Hey everyone, it's Jess here from Collaborate Furniture! 👋 We’ve just wrapped up an incredible 3 days at Clerkenwell Design Week 2024, and I’m brimming with inspiration and new insights. As someone new to the industry, the insights shared by experts have introduced me to innovative techniques and alternative ways of thinking about furniture design. One standout for me was discovering ‘Smile Plastic’—tables made from 100% recycled plastic and themselves 100% recyclable! 🌍 This material truly showcases the future of sustainable design. I also attended an enlightening talk at Orangebox on Inclusive Design. It emphasised the importance of making workspaces and public areas accessible and comfortable for everyone. Thoughtful design isn't just about aesthetics; it enhances wellbeing and productivity too. A visit to the Senator showroom was another highlight. They had a fascinating wall of small stools, each crafted from different materials with their carbon dioxide emissions detailed. It was a powerful reminder that we can choose environmentally conscious materials without sacrificing functionality. And speaking of innovative design, my favourite piece was the Vika floor screen by Abstracta. Its dual function as both an acoustic panel and a soft lighting feature was unique and impressive, unlike anything else I saw at the event. Thank you, Clerkenwell Design Week, for such an inspiring experience! Can't wait to bring these fresh ideas back to Collaborate Furniture. 💡 #CollaborateFurniture #ClerkenwellDesignWeek #CDW2024
