Enlightned Design is part of the London Design Festival, which will be held from 19 to 22 September 2018. Previous editions Connecting the Dots during this exhibition also presented itself in special buildings, respectively in an authentic seventeenth century mansion now used as a film location, and The Crypt Gallery, the former crypt of the St Pancras Parish Church. This year the Dutch designers are situated in the center of the beating design heart, in the exhibition building Olympia London, right next to 100% Design. Both exhibitions are part of the new, lively and busy area of West Kensington Design District, where you can also find the Design Museum and the V & A. Read more about the five selected designers underneath.

Enlightened Design history
During the London Design Festival 2016, Connecting the Dots organised the first edition of Enlightened Design in a dark, slightly decrepit 15-room, 18th-century Georgian merchant house in Spitalfields. The exhibition was well received by the public, the press and the exhibitors.

The second edition took place in the Crypt Gallery under the St Pancras Paris Church near King’s Corss Station, a dark and humid space under the ground; a briliant space for light design.
