This year, THE CONRAN SHOP was the official District hub for Marylebone. To mark the occasion, there was a Marylebone Design District party at the store on Wednesday 18 September. During the Festival, contemporary art gallerists HAUSER & WIRTH presented a curated edit of works, including designs from Conran’s 2019 edit, such as the Latis Chair by Samuel Wilkinson in Kvadrat/Raf Simons fabrics.
Chiltern Street’s COX & POWER hosted a ‘Jewellery Clambake’, an opportunity to talk all things jewellery, and bring unloved pieces to discover how they could be transformed into a precious new piece.
JO MALONE LONDON opened the doors to its Georgian Townhouse, showcasing a specially curated exhibition by artist Martyn Thompson.
Visitors brought Oliver Smart’s mechanical dragonfly to life in an interactive exhibition with workshops and talks at CIRCUS on Marylebone High Street.
Visitors experienced DASHING TWEED’S new collection in collaboration with famed tailor Dougie Millings, who used its own range of unique British woven cloth at its Dorset Street boutique.
Marylebone Design District is coordinated by The Howard de Walden Estate and The Portman Estate, the two historic estates that together protect and promote the wider Marylebone area for the benefit of residents, businesses and visitors. Both estates – which also work in partnership with the area’s Business Improvement Districts, Baker Street Quarter Partnership and Marble Arch London – have sought to develop an environment in which creative businesses can thrive. The District is supported by the Marylebone Journal, the area’s bi-monthly publication, which is distributed to 20,000 addresses in the West End.
