London Design Week kicks off this week with most events held between Wednesday 17th and Sunday 21st. Each year the London Design Festival expands with ever more workshops, shows, exhibitions and talks taking place in the capital. So if you’re near, or are already in London this week then why not take some time out and visit one of the many (often free) shows. Here I have selected some of my personal favorites that you should look out for.<\/p>\n

If you have been reading our blog or picked up a magazine this time last year, you would know that deVOL was at 100% Design 2013. This year 100% Design<\/a><\/strong> kicks off on Wednesday with Philippe Starck opening the show. 100% Design is the largest trade\/ public show, however Tent London<\/a><\/strong> is a fantastic all public show and set within the beautiful Truman Brewery. Tent London always has a really cool vibe about it with many, often smaller, companies showcasing their work. Within Tent London there is Super Brands and Super Talks, which hold seminars and discussions on Design and Design Thinking. Design Junction<\/strong><\/a> is always a great show in London (however in Milan this year it was a little disappointing) with quite an eclectic mix of furniture with Light Junction<\/a><\/strong> dedicated to the very best lighting designers. These one stop shows are all within central London, however Decorex <\/strong><\/a> is in the lovely Syon Park in south London. Decorex opens on Sunday 21st – Wednesday 24th with a focus on luxury brands.<\/p>\n
