We’re busy making the last minute arrangements for designjunction 2013, the only fair or exhibition that we have ever been tempted to partake in. Part of London Design Fair, designjunction returns to the abandoned 1960’s Postal Sorting Office in Holborn, a concrete monolith of a building with the original parcel shutes and conveyor belts left intact. The fair includes a powerful line-up of renowned international brands, smaller cutting-edge labels, pop-up shops, large-scale installations, eateries and flash factories. Seminars and screenings will be presented across three floors of the impressive 120,000 sq ft venue. Open Thursday 19th – Sunday 22nd September.
