Designjunction announces installations
Set to return for its seventh year, designjunction will take place at the King’s Cross site from 21-24 September. As a platform for cutting-edge design, the show is set to deliver a carefully curated programme for leading brands, striking installations, pop-up shows and exceptional collaborations.
A first for designjunction, a collaboration with Turkishceramics will present a fully immersive ceramic installation that will be created in the central fountain space at Granary Square. The selected artist Adam Nathaniel Furman will present Gateways, a series of colourful tiled gates that will invite visitors to take a journey through the rich history of ceramics in Turkey. The four gates are four metres high, each encompassing a different design story including: The Classic Gate, The Timber Gate, The Retro Gate and The Metro Gate.
Offering beautiful flowers direct from Dutch fields, flower delivery service bloomon will create a whimsical path underneath a canopy of flowers with a pastel coloured passageway on Granary Square. Covered in foliage inside and out, the tunnel will be closed at one end with a secret hidden door, behind which a flower-filled room will host intimate workshops and talks, providing intrigue and inspiration.
Welcoming visitors to the show, three glass box pavilions by new initiative Remote Possibilities will house the show’s main reception. This focal point for designjunction visitors will be located at the entrance to Granary Square, alongside specially curated headline projects.
Meanwhile, design practice Maynard has partnered with designjunction to mastermind the wayfinding strategy for visitors coming to the King’s Cross site. Working in collaboration with designjunction’s Graphic Directors, BCMH, they have devised a strategy that will be used across the show. Maynard has also worked with Marshalls to design a new range of brutalist inspired concrete street furniture. The modular range which includes seating, lighting and cycle parking will be launched at designjunction and will be positioned around Granary Square for the event.
Exhibitors include: Icons of Denmark, LSA International, Another Country, Deadgood, Ton, Morgan Furniture, Revology, Marset, TedWood, Channels, Kahler Design, Skagerak, and OMK 1965.
