Now in its 16th year, London Design Festival took place in September and celebrated 10 years at the V&A as the official festival hub. Each year for one week London transforms itself into an inspiring programme of landmark projects, installations and events, welcoming a record-breaking 450,000 individual visitors from over 75 countries. The trade shows comprise 100% Design, Decorex (as shown in the photos), Design Junction, Focus/18 and London Design Fair – taking place in different locations across the capital. www.londondesignfestival.com
