What to See on Day 2 of Clerkenwell Design Week 2026

A sensory installation titled The Secret Garden reimagines the traditional English garden through materiality in architecture, featuring Tile of Spain ceramics from multiple brands. Design Dialogues includes a panel on designing for Gen Alpha, focusing on how hybrid physical and digital environments will shape education, housing, and public space. Another panel examines how ECONYL regenerated nylon and the R2R program support international sustainability certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, and WELL via a circular economy approach. A session on iterative advantage connects prototyping with AI-assisted workflows to improve outcomes and strengthen client understanding and trust. Happenings include The Italian Hospitality, a curated installation by Giulio Cappellini emphasizing industrial production and artisanal craftsmanship, and Recreatura, a binaural sonic installation by Alicia Waibel and Evi.
