This Autumn, from 4 to 5 October, the Clerkenwell Design Trail (CDT) will bring the A&D community together to re-connect and network across Clerkenwell’s historic cobbles.

The two-day programme will be jam packed with engaging events all within walking distance, allowing visitors to explore the area with ease and discover the latest cutting-edge products for commercial interiors. CDT showrooms will showcase product launches and new collections as well as host workshops, talks, demonstrations, parties and more, spotlighting Clerkenwell as the UK's most important hub for design.
Participating showrooms include high-end furniture, surfaces, acoustic specialist, kitchen and bathroom brands who will all be throwing open their doors for a series of engaging events over the two days.

Building on What's Already There As this year's LIV Hospitality Design Awards winners settle into the wider conversation, certain patterns become difficult to ignore. Properties built for warm-climate escape recur across the list. Sustainability surfaces less as a stated goal than as a working method. And several of the strongest projects are renovations rather than new builds. Read together, the winners point toward where hospitality design is heading as the year continues. Designed for the Season Several of this year's winners speak directly to the season ahead. Kona Village , on Hawaii's Big Island, reimagines an 81-acre resort around the history of Kaupulehu, led by Greg Warner and Mike McCabe of Walker Warner. The rebuilt property includes 150 traditional guest hale, a new spa, and five restaurants and bars—two of which carry over from the original resort. Rather than a wholesale reinvention, the project reads as a continuation: a property rebuilt around what made the original site significant in the first place.
