The backdrop to the TALK lecture theatre could not be more apt at London Design Week 2024. ‘Pygmalion’, a wallpaper mural from the new Sanderson x Giles Deacon collection, depicts a sumptuous sepia curtain, pulled back to reveal a scene of rococo dolphins, giant artichokes, fennel, garlic bulbs and shells \u2013 a fantastical landscape that sets the mood for the entire collection.<\/p>\n

The designer himself lifted the curtain on the show’s acclaimed Conversations in Design series by speaking to ELLE Decoration<\/em>‘s Ben Spriggs on the main stage, along with Sanderson’s design creative director Claire Vallis. Deacon explained how the collection was a meeting of minds that started off with him visiting Sanderson’s acclaimed archives (“I left incredibly excited about working with them”) and Vallis and her team in turn going to see how Deacon’s couture creations are made in his east London atelier.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
