Ranging from internationally renowned designers to some of the UK’s hottest emerging makers across graphics, furniture, fashion, illustration, architecture, ceramics, textiles and lighting, this year’s Northern Design Festival included nine exhibitions featuring work by more than 50 designers, plus a programme of special events, tours and talks from some of the world’s leading creatives.
The event took place from 3-8 November at venues across Newcastle and Gateshead, including the historic Assembly House as the Festival hub where most exhibitions are held, and nearby Cooper’s Studios.
