Designed to be a truly global affair, London Design Fair 2018 will feature the strongest presence of international exhibitors to date- including 8 designers selected by the Dubai Design District.

Held at the Old Truman Brewery 20-23 September, twelve country pavilions and one very special guest country—Japan—will exhibit an impressive array of products, alongside a smart international line-up of independent designers and brands.
