Take a peek into the future at the 2021 London Design Festival at V&A: Coming this September

The world-leading Victoria and Albert Museum of Art & Design (V & A) and the premier London Design Festival (LDF) have announced their highly anticipated 2021 festival. LDF will beautifully celebrate the merging of design and innovation in response to climate change and the covid-19 pandemic, among other challenges facing society.

The Festival

The 19th instalment of the London Design Festival is one of the essential calendar events in the long awaited 2021 autumn creative season, alongside London Fashion Week and the London Film Festival. 

Auroboros London Design Festival

The London Design Festival is set to begin on the 18th of September at the V & A museum and will run through September 26th. You will have one week to experience instalments like the world’s first robot artist, Ai-Da. Ai-da will be featured in couture by Auroboros; an innovative triumph you will need to perceive for yourself. 

Expect Innovation

Additionally, you will encounter the innovation of V & A’s low carbon aluminium Pavillion – it may even trick your eye into believing that this architectural breakthrough is floating on the water of V & A’s John Madejski Garden. The installation, Between Forests and Skies, makes a point to prove the resilience and strength of aluminium as a material. 

The iconic LDF takeover will allow you to look at the historic V & A museum in an exciting and unfamiliar state. What is always a deeply insightful and thought-provoking experience at V & A will be unconventionally more so during festival week. The world observed festival will open a curtain to our future.

Experience The Impact of Design

When you attend LDF, you also support its mission to open the public’s eye to the potential of creative and cultural design. LDF believes this kind of deliberate exploration with innovation will aid the process in kick-starting London’s economy and revitalise the capital. Even in 2020, LDF provided a space to open dialogue and connection between businesses, individuals and the creator sector as a whole.
