Which events in Clerkenwell are essential for design enthusiasts to attend?

Below is a list of essential events design for design enthusiasts to attend during the Clerkenwell Design Week. These range from a Creative Mending Workshop to a Conversation with Mary Portas and a Lino Printing Workshop.

When Czechian-based insurance business Renomia was creating a new office space the well-being and comfort of Remomia’s employees was central to the design. The new workplace needed to be an inviting and productive space that would allow employees to thrive. The design team chose to incorporate Milliken’s biophilic inspired flooring, bringing the outside in and boosting comfort, creativity and productivity.

Urgent climate action isn’t just about protecting the planet but about creating healthier spaces for people as well. Responsible design decisions can help accelerate the way to a more sustainable circular future. At NatWest’s Manchester office sustainable design drove decision making. That’s why the team chose Milliken flooring, renowned for its sustainability credentials and its ability to support a circular future.

Milliken’s brand new capsule floor tile collection ‘The Sisal Edit’ draws its inspiration from the tactility and textures of plant fibres, in particular: sisal, seagrass, and jute. The collection is led by a natural aesthetic, neutral colours and biophilic design, but interpreted for more practical use in heavy wear environments such as the workplace or hospitality interiors.

Milliken Floors Europe is pleased to announce they will take part in Clerkenwell Design Week, which will be held from the 19^th to the 21^st of May 2026.

Mainstream schools educate the majority of autistic children, yet many learning environments are not designed with sensory processing differences in mind. While some design strategies can be integrated into existing mainstream settings, others are more commonly found within specialist schools, where environments are purposefully shaped around neurodivergent needs. By examining where mainstream schools fall short and drawing on principles proven in specialist autism schools, this blog explores how thoughtful design can better support autistic children’s well-being, independence and ability to learn.

When Milliken launched the Pattern Play collection at last year’s Clerkenwell Design Week, it was a moment of excitement and a massive shift in possibilities for what could be achieved in modular carpet design. As well as winning the CDW 2025 Carpet Product Award, it also won the hearts of interior designers who could see the collection’s enormous design potential.

Milliken Flooring, a leading provider of innovative commercial flooring solutions, is delighted to announce its participation in the Workspace Design Show London 2026.

Workplace well-being is an increasingly important consideration in office design, with building standards such as WELL being centred on environments that support occupant health & well-being. With this, biophilic design has become more prevalent aiming to introduce calming, nature-inspired elements into a workplace. Flooring inspired by natural timber and stone aesthetics aligns well with the shift towards wellness-focused spaces. However, with concerns over rising noise levels and their impact on employee comfort and productivity, there's uncertainty over the suitability of hard flooring in office environments. In this blog, we're exploring whether luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is suitable for offices and outlines five key considerations to help you select the right LVT for your space.

The choice of carpet tile backing is a key factor when it comes to the durability of your flooring. Backing type also affects the underfoot comfort and acoustic capabilities, making it a really important decision when choosing flooring. That said it can be difficult to find relevant information on the different types of carpet backing available and it’s often a struggle to decipher the scientific jargon. This blog simplifies and explains the options so you can be sure you choose the right backing for your next project.
