Features
Metropolitan Works
This area is about bringing a live workshop element to the show where visitors can not only participate, manipulate and become a part of the design, but also watch demonstrations of machinery in use. Examples of exploratory work, stations to test drive software programs and advice from professionals will all be at this year's event.
Brompton Bike Tours
The Brompton Tours in collaboration with JAM at 100% Design London. Linking 100% Design London with the Brompton Quarter, creating easy transport links and guided tours to and from both areas. Brompton will also demonstrate the engineering, human intervention and customisation involved in their bike assembly by having it demonstrated live at the show.
Sustainable Seating - Studiomama
Working with Nina Tolstrup's Palette benches to create a sustainable seating area. The instructions to make the benches are sold online for people to find their own disregarded palettes to make seating. Artists and Designer friends will customise a few benches for the show, which will be auctioned off to raise money for the Lugano slums in Argentina, where these palettes are often made in unsafe workshops. The proceeds will go to making a safer work environment for these people.
Skystation
Inspired by the form of Le Corbusier's iconic LC4 chaise longue, Skystation is a circular sculpture that acts as a piece of public seating. Designed by Peter Newman and developed by Futureditions as a limited edition of 100, it encourages contemplation of the vast expanse of the space above and beyond. Situated in the exhibition it will have elements suspended above the pieces such as a London view looking up to the sky from street level, and will encourage people to interact on a certain level.
100% Inspired
Each member of the committee will select a product, object, artefact, smell or sound that represents 100% Design to them. This object should have never been seen before in a trade show, and have its origins in the UK. The values driving this year's show are participation and inspiration. The Committee members will be profiled at the show alongside moving image of some of the most inspiring products.
The Box Project - NoChintz
The box project competition asks creative's to design the interior of a 2x2x2 micro building. The building has been developed for simplicity of build and so it can be easily transported. The pre-fabricated cube takes up minimal storage space and will be adaptable for many uses such as retail space, kiosk, cafe or even a spa. NoChintz and its team of high profile judges are challenging you to spend a little and create a lot, by asking, what's inside the box?
The entry will need to show functionality, as well as original and creative use of sustainable materials, to produce an inspirational design that will be displayed at 100% design.
Spunique
To promote up and coming design talent, young designers are invited to submit their products for inclusion on Spunique - a website that shows work from different generations of British Designers. Projects should be useful, clever or playful. They should make good use of simple production techniques and be made in the UK. The winning designs will be exhibited at 100% and offered for sale on Spunique.com.
The Bike Feature
Bringing together creativity in the emerging world of bike design and bike culture. The Bike feature is being developed by JAM in support of Cycle to Cannes. The feature will show examples of leading edge design from brands such as Biomega through to experimental bikes inspired by Bauhaus and bamboo as a building material. This will be a dynamic glimpse of different subcultures through bike design.
Perception of Colour
2700 Pantone swatches will be laid out for 1000 members of the public to select colours from the whole Pantone range that, in their mind, best represent the 7 spectral colours, Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple. Their choices will then be physically stuck onto 7 large wall mounted sheets of Aluminium, creating 7 large monochromes that will evolve over the course of the exhibition.

The Working Title - Kithkin
An independent daily publication launched at Milan this April. The Working Title delivers commentary and critique on events surrounding the biggest design festivals. Its contributors bring diverse opinions from different backgrounds including design, fine art, philosophy and science all with a common goal of presenting wonderful things seriously.
Writers for the working title will be everywhere during the festival with an office space set up inside 100% design London/Designersblock.
Show Teacups - EPS
As a play on British culture, 300 colourful and oversized teacups with a bespoke pattern will be created for 100% Design London this year. They will serve various purposes throughout the show, from giant plant pots, to signage for feature areas, as well as being distributed to other London Design Festival events.
Corian Park Benches
A series of quintessentially British park benches in an area of the show providing opportunity to take a moment of respite, a welcome pause, revealing a new perspective on the show. Coloured Corian will be used to mimic a typical park bench with a twist using new technologies.
Jake Dyson's and Jason Bruges' Focal Shift
This year's 100% Design will see innovative up and coming product designer, Jake Dyson and the ground-breaking interactive light artist Jason Bruges working on a one-off installation, FOCAL SHIFT using Jake Dyson's new Motorlight Wall; the first remote control, variable angle wall light to be developed for use in commercial and residential spaces. FOCAL SHIFT will be on display at 100% Design suspended from the ceiling covering the back wall of Earls Court 2.
The intelligent 10 panel installation will create a wall of light that transforms as the luminaires cycle between their narrow and wide-angle beams, creating striking patterns of shadow and light. Using DMX technology, Jason Bruges' team will specially configure the Motorlight Wall units to produce a fluid art installation, surprising and mesmerizing people who enter and visit the exhibition space. In creating the artwork, Jason and Jake hope to show how light-is-art and explore the possibilities of this exciting medium.
