THE sLEEP sET
Structured as a competition, the Sleep Set translates the year’s
theme into physical form with leading architecture and design
companies creating sets that range from the deeply allusive to
immaculately detailed, hotel-ready rooms. This year the global
reach and cross-disciplinary portfolios of the four participants
is assured to bring a wide spectrum of cultural, geographic and
industry perspectives to the mix. They are New York’s Stonehill
& Taylor, London-based MKV Design, Italian company, Il Prisma,
and 1508 London. The teams will present their case during the
conference and the winner will be announced at lunchtime on Day
Two. Sleep’s cross-cultural approach is also reflected in this year’s
Sleeper Bar, which is being created by Moscow-based Design &
Architecture Studio, Sundukovy Sisters.
Sleep will be held at the Business Design Centre from 10am-
8.30pm on Tuesday 21st November, including evening drinks, and
from 10am-6pm on Wednesday 22nd November.
