Creative collaborations are high on this season’s agenda. Take ‘English Ethnic’ where multi-talented artists Melissa White, Flora Roberts and Su Daybell worked with Lewis & Wood to produce a range of eclectic fabrics.

Specially commissioned for the show, Design Hub is the perfect place to converse, connect and create. The space linking the main domes and Design Centre East is a veritable hub of creativity. With excellent Wi-Fi you can catch up with emails, get inspired by the pinboards or stop for a well-deserved drink. Or just marvel at the butterflies and birds on the stylised mulberry tree.
