Three Days of Discovery, Connection, and Creativity

Architects, designers, and creatives from across the industry came together at Domus Clerkenwell for three days to explore, learn, and celebrate the craft and beauty of raw materials. It was a week shaped by the energy of the A&D community – a chance to socialise, spark ideas, and find inspiration in the textures, colours, and possibilities of materials like cork and clay.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our engaging and inspiring programme of talks and workshops and to those who celebrated with us at the two evening parties.

'From The Ground, Up'
Installation

Our 'From The Ground, Up' installation transformed the showroom window into an immersive exploration of materiality, celebrating the beauty, sustainability, and design potential of raw materials, with a focus on cork and clay.

This installation will remain on display in the showroom until late 2025, providing an ongoing opportunity for inspiration and discovery.

The 'From The Ground, Up' showroom installation will remain in situ at Domus Clerkenwell until late 2025 – so if you missed out at CDW, be sure to visit over the coming months.

Design Talks

Our morning and lunchtime design talks brought together industry voices to explore the future of material innovation, focusing on sustainability, craftsmanship, colour trends, and sensory design. Thank you to all who attended and engaged in these thought-provoking sessions; your curiosity and ideas made these conversations truly educational and inspirational.

Each morning, we revealed the key surface design trends shaping the future of interiors, exploring the drivers behind the colours, finishes, and textures set to gain prominence over the next 18 months.

Clay Workshops

Our clay workshops offered a hands-on experience with one of the world’s oldest materials, encouraging attendees to explore texture, form, and imagination in a relaxed setting. It was inspiring to see so many designers take a break from their desks and get their hands dirty, enjoying a playful exploration of materiality and craftsmanship.

Evening Parties

Our two VIP evening parties provided an opportunity for the A&D community to unwind, connect, and celebrate in style. With a Portuguese-inspired ambience, guests enjoyed authentic food, signature drinks, live music, and a vibrant atmosphere that brought our material story From The Ground, Up to life. Thank you to everyone who joined us – the energy and fun you brought made these evenings very special.
