Designersblock curates and produces international shows alongside major design events and trade shows, achieving significant media profile and industry acclaim.

Shows take place in transitional architectural spaces and, since the company's launch in 1998, over 380 companies and individuals have chosen Designersblock as a platform to promote themselves to an international audience.

Designersblock provides a high profile and respected platform from which to promote design products and services to an international and UK audience of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, architects, specifiers, opinion formers, journalists, gallery curators, institutions, trade shows, designers, stylists, interior designers, public relations companies, branding and communications agencies, promoters, media and public.

Inclusion in a Designersblock show provides access to industry contacts built up and maintained over 7 years of international design shows and design related events.

Over the past 3 years,37 % of exhibitors have been drawn from London, 37 % from rest of UK, 21 % from Europe and 5% from elsewhere (Japan/Korea/Australia/Canada/New Zealand/Israel/USA)

Designersblock also produces shows and events for other organisations. In 2004 Designersblock produced The Scottish Show for The Lighthouse, Scotland’s Centre for Architecture Design and the City. The Scottish show travelled to Milan and London as part of Designersblock and then home to Glasgow. Also in 2004, Designersblock produced the first London Architectural Biennale and have produced shows for Selfridges, Mazorca projects and London College of Printing. Since 1998 Designersblock have produced major showcases of Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian and Danish design.

Designersblock has proven that, through presenting a diversity of designers and companies at different levels of maturity within a unified and coherent setting, the conditions are designed where synthesis and communication between exhibitors is enhanced. Graduates have access to people at the next stages and to manufacturers and distributors, whilst established companies benefit from access and association with new talent and ideas. Shared experience over the period of a show often results in the invaluable ‘deep’ networking that is unavailable in more traditional and competitive trade show environments.
