After a two-year absence, Clerkenwell Design Week has returned, and is larger than ever.
The eleventh edition features more exhibitors, showrooms and venues than before. More than140 world-class design showrooms have partnered with CDW, providing an array of stimulating events, talks and workshops.
Running until 26 May, visitors can expect to see the latest designs, innovations and creative ideas, as well as experiencing hundreds of design-led fringe events, pop-ups, workshops, talks and showroom presentations. This year’s edition features 10 exhibition venues, with three new for 2022, as well as Conversations at Clerkenwell – a series of talks in Spa Fields by leading designers and architects.
Fritz Hansen is celebrating its 150th anniversary at CDW, with a special installation to mark the event as well as previewing new products.
Deadgood is presenting new launches at CDW 2022, including ReWork by David Irwin: a simple yet comprehensive modular seating collection, designed to meet the demand for dynamic, hybrid workspaces. Thanks to its flexible design, ReWork can be easily reconfigured and is suitable for focused work, collaboration or a mixture of both and can add structure to open plan spaces, create a focal point within an interior and define areas as required. The collection is a response to the new working patterns and cultures that are becoming entrenched in the modern workplace.
Sustainability is also running through designs presented in the showrooms at CDW 2022. Arper presented the new collections Mixu, Kata and Kinesit Met as well as a new edition of its Aston series. Mixu is a sustainable and versatile collection of chairs and stools designed in collaboration with international architectural and design practice Gensler. Kata by Altherr Désile Park is Arper’s first solid wood lounge chair designed with circular sustainability at its core.
