The Sustainably Minded Expositors You Cannot Miss
This week, from 20-23 September, the burgeoning district of West Kensington becomes the epitome of inspiration with 100% Design, the UK’s largest and most iconic design trade show returning to Olympia London.
One more year, 100% Design will bring leading national and international design heavyweights, many of whom will be launching new product at the show. The show will provide expert industry insight and unrivalled business experience for architects, interior designers and other design and construction specialists, as well as seminars, talks and networking opportunities for the more than 27,000 professional attendees from the influential design community.
This edition’s theme, Elements, aspires to influence visitors to consider everything from the fundamentals of design to the component parts that make up a product, the materials used to the stories and processes of development. The theme is therefore reflected across installations, features, talks programs and show design, which this year will present products split into five distinct sections: Interiors, Workplace, Kitchens & Bathrooms, Design & Build and Emerging Brands.
