The 3 biggest trends from Clerkenwell Design Week 2024

We partnered with Orangebox to showcase our TopBrewer Pro commercial coffee machine, and the showroom was a hub of activity throughout the week, drawing designers, architects, and design enthusiasts eager to explore the latest in interior design trends. Our coffee and pastry offering became a popular spot for attendees to take a break, network, and recharge amidst the bustling atmosphere of CDW. The iced lattes were a big hit, providing a refreshing treat that complemented the creative energy of the event.

Our participation in Clerkenwell Design Week 2024 was not just about showcasing our coffee solutions but also about engaging with the vibrant design community. The interactions we had and the feedback we received were invaluable, reinforcing the importance of such gatherings in fostering innovation and collaboration within the design industry.
