London Design Fair has garnered a reputation for being a leading destination during the Festival to discover cutting-edge work and inspiration from across the world. The 2023 edition will once again feature many international pavilions including Made in Sweden (supported by the Swedish Embassy) showcasing a collection of Swedish designers exhibiting work with strong sustainable credentials, including Stamuli and Swedish Ninja. Many other international collections are to be announced over the coming months.
The LDNdesign Talks Theatre will feature an inspiring line-up of industry figures and designers – curated with the support of the design community.

The programme will feature sessions curated by partners including Architonic, darc magazine, TrendBible, Mix Interiors, Design Council, BIID, as well as exclusive designer talks and interactive workshops.
This year London Design Fair is also launching a new feature area named the Sustainable Materials Showcase. This is an exclusive selection of materials used and repurposed in an innovative way that contributes towards a global mission to better the environment. The Sustainable Materials Showcase gives London Design Fair exhibitors the chance to show their raw material, shine a spotlight on the material’s environmental credentials, and tell a story about the production process and thought process behind their finished product. Visitors will then be led back to the exhibitors’ stand space to see the finished and more polished product.
