.
