On Sunday 12th March, the Design Centre at Chelsea Harbour will be opening its doors to London Design Week. Interior designers, architects and decision makers will come together with designers and suppliers to showcase the very best in interior design. It is a hotbed of talent and our team is ready to be inspired and to learn all there is to know about this year’s major launches, including the trends that will be impacting on our lives as interior designers. With the theme “the science of design” we are expecting to have our minds expanded and our knowledge enriched.
Here’s our roundup of the events and collections we don’t want to miss.
