Clerkenwell Design Week 2026
Events, News, Stories
This May, we welcome Clerkenwell Design Week back to Bastwick Street with a refreshed showroom, new product launches and a special edition of our sixteen3 Salon series, asking what role design can play in difficult times.
Our showroom will be thoughtfully reworked for the festival, reflecting our interpretation of wider design shifts and the conversations we’ve shared with industry friends over the past twelve months. A new layout, drawing on spatial strategies from the various sectors we work across, will create a flexible series of districts that come together cohesively. Fresh fabrics, finishes and textures, selected in response to evolving palettes and material directions across interiors, bring a renewed visual language to the space, while remaining true to the sixteen3 spirit.
New Products
As part of our ongoing exploration of conscious materials, we are launching our first foam-free product within the Otto collection. This natural-fibre sofa uses coir and horsehair to create a distinct feel and construction, while retaining the range’s design clarity. Its arrival broadens the Otto offering and adds another strand to our wider sustainability efforts
Our Milo coffee table collection expands with new geometries that build on the range’s established design language. Shaped by customer conversations, these additions open up new combinations that complement a variety of seating scales and layouts.
We’re also unveiling a new Artus booth that refines construction detailing and moves towards a more integrated built-in solution. Simpler to specify, it continues to connect seamlessly with the wider Artus system.
