Exciting New Features at Designjunction 2016

designjunction returns to the London Design Festival again this year September 22-25, boasting lots of great stuff, plus exciting new features and collaborations, so you won’t want to miss it. This year, it is divided up into four key sites: Cubitt House (trade), The Canopy (retail), Granary Square (immersive experiences) and The Crossing (installations).

Firstly, designjunction is working with Architectural firm Satellite Architects alongside Danish design curators, Icons of Denmark to create a spectacular installation using Danish designer Peter J. Lassen’s modular and versatile GRID system. The structure will be located at the entrance to Cubitt House, the trade destination at designjunction, housing more than 100 leading international furniture and lighting brands. In addition, the space will be fully furnished with Deadgood’s Naked collection by Magnus Long and Gala Wright.
