ABOUT
EVENT
We believe passionately in supporting tomorrow’s designers as the future of our industry. At EGGER London, July is Graduate Month – a dedicated celebration of next generation design talent and a showcase of original creative concepts.
In collaboration with Clerkenwell Showrooms Grad Week, 29th June - 3rd July, we hosted Teesside University’s BA (Hons) Interior Design Class of 2026, supporting the students’ transition into the professional design sphere.
THE EXPERIENCE
The graduates enjoyed insightful coaching in recruitment and routes to work in furniture industry design with the Simon Acres Group; considered the intersection of colour and human senses with Ergonomics and Ageing Specialist Amanda Hughes; and explored neuroinclusive design and social complexities with creative pioneer Piers Roberts.
THE EXHIBITION
The class practiced valuable pitching skills by presenting their creative concepts to an audience of design professionals and peers. The work of ten inspiring students remains on display in our Clerkenwell design space as an immersive gallery-style exhibition.
