As 100% Design enters its 18th year, bringing designers and architects from around the world under one show roof, its attendance predictions are equally exuberant – this year some 40,000 visitors are expected.

This year's outing by leading and up-and-coming companies will be following the theme 100% Future Living, and will see a floor plan divided and laid out by category, featuring interiors, office, kitchen & bathrooms and eco design & build, and an emerging brands area supporting international young designers. Also featured is a programme of cateory-linked seminars, including from Renée Labbe, global trends vice president at Stylesight, on trends in commercial spaces and a session chaired by writer and architectural impresario Peter Murray, with input from Stephan Oberwegner, Dexter Moren and the developer of Hotel Rafayel, Iqbal Latif.

Here we present a taste of what to expect at this year's 100% Design.
