London Design Festival comes to Soho for the first time
(UK) – London Design Festival includes London’s Soho District. Known for its artistic scene, diverse community, and influence on design, Soho will be a hub for events, installations, talks, and collaborations that reflect the district’s identity and its evolving role in London’s built environment.
From the 12-20 of September, London Design Festival will bring together some of the built environment’s most influential voices. Featuring participation from leading architects, F&D specialists, PR and branding agencies, property investors and developers, property management firms, construction and fit-out experts, alongside a wider network of creatives, makers and innovators shaping the future of the city.
CEO of Informare, Anna King, comments: “We are looking forward to building Soho into the tapestry of the London Design Festival. With the fantastic range of architects, designers and craftsmen, it is the perfect hub for bringing together the creative community of Soho. The enthusiasm for the Soho District at LDF this year has been extraordinary – when we made our first eight calls to potential partners, we got eight immediate ‘yes’ responses, which reinforces the energy in this area where the landlords and developers share a passion for this unique part of London. With our office base and headquarters of the Soho District for this year, on Great Chapel Street, we know how vibrant this corner of London is and how pivotal it is in the influence of trends, design, and beyond.”
When planning the visual identity for the Soho District, Nicky Young, Creative Director of Informare, explains: “The Soho District identity takes its visual cues from elements of the red-light district, glowing neon signage and rebellious counterculture. It reflects the rich cultural history, capturing some of the boldness of the music and creative industries that have defined Soho over the past century.”
Through a curated series of experiences, the district will showcase the intersection of design, culture, commerce and community, highlighting Soho’s longstanding reputation as a place where creativity and collaboration thrive. The introduction of Soho to the London Design Festival reinforces the district’s significance as both a historic cultural hub and a forward-looking centre for innovation and design excellence.
