On 22-25 September, four Kazakh designers – Nastya Leonova, Aziz Abdulmazhitov, Timur Aktaev and Galym Kairalapov – took part in TENT London, an international exhibition held as part of the London Design Fair. The trip was conceived to promote cooperation between the design sectors of Kazakhstan and the United Kingdom.
Located in the creative heart of East London, the London Design Fair (including Tent London & Super Brands London) is a four-day event that brings together 450 exhibitors from 29 countries, including independent designers, established brands, international country pavilions, features and exhibitions.
The trip was organised with support from the British Council in cooperation with Chevron, as part of the project to develop creative industries in Kazakhstan.
