Design London, the fair formerly known as 100% Design and a key component of September's London Design Festival, has been cancelled due to coronavirus.
The news comes days after London Design Festival announced it would still go ahead but with a much-reduced programme focussing on local events.
Organiser Media 10 announced that this year's Design London will not go ahead on the fair's website.
Design London launch postponed
"After careful consideration, it is with great regret that we announce the postponement of the launch of Design London to 22-25 September 2021," it said.
"Postponing to next year means that we can deliver a launch show that doesn't compromise what we had originally set out to deliver and achieve."
100% Design, London's longest-running design show, was launched in 1995 but rebranded as Design London earlier this year.
This year, the fair had been due to relocate to Magazine London, a new venue in North Greenwich. The purpose-built venue is part of the emerging Design District on the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London.
