Event Details

London Design Fair is set to bring a new level of sustainable design to the creative heart of Shoreditch with its new ‘Homes with a Heart’ showcase in collaboration with Blue Patch. The leading event for interior designers, architects, and retail buyers, is making its much anticipated comeback at the iconic Truman Brewery from 21 – 24 September 2023 with so much on offer.
 
Over its 14 years, the fair has developed a worldwide reputation as an essential trade destination and the go-to show for inspiration and business, with its contemporary selection of creators, manufacturers, and brands across multiple disciplines. The 2023 edition promises an array of new and existing features for visitors to enjoy. 
 
The Fair is calling upon key names in the industry to collaborate in 2023, hosting pockets of content and bespoke installations reflecting the eclectic atmosphere of the Fair. Offering an inspiring programme for the architecture and design community, this year’s Fair promises to give its visitors the opportunity to anticipate future trends and mindsets. 
 
Homes with a Heart 
The area will feature a sustainably styled home that demonstrates there is no compromise on aesthetics when opting for responsibly produced and manufactured products for the home. The area delves into the beauty of traditional crafts and small-batch, circular production lines, providing a glimpse into the individual stories behind each design.

The first edition of London Design Fair’s new initiative Design Alumni Pavilion will showcase and support emerging talent within the design community. The exclusive selection of new talents will consist of recent graduates who have recently begun their career within their chosen practice of design.
