Back for its 13th edition, Clerkenwell Design Week (May 21-23) was bigger than ever, taking over London’s Clerkenwell neighbourhood with hundreds of showroom presentations and curated events. Product launches and panel discussions focused on healthy and neuroinclusive spaces, the switch to a circular economy and expressive aesthetics for feel-good interiors.

Wellbeing was a key topic across the board, looking past pure aesthetics to consider how design can make a tangible positive impact. Solutions for healthier spaces tackled everything from community-led regeneration and neuroinclusive design to improved air quality and work-optimised interiors.

A sense of urgency to adopt more sustainable practices and materials was palpable among brands and panellists. The abundance of strategies was framed as a positive, allowing different industry players to choose what’s right for them and do what they can.

Expression was key to many of the designs shown at Clerkenwell Design Week. As seen in The Heartfelt Home, centring personal narratives and character in design supports the creation of feel-good interiors – something consumers are increasingly searching for.
