First staged in 2003, the London Design Festival is one of the world's most important annual design events. The Festival programme is made up of over 300 events and exhibitions staged by hundreds of partner organisations across the design spectrum and from around the world. A centerpiece of the Festival is our commissions, the Landmark Projects, created with the help of our generous supporters. For the Landmark Projects we commission some of the world's greatest architects and designers to create pieces of work in some of London's best-loved public spaces. And then there are the Partner events; if anything is evidence of this city's vitality, it's the sheer scope and quality of the Festival events programmed by our Partners. From established businesses to emerging practies, from entrepreneurs to educators, from manufacturers to retailers, our Partners represent the heart of London's design culture. The Festival is both a cultural and a commercial event. The programme ranges from major international exhibitions to trade events, installations to talks and seminars, from product launches to receptions, private views and parties. The majority of events are free of charge - enabling visitors to participate, listen, learn, commission and make purchases. | ||

Designjunction is central London’s largest destination for contemporary design and culture, held annually during the UK’s most important design event – The London Design Festival. Designjunction was launched at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2011 by Deborah Spencer, Jon Powell and Michael Sodeau. 2013 show will be housed back within the Sorting Office. Once home to the largest Royal Mail sorting Office in central London, the brutalist 1960’s industrial aesthetic, featuring massive ceiling heights, concrete floor and postal chutes throughout the space, provided the perfect backdrop for a creative cultural design event | ||
