designjunction 2016

designjunction is, without a doubt, our favourite thing about London Design Festival. Yes, it's wonderful to peruse architectural plans and the ever-narrowing gap between design and technology is fascinating. But designjunction is the best place for browsing (and buying) the best contemporary pieces. And this year, it's got a brand new location: Granary Square in King's Cross, right next to Central St. Martin's.

Back for its sixth year at London Design Festival, 2016's edition will see four distinct areas. Real design magpies can head straight for shopping destination 'The Canopy' a temporary pop-up venue for 70 luxury retail brands. shop from a selection of renowned design labels selling everything from fashion accessories to technology, textiles and stationery to ceramics. Look out for brands Cherchbi, Future and Found, Tom Pigeon, Dyke and Dean and Another Studio.
