Focus/16 opens at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour with its yearly contribution to London Design Festival. This year, Wallpaper* are getting involved in the action with an installation of our favourites from the new collections at the show (pictured). Photography: Jessica Klingelfuss
Since its upgrade from specialising in the decorative side of design, the west London space now harbours a refined offering of luxury design players from across the globe. Pictured: Galotti & Radice's 'Selene' vanity table
Many of the show's highlights include new pieces fresh from Salone del Mobile in Milan, like this indulgent velvet sofa from Edra
These are joined by the talks from the likes of Patricia Moroso, and a specialised exhibition that explores that narrowing bridge between art and design. Pictured: new 'Circle' carpet Rug Star at Stark Carpet
Honing in on our favourites from the show, the Wallpaper* installation is an eclectic mix of the most compelling pieces in a layered set up. Pictured: Flexform's Cogito Tavolino table
This year’s iteration promises more range than ever, with 15 new showrooms, and 127 events set across the six days. Pictured: Playful 'Jenny' and 'Jonny' side tables from Porada
And the diverse mix doesn’t stop there, Focus/16 is having a moment for craft too with a bespoke 3ft aerial installation as their centrepiece to the event, and skilled workshops from talents including RCA graduate Stuart Carey ceramics.
