Engaging talks, fabulous guests and a classy
evening party…
Once again Havwoods were proud to be part of the
wonderful festival of Clerkenwell Design Week as it
celebrated its 10th anniversary. During the three-day
event the flagship Havwoods showroom located in
the heart of Clerkenwell hosted a series of fantastic
talks whilst introducing a stunning new collection
of natural cork wall coverings.

12

In addition to the showroom experience, our clients had a chance to visit the famous Havwoods
Routemaster at St. John’s Square for a beautiful coffee and treat themselves to Prosecco from
our van situated within the Design Fields.
The definite icing on the cake was the Gin & Jazz party on the evening of the last day of the
festival. So much fun had by so many in such a memorable atmosphere! We are delighted to
share a selection of images here.
