DesignJunction2017 opens for business at Granary Square, London

DesignJunction2017 - the event for interiors and product designs for the international creative community is back in King's Cross for a second year.  Greeting visitors is Gateways, depicting a series of dramatic and colourful archways.  The installation is a collaboration by Turkishceramics and designer Adam Nathaniel Furman, celebrating Turkey's rich history with ceramics with the Central St Martin's college in the background.

Will Sorrell, event director, said it is an exciting time for the area, which is fast establishing as a London destination for cutting-edge design and creativity, with the Gasholders apartments opening their doors in a few weeks, and a series of pioneering retail projects moving in to King's Boulevard; and dramatic progress to Heatherwick's Coal Drops Yard which will open in October 2018.

The VIP and Press room at this year's DesignJunction, running 21 - 24 September at Granary Square, King's Cross, London, is a showcase of bold graphic patterns and the sophistication of luxe materials.  

Providing a unique sense of style for a relaxing space, The Lounge is decorated mainly by British interiors brand Kirkby Design and British design force Eley Kishimoto whose passion for pattern are played out over walls, featuring wallpapers and cushions, furniture, furnishing fabrics and cushions from the EK for KD collection.

Pendant lighting from Tala featuring Porcelain and Voronoi filament bulbs is a dramatic collection that takes influences from patterns and forms found in the natural world.
