The Hoxton, Shoreditch has teamed up with design gallery and studio Slancha for Travel Light - a celebration of emerging design talent and new ideas around travel, objects and the way we live now.
Earlier this year, Slancha put out an international open call asking emerging designers to respond to a simple brief: what does it mean to Travel Light in 2026? More than 200 submissions landed from over 20 countries, spanning furniture, lighting, textiles, objects and material innovation. Now, Slancha and The Hoxton have whittled them down to a final collection of objects that will take over the hotel’s Hox Shop throughout London Design Festival, from 12-20 September.
Designed to be packed, collected and lived with, the 12-piece collection puts a new spin on the objects, rituals and details that shape a journey and hotel stay. Highlights include a flat-pack lamp made in Hackney; a tiny vase cast directly from a British water mains cover; a pocket-sized ice cream spoon inspired by theatre ice cream tubs and seaside spades; and a sculptural wooden take on that classic hotel keepsake, the branded matchbox.
Travel Light brings together work by Josh Page Studio, Jake Robertson Studio, Omi Collective, Katia Lyubavskaya, B.C. Joshua, THISISBYRON, Maxim Lester, D.V. Lierop, Studio Ojo, Lewis Duckworth and George Exon. Expect reclaimed London timber, sand-cast aluminium and playful takes on familiar everyday objects, with every piece available to buy from the Hox Shop, open 24/7 throughout LDF.
Slancha will also create a specially curated still-life installation in the lobby, sitting alongside furniture and objects from its wider creative community and turning the heart of The Hox into a living showcase of contemporary design.
