designjunction brings immersive design experiences and its first open-air party to King's Cross

designjunction (22 – 25 September) is set to transform its new home in King’s Cross into one destination full of immersive design concepts and stimulating experiences.

On Wednesday 21 September designjunction will host its first open-air party on Granary Square alongside headline partner Dezeen, and sponsored by EIZO. Expect street food from Real Food Festival, pop-up bars and live DJ sets from Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip and Adventures in Paradise.

Throughout the show, the centrally located Granary Square will be home to eight giant Monopoly-style houses, filled with conceptual installations, creative projects and live activities.

Presenting its SmartHouzz concept, Houzz will demonstrate how to maximise urban living space through smart design, smart use of space and smart technology. Leading high-end kitchen and bathroom manufacturer, Dornbracht, will create an immersive installation – the Dornbracht Water Experience.

Specialising in visually accurate, colour correct monitors and display systems, EIZO will invite visitors to step into its EIZO ColourLab.

VITA Copenhagen’s mobile lighting showroom – VITA Van - enables visitors to immerse themselves in the world of Danish design, amongst some of the brand’s iconic styles such as the EO.

Housed in a spectacular exhibition space designed by leading architect Ab Rogers, Dyslexic Design will feature a range of new and existing work from leading designers including Sebastian Bergne, Terence Woodgate, Kristjana S Williams, Tom Raffield, Tina Crawford, Rohan Chhabra, Tiphaine Dugast and Bethan Laura Wood – all of whom are dyslexic.

Not Another Bill – which delivers a carefully curated surprise present in the post every month – will offer visitors to Granary Square the opportunity to send a surprise (and free) postcard daily at the show.

Visitors to designjunction can also join The Architectural Review’s campaign against the phenomenon known as Notopia by visiting the magazine’s dedicated house on Granary Square where they can sketch, draw or scribble their suggestions for change that will make a great city.

Innovative design studio, four23, will create a playful, interactive installation featuring a 360 film which explores the relationship between our physical surroundings and our ability to think, daydream and create.
