In the centre of Workplace, and the show, Studio Design UK has devised a stunning Central Bar for 100% Design 2015. Working in tandem with material sponsors Perspex® Acrylic Brand, the design team has created a dynamic, coloured, suspended structure that is an impressive and aesthetically beautiful interpretation of this year's creative campaign. At the heart of Kitchens & Bathrooms this year’s feature café, Half-Three Café is a contemporary take on an English tradition – a multi-sensory experience of taste, aroma and colour, celebrating a broad selection of tea. The cafe is designed by Daniel Rous of Fabrica, with tea by Twinings. Interactive installation, Mattergarden can also be found within Design & Build - a stratum inspired structure intended as a tactile platform for the exploration of contemporary and future materials, as well as treatments and applications for use in design and architecture. Talks at 100% Design this year examines the power of colour. Together with the visual, the programme examines the other senses too – how through touch, smell, sound and taste, our lives can be positively influenced by design to create stimulating environments that improve productivity and creativity while supporting us emotionally. Speakers include Ilse Crawford, Winny Maas, Lyndon Neri, Morag Myerscough and Rogier van der Heide. 100% Design Alongside this host of activity over 400 exhibitors including Tafaruci Design, Vitra, Sé, BuzziSpace, Steelcase, Tom Raffield, Sottini, Designheure, DUISTT, Joined + Jointed, Original BTC, Porcelanosa, Bette, Joined + Jointed, The Reclaimed Flooring Company, ZUCCHETTI, Formica Group, Barrisol Normalu S.A.S and Charles Lethaby Lighting, will showcase their exciting new collections.
