The exhibition will give students from over 200 creative coursesa platform to showcase never-before-seen work to thousands of industry professionals and design lovers.

The event is an opportunity for career-making connections and commissions to be made, with New Designers acting as a critical bridge between design education and professional design success.

The New Designers exhibition has a 33-year history of showcasing cutting edge design, and uncovering and launching the careers of countless design stars now working in UK design.

The exhibition will be taking overthe Business Design Centre in Islingtonfrom 27-30th June and 4-7th July.

Each of the two four-day exhibitions that make up New Designers will showcasean extensive range of work by recent graduates from leading universities and design schools, but the two weeks willhighlight a different set of design disciplines.

The first week will feature innovative design across textiles, fashion, costume design, jewellery, glass, ceramics and contemporary design crafts, while the second week showcases product, furniture, automotive, interior design, graphic design, industrial design, animation, illustration, gaming and motion arts.

There will also be an exciting programme of talks, events and workshops running alongside the two-week exhibition.

The talks and workshops have been created to complement the work on display, covering a wide range of design disciplines and interests.

One of the highlights is One Year In, a curated showcase from the most promising and intriguing designers, studios and entrepreneurs that have recently launched their own businesses.

This year, with more applications for selection than ever before, One Year In welcomes its biggest line-up to date. The breakthrough talents on show include product and graphic design companies, jewellery artists, illustrators, fashion designers and digital creators.
