The 2015 edition of 100% Design, taking place from 23rd-26th September, will occupy a new home, Olympia London. Staged in the Grand and West halls, the show will take place across two levels and feature five distinct sections including Interiors, Design & Build, Kitchens & Bathrooms, Workplace and Emerging Brands. The talks programme, Talks with 100% Design, will also return with headline speakers including Ilse Crawford.
William Knight, show director, comments: "It's another significant and exciting year for 100% Design. We're set for the most visually dramatic edition, bringing the UK's leading design show to a new home for the first time in 17 years. The natural light, intimacy and high-quality visitor experience at Olympia London, blended with the focused and original content of the show, promises to be a brilliant and stimulating combination."
100% Design continues to attract record numbers of visitors year on year. Its 2014 edition attracted over 28,300 attendees, a 36% increase in total footfall since show organiser Media 10 acquired the show in 2011. Last year, the total number of exhibitors also rose to 450.
Based upon the central theme Design in Colour, 100% Design 2015 has collaborated closely with trend forecaster WGSN among others to bring to life the visual and sensual experience of using colour across interiors and the build environment. The show will present specially commissioned editorial features, seminars and live content, alongside over 400 UK and international exhibitors.
