With its tight agenda full of interesting events, the festival aims once again at promoting London as the world’s design capital. For those of you who happen to be in the city and would like to take a tour, we suggest to start from these 5 events. They are related to 5 personal passions that cross the world of creativity. Read the following lines to find out which ones and why.

If you like fabrics and colours and you’d like to take a dip in the texture world with a tactile, jaw-dropping experience, you have to visit Kvadrat exhibition. The Danish firm is known since the late ‘60s for its ability to explore the beauty and the intrinsic value of yarns with the use of a wide chromatic palette. They will take the public through an interactive journey with the My Canvas exhibition hosted at Design Frontiers, inside Somerset House. The show is centred on the work of 19 talents who were asked by the brand to reinterpret its iconic square fabric Canvas 2. Giulio Ridolfo took care of the palette as he is a designer specialised in colour. The other artists are Zeitguised (Germany), BCXSY (The Netherlands), Maria Jeglinska (Poland), Felipe Ribon (France), Christien Meindertsma (The Netherlands), Judith Seng (Germany), YOY Idea (Japan) Moritz Schmid (Switzerland), Cheng-Tsung Feng (Taiwan), Max Lipsey (The Netherlands), GamFratesi (Denmark), Mimi Jung (USA), Chen Williams (USA), Jonathan Muecke (USA), Teruhiro Yanagihara (Japan) Kate Chung Design (China), Clemens Lauer e Max Guderian (Germany) and Butternutten AG (Germany). The aim was to allow London Design Festival visitors to have a first-hand experience, to understand the potential of materials and the outcome obtained by making full use of the structural and architectural properties of fabric.
