Wellness, Colour & Design

A Look Back at CDW2025

As Clerkenwell Design Week closes for another year, firstly we want thank all those who attended over the three days! 

During the three-day festival, we along with Umbrella Furniture transformed our showroom into a wellness sanctuary during this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week. From puppy therapy sessions and massages to a leading panel discussion on colour and biophilia—alongside the annual Umbrella+Friends installations by top furniture design brands—visitors enjoyed a calm and insightful experience that seamlessly combined workspace and wellness.

Thank you to our Umbrella+Friends partners, Piaval, Sancal, Treku, Wendelbo, Midj, New Works, Extremis, and the architectural partner T6. 

This year wouldn’t have been the same without Puppy Yoga London for providing the most-talked about CDW event, Massage Angels for giving us a rare but much needed few minutes of downtime and Octopus Food for providing lunch and dinner over the three days, making delicious slow-cooked meats with a vibrant salad bar to fuel visitors throughout their busy Clerkenwell day.

Well done to all our panellists and chair, Alys Bryan during our engaging and thoughtful talk on ‘The Importance of Colour and Biophilia in the Workplace’. Panellists; Emma Bestley, Co-Founder and Creative Partner of YesColours; Dirk Wynants, Founder of Extremis; Pål Eid-Hviding, Head of Marketing at Fora Form; and Sam McCarthy, Head of Major Projects at PlantPlan, brought diverse expertise to the table, which was moderated by Design Insider’s Editorial Director, Alys Bryan. 

Once again, thank you for your support and see you again next year!!!
