London Design Festival has inspired and united top design professionals, educators, retailers, and thinkers for over 20 years.
Its founders, Sir John Sorrell CBE and Ben Evans CBE established the festival in 2003 with the goal of showcasing the city’s creativity.
With the support of various organizations, the inaugural event took place at Bloomberg on March 25, 2003. Today, the festival’s vision remains as powerful as ever, driving innovation and creativity in the design industry.
London Design Festival celebrates and promotes the city as a design capital on the global stage.
We are very excited that this year, LDF’s Landmark Project will be located a stone’s throw away from our London studio, within the beautiful St Paul’s Cathedral.
‘Aura’ by Spanish artist Pablo Valbuena transforms the sounds present in St. Paul’s Cathedral into a pulsating line of light projected at an architectural scale. The installation approaches what a temple means today and examines the potential of time, sound and light to create contemporary rituals.
Aura, also in association with Artichoke and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, is a live installation that transforms the sounds present in the cathedral into a pulsating line of light projected at an architectural scale. The piece is deeply intertwined with the context and fabric of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece. It introduces new ideas while seamlessly integrating into the building and its daily life as if it had been part of the original design.
This installation is free to the public, and information on how to access tickets will be released here.
