Future Icons Selects is back for its highly anticipated third year at London Craft Week (15th - 18th May 2025), and bringing with it a fresh twist! After two successful years at the iconic Bargehouse on the South Bank, the show is moving to a new venue in the heart of Shoreditch—83 Rivington Street. Known for its vibrant creative energy, Shoreditch sets the perfect stage for this dynamic celebration of contemporary craftsmanship.
Spanning an impressive 9,000 square feet, the new space will showcase the work of over 50 talented artisans across a wide range of disciplines—from ceramics and textiles to metalwork and fine art. The exhibition will take over three stunning industrial arches and the outdoor terrace garden will be transformed into a lively social hub, offering curated food and beverage experiences that complement the creative atmosphere.
Set to be the largest gathering of craft makers at London Craft Week 2025, Future Icons Selects stays true to its mission of supporting and celebrating a diverse range of artisans. The event provides a unique platform for both local and international craft makers to showcase their work and, with an emphasis on accessibility, it offers an affordable opportunity for artisans to participate in one of the leading craft and design showcases, all within a thoughtfully curated, large-scale exhibition.
This year's selection includes many artisans who have never shown in London before - a chance for interior designers and private collectors to 'discover' and source projects and collections before they are snapped up by global museums and galleries.
Louisa Pacifico, Founder of Future Icons Selects, comments: “After two fabulous years at the Bargehouse in Oxo Tower Wharf, we are delighted to showcase our selected artisans in the heart of fashionable Shoreditch - an area renowned for setting trends. With limited space, we will deliver a concise showcase of 50+ diverse makers in an exciting new format - think luxury retail! All of our artisans will be present to meet you and discuss their collections, some of whom will be demonstrating their craft for visitors to get a behind-the-scenes look at their methods.”
