The Architecture Foundation central bar competition

Foundation to run a competition to design the central bar area. The winners are Post Works
a young practice of architects who have created a technically intricate and visually dramatic
bar that will undoubtedly draw crowds into its theatrical space.
100% Materials – goes all touchy-feely
100% Materials includes the ground-breaking installation “Hello Future” – the A-Z of Smart
Materials – an in-depth look at everything from thermography to nano-technology. Curated by
materials master Chris Lefteri, there is also a programme of daily workshops that defy
expectations: electro-conductive body paint; self-cleaning wallpaper; robotic cladding and
catalytic clothing are just some of the gems to marvel at.
100% Futures
100% Design offers 50 subsidised spaces a year to emerging designers and this is the
foundation for 100% Futures which gives new talent a chance to build their design credentials
through the most influential British contemporary interior design show. 100% Design also
sponsors one graduate from New Designers. This year the lucky winner is Suzie Button from
University of the West of England who is given a stand and mentoring package.
International Exhibitors
100% Design brings more global talent to the show this year with three new pavilions from
Chile, China and Greece adding to the illustrious roll call of Argentina, Austria, Czech
