Brompton Design District has a packed programme full of design events for 2022.
Running from 17 – 25 September, London’s first ever design district will host a range of exhibitions, talks and events showcasing the work of emerging designers as well as celebrating the work of leading designers and brands including Cassina, Molteni&C, Meridiani and others from the UK and Europe. For London Design Festival 2022, the theme for Brompton Design District is ‘Make Yourself At Home’. Recent events have heightened our awareness of home, its importance and fragility in turbulent times. Curated by Jane Withers Studio, Brompton invites designers to reflect on the places we call home and the role of design in transforming these spaces.
Internationally renowned design brands based in the District will share their latest collections including; Cassina, Molteni&C, B&B Italia, Meridiani, Poliform, KARTELL and Tai Ping. Alongside exhibits by leading showrooms in Brompton, the curated programme will showcase work by Martino Gamper and Friends, James Shaw, Sanne Visser, Bethan Laura Wood and others. Also responding to the theme will be Kyiv based design studio NOOM, whose exhibit Ukraine: Design for Real Time presents Gropius Low Chair Military Edition by Kateryna Sokolova. Design graduates from Royal College of Art will also respond to the theme with an exhibition entitled I Was Lost But Now I Live Here and for the first time Brompton Design District has partnered with Disegno to host a programme of talks with leading designers.
Stretching from the V&A to Brompton Cross, Brompton is a destination for design; a cluster of global design brands sit within an ecosystem of fashion shops, local cafes, established restaurants and one of the world’s most important cultural quarters. This year the District’s hub will be at Cromwell Place. The arts venue will host four exhibitions from the curated programme as well as a number of other London Design Festival events including INTO SIGHT, a life-sized media platform installation, where Sony Design plays on sensorial effects that transform simple surfaces into an infinite vista through shifting light, colour and sound.
