UNILIN Panels is at Clerkenwell Design Week with a programme of creative and informative events that explore the central theme of nature and how it can be used to connect people with the spaces in which they work…
With a full programme of workshops, talks and live interviews, UNILIN Panels at The Gallery Clerkenwell is giving the architecture and design community the chance to explore how the natural world influences approach to the design of commercial interiors. From the supportive qualities of nature in interior materials and spatial design to the need to be active in building a sustainable future that preserves the planet for future generations, the programme has something for everyone involved in the design of today’s work, leisure and living spaces.
With Clerkenwell Design Week (CDW) scheduled to run from May 24 – 26, kicking off the programme on Tuesday afternoon, visitors to The Gallery Clerkenwell can take part in a Kokedama workshop that teaches the Japanese technique of hanging indoor plants, taking home their very own air filtering palm to hang at home. There will also be a chance to discover the latest design trends coming from the natural world in a morning talk.
The following day will start with sustainability expert Rudolph de Jong exploring how it’s possible to commit to the tough goals of Science Based Targets and still deliver powerful design. For those keen to hear opinion from peers on the topics that matter, Wednesday’s Live Interviews with Grant Gibson is not to be missed. Grant Gibson, host of the Material Matters podcast, will be chatting to Ian Mitchell and Dominic Duggan of Oktra, architecture practice BDG and other industry colleagues on a range of design related topics. Covering everything from the rise of home in office interiors to asking whether we’re becoming immune to the influence of nature, the live interview series promises some interesting conversations.
With London’s famous Utter Waffle serving up breakfast waffles street side on Thursday morning and a selection of loaded fries for the afternoon, UNILIN Panels is staying close to its Belgium roots for the final day of Clerkenwell Design Week. Thursday is a chance to explore the new 2022-2026 decorative collection and have your questions answered by the team before the guestlist-only closing party with drinks and a live DJ begins.
Visit the Eventbrite programme to book workshops and talks and to join the closing party guestlist.
