Celebrating its 11^th outing in 2022, Clerkenwell Design Week is set to return to London’s architectural district from May 24-26 and is claimed to be its biggest event to date.

After a two-year hiatus, following the COVID pandemic, the show will return with more exhibitors, showrooms and venues than ever before.

Visitors can expect a show with the latest interior designs, hundreds of design-led fringe events, pop-ups, workshops, talks and showroom presentations.

There will be 10 exhibition venues, in historical and purpose-built venues, each of which is curated with their own focus – from international design to best of British.

In addition, over 125 showrooms will be participating in the event, and there will be series of talks in Spa Field – held in the round in a reimagined Victorian band stand – by leading and emerging designers, architects and creative institutes.

Forming part of a new festival location in Charterhouse Square, the Covered exhibition is sponsored by RAK Ceramics and dedicated to interior surfaces.

RAK Ceramics will also launch its new showroom during Clerkenwell Design Week, which will add to the list of participating showrooms.

These include bathroom and kitchen manufacturers Coalbrook, Cosentino, Devol Kitchens, Duravit, Formica Group, Gessi, Ideal Standard, Kohler, TOTO and VitrA.

Armac Martin, Dowsing and Reynolds, Hotspot Titanium and Samuel Heath will also be present in the Elements exhibition, which brings together ironmongery and architectural accessories.

And Billi Taps will be supplying free drinking water with water taps located throughout Clerkenwell, where visitors can bring their own bottles and fill up.

It is a sustainable nod to the traditional Clerk’s Well that gave the area its name.

At the last Clerkenwell Design Week held in 2019, a total of 34,185 visitors attended the event, with visitors from 66 countries.
