Now in its eighth year, designjunction has firmly established its reputation for transforming some of the most exciting and ambitious locations in London into premier design destinations, attracting 28,000 visitors in 2017.DJ LONDON_ICONS OF DENMARK_Form Sofa webIn collaboration with Coin Street Community Builders (CSCB) – a local social enterprise which owns and manages Oxo Tower Wharf, the Doon Street site and the Riverside Walkway – designjunction will present an exhibition of world class design in this world class location.

Centrally located and surrounded by iconic London architecture, this landmark destination attracts an estimated 25 million visitors each year. Through the work of CSCB, the area has been transformed from a largely derelict, 13-acre site into a thriving mixed-use neighbourhood.

“designjunction has always sought to identify architecturally stunning backdrops to present the best global design. By working with CSCB, we’re putting our brands in the centre of a thriving mixed use neighbourhood, whilst providing visitors with a unique show experience. We look forward to contributing to this exciting area.”

– designjunction’s managing director, Will Sorrell.

From September 20-23, designjunction will present hundreds of product launches, boutique pop-up shops, bespoke installations, tempting street food and purpose-built bars across three key exhibition spaces; Oxo Tower Wharf, the Doon Street site and Riverside Walkway.DJ_LONDON_BrosteCopenhagen_Chairs1The Doon Street site will house 200 international design brands and premium pop-up shops.
