The whole King’s Cross area will be dedicated to design, including Granary Square, The Crossing, Cubitt House and Cubitt Park, The Canopy and The Office Group. Granary Square is the design ‘plaza’ with temporary installations and parties. This year it will host an immersive piece by Turkishceramics and several small booths featuring partnerships, like the one between Renault and Central Saint Martins.

Campari will take Milan to London with an ‘aperitivo’ boat and there will be pop-up bars and restaurants. The Crossing will play home to installations and partnership projects, including a collaboration with Rado, and The Cubitts will host international and luxury furniture and lighting brands. The Canopy is where the designers’ pop-up shops are, featuring emerging labels and brands. Lastly, The Office Group will host a two-days design talks and discussions.

Among the special partnerships Renault will unveil the results of a competition launched with Central Saint Martins MA Industrial Design students on the ways in which cars may be used and shared in the future. In Granary Square there will also be a prototype of the award-winning concept Renault TreZor car. A second collaboration is with watch brand Rado, who will announce the winners of the Rado Star Prize UK named “Design meets Time” at The Canopy. Campari will host a two-week residency in King’s Cross themed “Campari Creates Masterclasses”.
