London Design Festival<\/span><\/em><\/strong> was launched in 2003 by Sir John Sorrell CBE and Ben Evans CBE. Building on London\u2019s existing design activity, they wanted to create an annual event that would promote the city\u2019s creativity and attract the country\u2019s greatest thinkers, practitioners, retailers and educators to create an unmissable celebration of design.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vision of London Design Festival <\/strong>is to celebrate and promote London as the design capital of the world. The festival will take place for the 19th time from 18-26 September 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

London and Design go hand in hand. It is part of our story. London Design Festival is a platform for hundreds of design stories to be told. Each of them talks to an expanding audience hungry for design ideas and enjoying the quality and diversity of what\u2019s on offer. It all confirms London\u2019s status as the global centre of design.<\/p>\nBen Evans CBE, London Design Festival Director<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The festival is responsible for creating design icons<\/a> <\/strong>and must-see and must-experience buildings: In addition to the works of Hadid and the Bouroullecs, there are Alison Brooks Architects\u2019 The Smile (2016) and Endless Stair (2013) by Alex de Rijke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Framed by Stuart Haygarth (2010)<\/strong> was inspired by Dorothy\u2019s travels on the Yellow Brick Road (in the Land of Oz) and by an abstract interpretation of contemporary street art.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2007, the festival has commissioned some of the world\u2019s most celebrated designers<\/a><\/strong> to create sensational temporary structures. The first, Zaha Hadid<\/a><\/strong>, was the incredible concrete Urban Nebula, which was on display at Southbank Centre and put polished concrete at the heart of the design action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outrace by Kram\/Weisshaar<\/strong> from 2010 featured eight Audi robots that created calligraphy from visitors\u2019 text messages. Because the technology depended on spotlights, it had to run until midnight, as the messages were easier to see after sunset. When AL _A architects<\/strong> set up Timber Wave outside the V&A in 2011, the installation was so difficult that the museum\u2019s main entrance was closed for almost two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival shines a new light on the city and gives new splendour to the familiar. In Jaime Hay\u00f3n\u2019s Tournament (2009)<\/strong>, a giant chessboard was integrated into Trafalgar Square, bringing to life a cityscape as in Alice Through The Looking Glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cube by VELUX\u00ae by Henning Larsen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This artistic installation will serve as a sanctuary for Londoners <\/strong>to relax and unwind. Built by VELUX\u00ae and designed by Danish architects Henning Larsen, the unique installation consists of a mosaic of skylights<\/strong>. The Cube by VELUX\u00ae lets the combination of daylight and fresh air let your mind wander. Located at Observation Point on South Bank, the installation allows visitors to control the skylights via the VELUX ACTIVE app.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

London Design Festival is a fantastic event which brings together designers from across the globe and demonstrates the capital\u2019s position as a powerhouse for the creative industries. London is known for its creativity and continues to attract the best companies and talent from around the world. I\u2019m delighted to support London Design Festival, which shows that London is open to great ideas, innovation and people from all backgrounds.<\/p>\nSadiq Khan, Mayor of London<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
