Welltek is thrilled to announce their participation in Clerkenwell Design Week, happening from May 23rd to 25th. Each morning in our Clerkenwell showroom, we will be starting the day with a Nordic breakfast hosted by our partner, Martela. You will have the opportunity to meet our team, the designers and discover what we have in store for the event.
On Wednesday 24th, from 4pm onwards we’ll be opening up the showroom for drinks and discussions with another of our partners, Loook who will be sharing their unique perspective on the storytelling of design. Discover how Loook continues to push the boundaries of innovation with their latest developments. Come for a spin in the Vroom lounge chair, and check out the versatile Nugget chair, and the elegantly understated A Normal Sofa. Kevin and Ivar, the Loook designers are always willing to listen to their customers’ feedback on their products. One example of this is the latest adaptation to the Neuron Activation Pod (N.A.P) which will be
shown for the first time in the UK during CDW. N.A.P 3.0 can now be easily delivered to locations where access is tricky thanks to its modular design.
Thursday will also feature Martela, who will be sharing how they have aligned their company strategy with a strong focus on sustainability. Last year, EcoVadis awarded Martela a Gold rating in sustainability for the second time. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from industry leaders on how to advance your business while promoting sustainability and social responsibility. We will be launching Martela’s Ella
chair to a UK audience during Clerkenwell Design week. Designed with a focus on circular design and sustainability, and to minimise its environmental impact, Ella features 100% recycled raw material for the seat and backrest to. We are delighted that Ella has been chosen to be part of the Sustainability Trail in partnership with OnOffice Magazine at Clerkenwell Design Week this year.
To celebrate the end of a week filled with creativity, we would like to bring together architects, interior designers, and industry specialists for an exclusive talk by a leading expert in the field of AI research and consultation. We believe that AI has the potential to revolutionise the design industry. We will cover a variety of ways in which you can harness the power of AI to unlock new opportunities and drive growth; enhancing human creativity, rather than replacing it.

About Welltek Ltd
The Founders of Welltek feel strongly based on their own experiences that it’s not enough to design interiors that look amazing. Obviously, everyone wants to live and work in an environment that looks great but whether a space is healthy is often overlooked. Welltek believes that the built environment should do us good, not harm. So we provide solutions that enhance air quality and natural light, as well as award winning, *multi-functional* furniture designed to reduce noise pollution and everyday stress – the elements which we believe most affect human health from the moment you step into the building.
