Two venues for Designjunction

There are not one but two locations for this fifth edition of Designjunction. The first location is The College (12-42 Southampton Row), the home of Central Saint Martins, one of the most renowned art and design institutions in the world. Here, Designjunction showcases a mix of over 100 cutting-edge brands scattered throughout the five storeys of the historic building. The ground floor is dedicated to the Lightjunction exhibition, with the biggest names in the decorative lighting sector on show. Also at The College is an installation by Camilla Barnard – a huge underground station made from wood – and an interesting programme of seminars on the “Design for a reason” theme. Cross the street and you’ll find yourself outside Victoria House B1 (37 Southampton Row), which hosts over 50 pop-up shops: a whirlwind journey through the latest in home accessories, ceramics, design ornaments, jewellery, art prints and much more. Don’t miss Late Night Shopping (Thursday 24 between 19:00 and 21:00) and a visit to the Design Clinic (organised in collaboration with Nest.co.uk), where experts Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead from the 2 Lovely Gays duo will be handing out pearls of interior design wisdom.
