Northern product designers sought for national showcase

A Newcastle-based organisation that supports designers in the early stages of their careers is looking to take a group of northern designers to a showcase event in London.

In September the group will travel to designjunction, part of the London Design Festival, to demonstrate their products including furniture, wall coverings, textiles, lighting and homeware.

The team are looking for applications from product designers based in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Humber.

During the 2010 and 2012 event, exhibiting designers recieved corporate and private sales and commissions over £70k.

The event will be attended by major retailers, manufacturers and stockists.

In total, 18 designers have been part of our previous showcase exhibitions at London Design Festival, showing a diverse range of products including furniture, wall coverings, textiles, lighting and homeware.

Interested designers can visit the Design Event website here. The deadline for applications is 5pm on March 10.
