CLERKENWELL DESIGN WEEK

Three to see at this annual celebration of the capital’s design talent, from 24-26 May (clerkenwelldesignweek.com)

1. One of Clerkwenwell’s busiest hubs, Design Fields is a showcase with a global scope. Be sure to catch a glimpse of the bold new ‘Block’ sofa by Rotterdam-based designer Sabine Marcelis for Natuzzi Italia.

2. Head to the atmospheric St James’s Church for British Collection, which will include fresh ideas from the likes of Benchmark and Another Country. We’ve set our sights on London-based lighting company Hand & Eye Studio.

3. This year’s Conversations at Clerkenwell will be housed in a bandstand-style pavilion designed by Fieldwork Architects. Catch lively debates on queer spaces and the revitalisation of our town centres.
