With the Olympics safely out of the way, London is now setting its sights on design excellence
September 12th, 2012
The next few weeks see the city consumed by designer products, brands and design lovers who will exhibit, discuss and forge relationships across a string of industry focussed events.
A relatively new addition to the event calendar is designjunction. Though only two years old, this unconventional hub has already established itself as one of the country’s leading showcases for the finest selection of international design brands.

The designjunction kicks off on September the 19th and will run until 5pm on 23rd September 2012.
