Edit will then relocate to New York during the city's NYCxDesign event from 15 to 18 May.
Inside the ArtBeam building in Chelsea, 25 brands including Mass Productions, Muuto, Decode, Modus, tokyobike and Imamura Design, will showcase products alongside a retail zone and onsite cafe.
Finally, designjunction will return to The Sorting Office for the London Design Festival for its flagship event.
