What’s on this Clerkenwell Design Week?

This Clerkenwell Design Week, we invite you to explore the geometries of spacetime through wax, fresco, and metal. 

Laboratory, designed by Holloway Li in collaboration with Refin and Solus, allows you to explore microcosms hidden in ordinary materials through experimental photography. This interactive installation recreates the principles that drive Refin’s innovation lab. Create authentic and original designs from the unseen tiny worlds all around us.  

We have some fantastic events lined up, from workshops and tasting to panel talks and parties. Explore the full programme:
