MAGAZINE LONDON
GREENWICH PENINSULA
Recognising London’s profound influence over Architecture and Design specification, [d]arc room pop-up @ Design London (previously 100% Design) is a new and enhanced event experience underpinned by the wealth of knowledge of both [d]arc media and Media 10, organisers of Design London.
In previous editions of 100% Design, the lighting contingent was sporadically positioned throughout the exhibition.
This year will see [d]arc room pop-up as an established lighting area within Design London giving lighting specifiers a destination within a destination.
In addition, [d]arc awards installations will be displayed at Design London for the duration of the event with a [d]arc night party on 22 September.
Featuring a highly curated selection of brands, [d]arc room pop-up @ Design London provides a unique in-person platform to meet with leading lighting designers, architects, interior designers, developers and retailers at what will be the must-attend event during London Design Festival and the first in-person lighting exhibition of the year in the UK.
