London Design Week 2024 (11 – 15 March) is the ultimate international design and decoration show, brimming with creative ideas, inspiration and insights.

Be the first to discover the latest spring/summer launches and hear from the best in the business. With 130 showrooms, many new arrivals opening in time for the event, as well as pop-up House Guests, this is an unmissable show where connections are made and ideas are shared.

Over five days, Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour’s convening power brings together an unrivalled line-up of world-class brands, talented makers, creatives and thought leaders who will shape the future of interiors in the months to come. The unmatched reach of the Design Centre has never been stronger, cementing its position as a vital design hub.

Whether you are a trade professional, an individual with a passion for interiors or someone looking for ideas for an upcoming project, London Design Week 2024 is a must. This friendly, lively environment is the place to experience the energy and excitement of the new collections that will take interiors in a new direction.

PROGRAMME
An international roster of names alongside a galaxy of showroom experts, talks, tours, workshops and demonstrations all add up to a compelling programme of 100+ events, spearheaded by the renowned main stage talks series, Conversations in Design which will feature renowned US designer Bunny Williams who will speak about her new collection with Paolo Moschino, and discerning homegrown design talent Flora Soames, as well as Kit Kemp with many more names soon to be announced. The talk offers in-depth interviews and panel discussions with star names, while Grow Your Business sessions provide professional insights on how to keep competitive and connected.

There are scores of free events in the Access All Areas schedule to enjoy in and around the showrooms, from hands-on demonstrations, meet the designer sessions to the debut of creative collaborations. Daily design discovery tours will give visitors the inside track on the most talked-about products at the show. This wealth of experience is extraordinary and, what’s more it is a free resource for every visitor.

DESIGN DIRECTIONS
For spring/summer 2024, expect to have fun with design. Certain design hallmarks from the past are making a return: there’s a nod to nostalgia with a Bloomsbury design direction which is layered, eclectic and thoroughly charming. There  is a  glamorous throwback with a Palm Beach design direction which showcases old world charm mixed with a tropical feel. A connection to nature has been a recurring theme in design, but this season there is an enchanting twist with the aptly named Enchanted Isle design direction which showcases decorative and dreamlike fabrics and wallcoverings that take the eye on a journey to imaginary places. 

London Design Week highlights include collaborations with international tastemakers such as Bunny Williams with Paolo Moschino, Jennifer Manners with Salvesen Graham, Lauren Kirar with Arteriors, Kit Kemp with GP & J Baker and Giles Deacon with Sanderson Design Group.

NEW ARRIVALS
Exciting changes are taking place at the Design Centre with new showrooms opening, and existing ones expanding. New arrivals include The Rug Company, Vispring, Casamance, Zuber and Quote & Curate, while Wendy Morrison will have a larger showroom to explore.
