London Design Festival expands with Soho district and Polish showcases

The London Design Festival features new developments across the city, including the introduction of Soho as its own Design District. This area hosts a mix of established names in furniture and lighting, such as Heal’s and Artemide, alongside independent makers and galleries.

Polish designers are also making a significant impact through the Mayfair Design District and Shoreditch Design Week. Supported by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the Polish Cultural Institute in London, the Curated Connections exhibition series showcases Polish craftsmanship. Featured works include sculptural pieces by Zieta Studio, industrial designs by Tomek Rygalik, and ceramic art by Aneta Kocia, aiming to foster a dialogue between the Polish and London design communities.
