Clerkenwell Design Week 2015 kicks off
Clerkenwell Design Week 2015 started with a bang and we enjoyed a whirlwind tour of the festival before it got underway.
Emily Martin, FX assistant editor, and I strolled through Clerkenwell this morning to capture some of the first moments of Clerkenwell Design Week's sixth year.
Often closed to the public, we explore the Old Sessions House taken over by Icon House of Culture for CDW. This is one of the many beautiful rooms paying homage to its heritage with exquisite interiors by Discover Deliver (D&D).

We finished the tour at the Design factory, with a speech from headline sponsors: Renault.
