New London listings service – This At There


This At ThereIt’s Nice That, which publishes exciting, original and engaging work from both established names and talented newcomers, has produced a new listings service for London.

Called This At There, the listing service is a re-invention of their old ‘whats-on’ focused currently on Art and Design events in London. The listings are put in order of when they finish, so hopefully you won’t miss the shows you really want to see.

They are looking to roll it out worldwide eventually with more cities being added later this year, but by keeping it London focused will allow them to keep on top of it for now and work out any teething problems.

Two new interiors shows to open in London in 2013


DXTwo new interior design trade fairs are set to open their doors in London next year.

In a brave move in a market that has seen the demise of several shows, including Design Prima, in recent years Office Interiors at Earls Court and DX, at Excel, will avoid the September Interiors scrum focussing on the beginning of the year.

Office Interiors is organised by Diversified Business Communications and will be held on 13th and 14th February. The organisers present the show as a ’vibrant, fresh and exciting new event dedicated to the UK’s office interior industry’. 

DX is organised by UBM and launched by Ian Rudge, co-founder of the 100% Design and Tent shows, in collaboration with graphic designer Neville Brody and architect Ad Rogers. The show will focus on the relationship between design and technology and will be at Excel on 19th and 21st May 2013.

For those of you who appreciate innovative and creative design as much as we do, especially when it is around the corner from the Think Tank Office, we wish to share that the dates for Clerkenwell Design Week have now been officially set for 24-26 May 2011.

Look forward to the return to The Farmiloe Building on St John Street in 2011. This year the exhibition will be even bigger with the elegant building, once the home of Victorian lead and glass merchants, set  to house some of the most exciting names in design! Exhibitions include the House of Detention, a Victorian prison, hosting an international design exhibition for the diverse and most innocative contemporary talent. The nature of both spaces will ensure the product is presented in new and creative ways and will act as a canvas for site specific installations.
