Festival fever struck last night as London’s design world came together for the busiest night of the year
Reports from across the city indicated packed venues as shows launches in advance of the weekend crowds. Events from Brompton Road to Brick Lane brought the Festival to life with plenty to do, lots to see and a fair bit to drink!
Talk around town focussed on who was out and about, the Festival shows worth visiting, products, people and trends. This stage of the Festival provides the most extensive range of networking opportunities for designers and businesses alike.
Tonight (Friday) night is no less busy, with big parties taking place at Tent London, the 100% Design London Awards being presented for the first time. Designersblock continues to party – this time with a focus on their Illustrate show in Highbury. Alongside these events there are many more – listed below – enjoy!
