In this special edition of Space by Stansons, Guy heads out into Clerkenwell Design Week to capture the ideas, trends, and conversations shaping the design industry right now. Designers, makers, and exhibitors share what they’re hoping to discover, the products catching their attention, and the changes they’d like to see in the workplace of the future.  

A recurring theme throughout the day is the return of boldness. From colourful palettes and statement furniture to innovative materials and standout details, many designers talk about moving beyond safe, neutral schemes in search of something more expressive and inspiring.  

The episode also explores how design can create more inclusive experiences. One exhibitor discusses an installation designed around colour vision deficiency, encouraging visitors to experience how different people perceive the same environment and sparking conversations around accessibility and neurodiversity.  

Along the way, Guy uncovers perspectives on sustainability, biophilic design, creativity, and the importance of designing spaces that connect people. From paint inspired by ice cream flavours to visions of public buildings transformed by nature, the episode offers a snapshot of the ideas energising the design community today.  

A fast-paced tour of Clerkenwell Design Week, packed with fresh thinking, emerging trends, and the people pushing the industry forward.
