The London Design Festival (not to be confused with the London Design Fair, which will be participating in the Festival) has five "Design Destinations": key events for designers and manufacturers in the industry.

Focus/16 at the Design Centre
The Focus/16 interior design show is held at the Design Centre at Chelsea Harbour during the London Design Festival (September 18-21). For the 2016 edition, over 100 events and 120 international exhibitions will take place with the objective of inspiring visitors with "the latest collection launches, connecting with design connoisseurs and seeing creative invention up close."

Decorex & LDF
For the first time, this year the London Design Fair (the umbrella brand for Tent London and Super Brands London) will partner with the luxury design show Decorex International, the UK's longest-running show of its kind. The shows will run consecutively: Decorex (held in Syon Park, London) will be open from 18-21 September and the London Design Fair (the Old Truman Brewery, east London) from 22-25 September. Trade visitors will be able to access both with one ticket.

100% Design
Held at the Olympia from 21-24 September, for 2016 the 100% Design show has selected the theme of "Experience" in design. Specially-commissioned art installations will decorate the event space, and a series of popular seminars on trends in contemporary practice and the future of design will be run by the Design Museum as part of a glimpse into its calendar when it reopens on November 24.

Designjunction
In partnership with the architectural firm Argent, the commercial and cultural design platform designjunction is moving to a new location in King's Cross, London. The new premises will be showcased during the London Design Festival from 22 to 25 September, featuring over 200 contemporary brands, exhibitions, installations, retail experiences and workshops under the theme #ImmersedinDesign.
