designjunction announces move to London’s South Bank for September 2018
Designjunction is on 20 – 23 September 2018 at Oxo | Doon Street | Riverside
Designjunction is set to transport to the cultural hub of London’s South Bank with a showcase of world-class design for the annual London Design Festival in September 2018.
Now in its eighth year, designjunction has firmly established its reputation for transforming some of the most exciting and ambitious locations in London into premier design destinations, attracting 28,000 visitors in 2017.
In collaboration with Coin Street Community Builders (CSCB) – a local social enterprise which owns and manages Oxo Tower Wharf, the Doon Street site and the Riverside Walkway – designjunction will present an exhibition of world class design in this world class location.
Centrally located and surrounded by iconic London architecture, this landmark destination attracts an estimated 25 million visitors each year. Through the work of CSCB, the area has been transformed from a largely derelict, 13-acre site into a thriving mixed-use neighbourhood.
“designjunction has always sought to identify architecturally stunning backdrops to present the best global design. By working with CSCB, we’re putting our brands in the centre of a thriving mixed use neighbourhood, whilst providing visitors with a unique show experience. We look forward to contributing to this exciting area.”
– designjunction’s managing director, Will Sorrell.
From September 20-23, designjunction will present hundreds of product launches, boutique pop-up shops, bespoke installations, tempting street food and purpose-built bars across three key exhibition spaces; Oxo Tower Wharf, the Doon Street site and Riverside Walkway.
The Doon Street site will house 200 international design brands and premium pop-up shops. This purpose built super-structure will be the largest and most ambitious build designjunction has ever undertaken presenting furniture, accessories, lighting and homewares in dedicated zones across two floors.
The Riverside Walkway will showcase a series of outdoor installation projects, whilst Oxo Tower Wharf will host major brand activations, exhibitions and experiential events.
