Integral to the festival are the local resident design showrooms, who partner with Clerkenwell Design Week every year. Over 150 provided the festival with a stimulating programme of topic-led events including talks, workshops and product launches.

CDW featured ten exhibition venues dotted across EC1, all showcasing a curated mix of leading brands and emerging talent - covering furniture, lighting, textile, surface, accessory and product design from around the world.

As part of Clerkenwell Design Week’s live programme, Conversations at Clerkenwell showcased in-depth dialogue with established and new design talent, industry leaders, journalists and institutes, across a 3-day programme of talks. 

During the three days of the festival, new design projects, street spectacles and temporary installations featured prominently around Clerkenwell. They were created to challenge visitors’ perception of design application, as well as to inspire and entertain them.
