Event Details

The Shoreditch Design Triangle returns for its fifteenth consecutive year with a spirited programme of design-led happenings that are representative of the vibrant creative scene that flourishes in the area. Set to be a bumper year, SDT announced the first round of 25 confirmed participants, from leading furniture designers and brands, to the best new students in the land.
The Shoreditch Design Triangle is a cultural event that celebrates the creative industry in east London. It was established in 2008 as a vehicle for the designers, companies and institutions situated in the area to collaborate on the promotion of their activities during the London Design Festival, and at other key periods in the year.
Shoreditch is a modern mixed use inner-city environment, where residents, creative industries, the arts, retailers, restaurateurs, party-goers and international visitors all join in. It’s a place that celebrates diversity, embraces new ideas and welcomes the individual.
