Clerkenwell Design Week was yet another resounding success, following on from last year’s fantastic three-day event. With around 20,000 people registered, 150 events to choose from, and 60 showrooms opening their doors for three days; there was plenty to see. New exhibitions and events this year, ensured the festival remained inspiring.
Jaguar the main sponsors showcased their C-X75 concept car; take a look at egmCarTech.
House of Detention, an event showcasing innovative product designs from a wide variety of designers, was held in the very unusual venue of an underground Victorian prison. The exhibition allowed visitors to explore the interesting site, which is not usually open to the public.
The most talked about bar during the Design Week, known as the ‘Step Inside Bar’ was transformed by Giles Miller Studio and located on the Clerkenwell Road; sited on an old petrol station forecourt.
Overall the array of speakers, debates, presentations, workshops, exhibitions, launches and parties helped to make Clerkenwell Design Week 2011 the best yet!
