Explore our thoughts on London Design Festival

Here at D4R design is the core of what we do, and we always want to support other creatives and their work. Exploring LDF is a great way to find new and existing artists and learning new skills used within the design industry.

London Design Festival (LDF) was created as an event to celebrate the design which is encapsulated in the city and attract the greatest thinkers, designers, and educators from around the country. Over 20 years later, the festival still has a strong presence within the heart of London, celebrating itself being a global destination for great design, business, culture, and innovation. Contributing to not only the economy but also the creative powerhouse.

Day one at London Design Festival allowed us to celebrate all the forms in which design exists. From handcrafted artifacts to unique artworks, there was an abundance of craft to explore. Within London there are several districts which are home to countless designers and creative businesses, altogether within the design world they are distinguishes as the Design Districts. For our first day we explored the Mayfair Design District which host’s a large collection of contemporary art galleries, fashion houses, restaurants and cultural institutions which all possess alike characteristics which contribute to the community. Over the day we visited 12 installations within the district which inspired and influenced us in more ways than one. It demonstrated an array of artisan techniques and fostered a new perspective.
