Dulux Trade to sponsor Conversations at Clerkenwell


Dulux Trade will sponsor the Talks Stage at this year's Clerkenwell Design Week and there's so much for atendees to look forward to.

At the heart of the festival, hosted in the spectacular surroundings of St Bartholomew the Great church, is Conversations at Clerkenwell. The acclaimed 3-day talks programme is where the global design community converges to challenge ideas and shape the future.

Framing the Talks Stage will be the winning design from Dulux Trade’s Light Up the Rhythm of Blues Competition 2026.

Leigh Bagley of The Graphic Pattern Studio has created a lightbox design inspired by Dulux Trade’s Colour of the Year 2026 palette, Rhythm of Blues.

Leigh’s composition of geometry, translucent colour, and visual rhythm really captures the Meeting of Minds theme. Attendees will have the chance to appreciate this striking piece of colour and expression in all its glory.

Three talks. Three days. One stage.


Dulux Creative Director Marianne Shillingford will be hosting three talks across the festival, each exploring a different dimension of colour – from forecasting and the built environment to the science of how we perceive and respond to it, to an honest conversation about the materials behind the paint on our walls.

The Future of Colour
19th May 2026 @ 2pm
How does global colour forecasting shape the spaces we live in?

Marianne explores the palettes and thinking defining the built environment in an increasingly fast-paced world.

Presented by Marianne Shillingford

The True Nature and Power of Colour
20th May 2026 @ 2pm
Colour is hardwired into us – but how well do we really understand its power? Joined by a chartered biologist, an award-winning architect, and an artist and designer, Marianne leads a panel discussion on how nature's most instinctive language can help us design better spaces for the future.

With Dr Rhys Jones, Stephanie Kyle and John Booth. Hosted by Marianne Shillingford.
