New Designers 2026 Shifts to Four-Day Format in London

New Designers 2026 is set to take place from July 1 to July 4 at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London. This year, the event will shift from its traditional two-week format to a more concentrated four-day showcase. It will feature the creative work of more than 2,500 graduates from over 100 BA and MA programs, highlighting areas like graphic design, illustration, animation, contemporary craft, jewellery, metalwork, and costume design. Notable works include Ella Blow’s 'Interwoven' from the Edinburgh College of Art, which cleverly uses second-hand materials, and Rinnah Ban’s engaging children’s book illustrations from Nottingham Trent University. Additionally, there will be seminars through ND Educates, networking via ND Connects, and the ND Awards to celebrate outstanding graduate accomplishments. For over 40 years, New Designers has supported emerging design talent in the UK.
