A look at the interior design stars at Clerkenwell Design Week

|

Clerkenwell Design Week is where creative businesses and architects come together to explore the industry’s most exciting innovations

London-based Clerkenwell Design Week offers an impressive line-up of over 600 showroom events, 11 curated exhibitions, forward-thinking talks and too many striking installations to count.

This year’s edition boasts the most extensive programme to date, featuring a greater number of exhibition venues, brands, showrooms and installations than ever before. We take a look at some top interiors, textiles and furniture exhibitors across this impressive three-day show.

Granite + Smoke

Bold, joyful, ethical and sustainable – the four words that founders Lindsey Hesketh and Claire Canning use to epitomize their brand, which creates harmony between architecture and textiles. Granite + Smoke makes contemporary enduring homewares, from luxury throws woven on Jacquard looms to cushions made with ethically sourced cashmere and recycled lamb’s wool.

The creative duo is based between Aberdeen in Scotland and London. At Clerkenwell Design Week 2024, they will introduce new hand-tufted rugs created in collaboration with Roger Oates Design. Crafted from 100% British blended wool, each rug undergoes meticulous hand-finishing in Devon after being spun and dyed in Yorkshire.

Venue: British Collection, St James Church

Manuela Cabrales

Sustainable wearables and home décor brand Manuela Cabrales was conceived from a profound love for nature, a fascination with the world’s cultural diversity, and a belief in discovering beauty and deeper meanings in everyday objects.

Co-founders Manuela Cabrales and Jason Kim are committed to sourcing unconventional and unique materials – for example, lotus fiber, orange peels, and banana fiber. Each material must undergo intricate extraction and handcrafted treatment by skilled artisans and craftsmen from diverse communities and ethnic groups.

This promising young brand integrates traditional techniques with new designs, aiming to showcase not only crafts but their respective cultures and traditions too. Catch them in ‘Platform’ at Clerkenwell Design Week.
