The London Design Festival was conceived by Sir John Sorrell and Ben Evans. Building on London's existing design activity, their concept was to create an annual event that would promote the city's creativity, drawing in the country's greatest thinkers, practitioners, retailers and educators to deliver an unmissable celebration of design.

Below are highlights of Twentieth's designers and their contributions to this years London Design Festival.

TOM DIXON Eight weeks in the making Tom Dixon's Multiplex is an immersive, "multi-sensory department store of tomorrow", divided into sections dedicated to technology, art, cars, food, and fashion. Called Multiplex because of its layers, it is an exciting new take on both the concept of a department store and the concept of a pop-up, aimed to predict "the future of shopping" and immersing visitors senses in sound, smell, taste, and feel.

The London Design Festival is home to Tom Dixon.
