Get inspired at Clerkenwell Design Week 2015

Who’s really challenging the status quo in flooring design? What amazing designs will a partnership between a leading flooring company and a fashion house produce? How has nature inspired flooring design?

Find out the answers to these and many more creative questions at Clerkenwell Design Week, an award-winning independent festival that’s a showcase for the best design brands from across the world.

The festival takes place in various venues across Clerkenwell; truly one of the world’s most important design hubs, being home to more firms of architects and creative agencies per square mile than anywhere else.

Running from 19-21 May, the festival – now in its sixth year – comprises exciting pop-up exhibitions, exclusive events and one-off installations.

This year, some of FLR Group’s flooring partners will be among the 300 innovative design brands showcasing their products and hosting talks. So if you’re in the area, why not swing by and take a look. Or if you’re already going, be sure you don’t miss the following:

Milliken

The theme of each of the festival’s three days will be based around one of Milliken’s latest collection of carpet tiles. They’ve also revamped their studio, making it the place to go for creative workshops and stimulating design talks from leading experts.

Bolon
