Integral to the festival are the local resident design showrooms, who partner with Clerkenwell Design Week every year, providing the festival with a stimulating programme of topic-led events including talks, workshops and product launches.

CDW 2018 has seven different exhibition venues across the area, all showcasing different styles - covering leading furniture, lighting, textile, surface, accessory and product design from around the world.

CDW 2018 is now open and welcoming thousands of visitors to delight in the CDW Presents programme. This year bring your totes and get them recycled, take a selfie in Royal Approval, discover hidden room-sets at Behind Closed Doors and take a breather on Pipeline.

Clerkenwell is home to a variety of creative practices including architects, branding agencies and craft studios. In celebration of the event, many of these local practices throw open their doors to the festival's visitors and host workshops, displays and installations.
