Visiting Clerkenwell Showrooms’ Open Evening during the 23rd London Design Festival? Book your table for lunch or dinner at Luce e Limoni Italian restaurant.
The Clerkenwell Showrooms’ Open Evening showcases this corner of the capital as a vibrant hub of creativity. Held on 13th September from 5:30pm to 6:30pm at 5 Albemarle Way, this free event invites architects, designers and design enthusiasts to explore the beating heart of London’s design community. The evening celebrates innovation, sustainability, and community in one of the world’s densest creative clusters.
Clerkenwell, home to more architects and creative businesses per square mile than anywhere else, sets the stage for an immersive experience. The Clerkenwell Showrooms’ Open Evening features 160+ showrooms showcasing cutting-edge furniture, lighting, surfaces and kitchen designs from global brands like MillerKnoll, Muuto and String Furniture. Expect product launches, live demonstrations and exhibitions, with highlights including HAY’s new collections by Erwan Bouroullec and Muuto’s innovative Beam and Strand lamps.
This year’s event emphasises sustainability, with showrooms like Mater unveiling products made from recycled materials, such as the Terra collection crafted from coffee waste and e-waste. Interactive installations and workshops, as well as talks with leading designers, offer practical insights into material innovation and eco-conscious design. A showroom trail map, available closer to the event, guides visitors through the district, though booking may be required for select sessions.
The evening also provides networking opportunities, a chance to connect with decision-makers and specifiers. Refreshments and guided tours create a relaxed yet inspiring atmosphere, perfect for sparking collaborations. Highlights include Pluck’s new kitchen range with Schotten & Hansen, featuring vibrant Douglas Fir veneers, and Kasthall’s Fasad collection at Old Sessions House, celebrating 135 years of craftsmanship. The Clerkenwell Showrooms’ Open Evening really is a highlight of the London Design Festival.
And don’t forget: the ideal eatery for lunch before the Open Evening, or indeed for dinner following the event, is top Sicilian Italian restaurant Luce e Limoni.
