Design Junction London

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.

Taking over a deserted 1960’s postal sorting office, the edgy vibe is the result of a conscious and engaging step away from the banality of many trade show environments.

120,000 square feet of space across three expansive levels will play host to over 100 brands from around the world – incorporating large installations, pop-up eateries, entertainment zones and workshops.

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

WORKPLACE :: A @Millikenfloorsanz carpet sample pr

WORKPLACE :: A @Millikenfloorsanz carpet sample provided inspiration for the colourful fit-out of the Ultimate Security head office in Sydney. @inspiredspacesaus and Milliken closely collaborated to bring the vibrant vision to life.

Inspiration can sometimes spring from surprising places – and for the vibrant fit-out for the new Ultimate Security headquarters in Sydney’s Concord, it came from a Milliken carpet sample. The brief to interior design studio Inspired Spaces was to create an open-plan workplace to serve the company both now and in the future, with additional space that would be attractive as a leasing destination and allow for expansion.

The result is a visually exciting scheme across the 2,000-square-metre space, elevated through a bold approach to colour. The monochromatic backdrop – think greys and whites offset by graphic black crittal-style window frames and shelving for verdant greenery – comes to life through pops of warm oranges, yellow, and reds that echo the colours in the Milliken carpet.

Milliken’s Creo range evokes the famous street art of Brazil and – in keeping with the company’s focus on giving designers choices that allow them to express themselves – is offered in three colourways and three pattern families.
