Focus/17

Focus/17 is universally recognised as a primary design destination for designers, architects and decision-makers who descended for a dizzying week of experiential events and collection launches. Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour has long been a catalyst of creative connections and showrooms reported a rise in global visitors, especially from the USA, Italy and Asia. Focus/17’s intention was to explore a 360 degree approach to design, and sharing ideas with influencers, established makers, emerging innovators and luxury brands was at the heart of it all. An incredible line-up of 125 experiences – from workshops, demonstrations and discovery tours to meet the designer sessions – delivered on emerging trends and the latest design practices, while at the acclaimed Conversations in Design sessions international names like Patricia Urquiola shared their knowledge to capacity audiences.
