About The Lab W1 & "Better Living By Design"

Curated by Yasmin Jones-Henry (founder of The Lab W1, previously co-founder of The Lab E20 and Financial Times writer), Amanda Johnston (Future Fabrics Expo), Professor Dilys Williams (University Arts London) and Louie-Joe Findlater (Film maker & photographer), this multifaceted programme has been assembled to support the unveiling of Soho as the newest design district to the London Design Festival, celebrating the area’s eclectic design heritage whilst tackling topics of urban regeneration, climate action, cultural identity and design innovation.

Drawing on the principles of regenerative by design, the exhibition & cultural programe “Better Living By Design” seeks to address the themes of “placeshaping” and the reimagining of Soho through the lens of co-design. This exhibition brings together an ecosystem of higher education, industry, craft and community to convene meaningful stakeholder engagement as to what the future of Soho, Oxford St and Fitzrovia should look like for NextGen grassroots cultural production.
