Celebrating 40-years in the tile specification business, Parkside 40 Years x Lois O’Hara, will launch at this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week.
2023 marks four decades of Parkside’s involvement in tile specification. Since its inception, the business has been providing contemporary porcelain, ceramic and natural stone tiles to commercial interiors. Providing design-led and sustainable tiles, including exclusive ranges such as the new Principle mass-produced 91% recycled content tile, Parkside has built a reputation for technical excellence and innovation.
To celebrate 40-years of business, Parkside is collaborating with Brighton-based visual artist Lois O’Hara, launching Parkside 40 Years x Lois O’Hara at Clerkenwell Design Week, 23 -25 May 2023. Lois’s unmistakably playful patterns and positive visual narratives have graced Wembley Park, Grand Designs Live, Brighton’s seafront and Westfield Stratford. Her work also includes brand partnerships with Adidas and Pantone, as well as the cover of OnOffice magazine.
Parkside 40 Years x Lois O’Hara will see the artist adorn the exterior and interior of the company’s Clerkenwell Sustainability and Design Studio with a one-off design. Bringing colour to the streets of Clerkenwell throughout the festival, it’s a must-see stop for anyone visiting Clerkenwell Design Week. Parkside will also be celebrating with the Parkside 40 Years x Lois O’Hara Party on Thursday evening.
James Journet, sales design director, Parkside, says:
“We’re excited to be marking our 40-years with a collaboration with one of the UK’s most exciting artists and I can’t wait to see how Lois takes over our Clerkenwell Sustainability and Design Studio. It’s a great way to mark the occasion and we look forward to welcoming the design community to celebrate with us at the Parkside 40 Years x Lois O’Hara Party on Thursday night.”
Parkside will also be producing a limited run of Parkside 40 Years x Lois O’Hara totes, so make sure you visit the studio throughout Clerkenwell Design Week to pick up a piece of this exclusive design.
