Sustainable Design Forum 2025
April 24th at the Crypt on the Green, Clerkenwell
Now in our third year, this day of knowledge sharing and collaboration will focus on ‘People and Planet’ and has been expanded to include additional workplace topics.
BDP and M Moser and Associates are already announced as headline A&D sponsors. Plus, the ’doyenne’ of inclusive design, HOK’s Kay Sargent, has chosen the Forum to be the venue for the launch of her new book and research on Neuro-inclusion. Her talk will be part of the schedule of presentations and panel discussions from the 30+ SDC members, including Asif Din, from Perkins & Will; TP Bennett’s Lucy Bagshaw; Lydia Randall from BDG; M Moser’s Sam Allen and Gurvinder Khurana to name a few.
We’re also excited to be running a series of speed-dating style workshops on principles and applications of sustainability.
Key topics will include decarbonisation; future proofing; material choices; designing for wellbeing (ergonomics, acoustics and comfort); circular design, retrofit and reuse.
Curated by designers for designers, the event offers an opportunity to learn and exchange ideas and a completely different approach to ‘standard’ industry exhibitions.
The day will conclude with the Sustainable Design Awards. Free to enter, the Awards are designed to champion ‘best practice’ and highlight innovations leading to greater sustainability within the office workplace sector.
Manufacturers and suppliers of furniture, flooring, new materials, fittings and finishes as well as reuse operations and IT services can also participate.

2024 Event
The Sustainable Design Collective owes a huge debt of gratitude to all of the sponsors and supporters at last week’s Sustainable Design Forum. The event was an outstanding success, and the enthusiasm was palpable as the day progressed through the comprehensive agenda of panel discussions, presentations, and workshops.
Covering a truly comprehensive range of topics, members of SDC participated in a range of discussions from the importance of social value through to the ‘pros and cons’ of carbon measurement. Many colleagues within the workplace design community commented on the practical advice and information provided by each of the ‘How to’ workshops covering ‘promoting sustainability to clients’ and ‘understanding supply chains’.
