British Collection

New for 2016 is British Collection, in the barrelroofed crypt of St James's Church on Clerkenwell Green. In this unique space some of Britain's exciting home-grown talent will be shown, featuring furniture, lighting and products. Exhibitors will include Waterloo-based Hand & Eye Studio's elegant innovations in extruded terracotta lamps and Clerkenwell's Jennifer Newman Studio showing indoor and outdoor furniture with an industrial aesthetic. Contemporary furniture designer Liam Treanor will also feature, alongside James Burleigh, Ocee Design and The Workshop, by Minale + Mann.

Textile and Flooring Showrooms

Camira will launch a new collaboration with textile designer Torunn Myklebust, promising a new direction for its collection Synergy. Meanwhile Bolon invites visitors to experience Material Interventions, a collaboration between the Swedish design company and London-based designer Doshi Levien that showcases Bolon's new collection. Work by British rug designer Helen Yardley will be staged at a pop-up space at Craft Central, while Forest & Found will host workshops for those who want to get involved with handcrafting objects in wood or textiles.

Additions

Also set in the Garden of St James, Additions is the place to discover smaller design pieces, such as candleholders and tableware. More than 30 exhibitors will show their best and newest pieces, including Monica Bispo, Nicola Suckling and Taz Pollard

CDW Presents



CDW Presents, the festival's commissioning programme, brings design and architecture to the streets and public spaces of Clerkenwell with a series of original installations. This year Swedish practice White Arkitekter has designed the Museum of Making, for the headline project space on St John's Square. Staged in collaboration with design curator Pete Collard, the architects will create an exploded barn pavilion. This will show items from the Museum of London collections, drawing on the area's rich heritage of making and crafts.

CDW Presents

Flooring manufacturer Hakwood is working with emerging practice FleaFollyArchitects to produce this year's installation at the Arch of St John, while architects and engineers from Clerkenwell's practices Grimshaw and AKTII have developed CDW's first education and community project. Scale Rule - a collective of young engineers and architects - worked with GCSE students from across London on a structure design, to be built during CDW. Students will have the chance to gain on-site experience while the space is built in the Garden of St James.

Icon's House of culture

Returning for a second year, and in a new location, Icon's House of Culture will feature a curated selection of top international brands within Fabric, the Clerkenwell nightclub. The Victorian building opens its doors to a number of key international design brands including Resident from New Zealand, Italian lighting brand Catellani & Smith, Japan's Di Classe, Spain's Expormim and Denmark's Norr11.
