London Design Festival 2022
Our Nadia* taking part in the panel discussions curated by Katie Richardson
It’s London Design Festival! There are so many fantastic things on this year that it can all be a bit overwhelming. So, we’ve done the hard work and spent some time curating our top picks to share with you!
First up, we wanted to start with our local area, The Shoreditch Design Triangle.
• TOAST have reimagined a series of worn TOAST garments to create a capsule collection. The pop-up will also host repair and upcycling workshops.
• AIDA, our favourite shop in London, celebrates its 10th anniversary.
• British Standard Cupboards x Labour and Wait. A match made in heaven!
• Karen Nicol at Town House. This will be a good one! If you haven’t been to Town House yet, we highly recommend you do!
• SCP One Tree collection. A group of designers were challenged to create something beautiful from a felled ash tree. The results are beautiful.
• Kvadrat x Front. Launch of Arda, a double knitted upholstery textile and just around the corner from us!

• BA Product & Furniture Design, Class of 22, to discover fresh new talent.
• Jan Hendzel Studio has reimagined the design of two suites at the Town Hall Hotel.

And now for the rest of London!
