Inclusive Design for Everyone, Everywhere.
During London Design Festival, KI Europe invites visitors to explore how inclusive design can create spaces that support the diverse ways people learn, work and interact.
Across two days, KI will host expert-led talks, panel discussions and workshops at our Clerkenwell showroom, sharing practical insights into designing more inclusive, accessible and adaptable environments.
The showroom will be open throughout the event for drop-in visits, guided tours and product demonstrations. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience our collections designed to encourage movement, flexibility and choice, as well as Cogni, our Red Dot Award-winning seating collection created specifically for learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN), showcased in a variety of configurations.
