Join them for a conversation exploring their practices, processes and approaches to making.

Mayfair Design District brings the neighbourhood's galleries, showrooms and houses into one programme.
At the heart of Mayfair Design District is its community. Across September, October and November, MDD brings together the galleries, designers, makers, brands and cultural institutions that make this part of London so distinctive. Through exhibitions, conversations, late nights, openings and cultural collaborations, we create opportunities for our community to connect, share ideas and welcome new audiences into the District.
