Undoubtedly one of my favorite sections is the one dedicated to light. On the ground floor of the Cubitt House it will be possible to admire the luminous creations by many different international brands added to the spectacular light fixtures display.

The Materials

The traditional materials, like ceramic, to 3D printing, will be a particular focus of the event, dedicated to the world of materials. I want to point out that the event is specifically dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Corian.

Okay, I would say that this is everything you’ll need to prepare for the designjunction event! 🙂  Is there an activity that particularly interests you? Will you be in London during the event? In my opinion, there’s just so much to choose from, then it’s in London… what a city! Unfortunately this year I won’t be able to make it for work reasons, so if you end up going, write to me and tell me all about your experience! I’m super curious, so I’ll be waiting to hear from you!!
