Style Edit London Design Week

March 19, 2025

London Design Week 2025 brought fresh and eclectic energy of interior design style ideas, sustainable practices, and artistic expression. In the heart of Chelsea, a provocative array of showrooms,  installations, masterclasses, and roundtable discussions celebrated bold creativity and authentic craftsmanship.

New patterns, interesting dialogues, and intentional narratives reared their heads through concepts of sustainability, timeless design, and punchy statements.  The aim to bring forth signature personalities in design with mindful responsibility for a rapidly changing world was one of the underlying themes in many of the new designs and products.

Originality in design, depth of colors, and subtle textures for visual interest are at the top of our list for this edition of London Design Week.

Meaningful Design Narratives

There were undeniable influences of retro vintage revival and Art Deco jewel tones. As we dove deeper into London Design Week, the standout theme of Artisanal Luxury was tangible. The design industry is responding to consumers who are now craving more authentic, handcrafted designs while sustainability is reshaping and redefining the luxury space.

This presents a wider scope for innovation to play a more present role as upcycling and repurposing trends interplay with a fusion of innovation, heritage craftsmanship, and contemporary aesthetics in thought-provoking designs.

 

Curating Personality

UK nomadic gallery concept The Tagli features their three-dimensional artistic expression manifestations that drew from the avant-garde art of Argentine painter and sculptor Lucio Fontana.

What we appreciate about The Tagli (the ‘cuts’ in Italian), is their active role in championing forward-thinking artists to bring personality through artistic expression into home design. Curating your creative expression for your home through art is a concept that highly resonates with our design team as we source art far and wide for all of our projects.

The Art of Timeless Design

One of our favourite British timeless furniture suppliers Julien Chichester showcased his new Spring/Summer 2025 collection.

What we love about Chichester pieces is the subtle interplay between originality and functionality which stand the test of time. His designs are joyful and infuse the feeling of lighthearted kindness which is one of the intentional values that we infuse into our interior designs for our clients.

Outdoor Joie de Vivre

We love the selection of new outdoor fabrics especially by Nobilis. Outdoor fabrics have come a long way in design as people are enjoying more outdoor/indoor living lifestyles.

Nobilis’ new sophisticated woven textures are simply remarkable. Their diverse collection of outdoor fabrics infuses the elegance of the French spirit that we all love so much, especially for outdoor spaces that are sophisticated and light with a refreshing aire of whimsy. La joie de vivre.

Pattern Recognitions

Whether it is rugs, drapes, or wall coverings, the visual interest in this year’s edition of London Design Week was notably alluring and appealing.

We found more bold and playful combinations of pattern designs with stylish color schemes and tonalities for mood-enhancing spaces.

Entertaining Inspirations

Entertaining at home is more present than ever, especially after the pandemic. The bar area has undergone a revival and is a fabulous way to create a space that is a stunning conversation piece.

We recently created a wine bar for our Amercian clients in Paris who love wine and entertaining. Creating a convivial and stylish bar area has increasingly become a part of most of our client’s interior design briefs. Bar areas or lounges are the perfect place to enjoy after a long day or when having friends over.

They are easy spaces to glam up or to keep minimal and classy and the perfect place to infuse your unique personality.

The 2025 edition of London Design Week was teeming with energy and creative inspiration. Our team of designers was delighted to meet with some of our favorite suppliers and engage with new innovative suppliers and fresh new products to look at.

As landscapes continue to shift and evolve, design is the one place where there is always room for new conversations and ideas to explore and emerge.
