May marks the month of some of the industry’s most-anticipated events. Designers from across all disciplines of the industry will come together to appreciate the best of British and international design. Kicking us off for the month, this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week is set to liven up the streets of London with some of the best names in interior design, architecture, furniture design and beyond. The studios of Clerkenwell will open their doors to inspire, educate and network with attendees, making it one of the most important design hubs in the world.
