    Explore flavour, materials and circular design at Clerkenwell Design Week 2026.

    Clerkenwell Design Week, Aqua Libra will unveil a new mobile showroom on Clerkenwell Green, bringing together workplace wellbeing, material innovation and circular design thinking. The space features a live hydration station with sparkling and still Flavour Taps alongside a curated palette of recycled and recyclable materials developed in collaboration with Surface Matter.

    The installation showcases considered, long-life materials including Durat, a recycled and recyclable solid surface available in vibrant terrazzo-inspired colourways, and Richlite, a durable paper composite known for its layered edges, tactile finish and evolving natural patina. Together, the materials explore how durability, maintenance, adaptability and circular thinking can shape healthier and more responsible workplace environments.

    The collaboration also highlights our return and reclaim services, supporting Aqua Libra with takeback and initial prototypes formed from reclaimed surfaces. 

    Throughout the festival, visitors can join small group sessions exploring:

    • Workplace hydration and Flavour Tap capabilities
    • Colour and material customisation
    • Designing for durability and long-term use
    • Circular material palettes for workplace environments
    • Lowering embodied carbon through reuse over recycling

    The sessions are aimed at workplace designers, occupiers and brands looking to rethink tea points, collaboration areas and wellbeing spaces through a more circular lens.
