Pith® x Launch Pad Initiative
)
Pith® to sponsor five emerging designers
Our Launch Pad initiative champions inclusivity by supporting emerging talent and helping designers who might not otherwise have the resources to join our partnership programme.
This year, our friends at Pith® are supporting it by sponsoring five emerging designers to take part in London Design Festival 2026 through fully funded Launch Pad partnerships.
To be considered, your work should focus on responsible design, circularity or material innovation. If that sounds like you, please see details below.
What does a Launch Pad partnership include?
An activity listing in our official online programme and digital map, a profile in our Design Directory, promotional assets, partner briefings, and access to marketing resources to help promote your participation.
How do I enter?
Purchase a Launch Pad partnership by 31 July 2026.
I've already registered. Can I still be considered?
Yes! If you've already signed up for a Launch Pad partnership, you'll automatically be considered, provided you meet the criteria.
What do the winners receive?
A full refund of your Launch Pad partnership fee.
The opportunity to present your work on a physical or digital platform and connect with the wider design industry.
When will the winners be announced?
The Pith® x Launch Pad winners will be contacted in mid-August, before being announced publicly at the end of August.
Can I still purchase a Launch Pad partnership after 31 July 2026?
Yes. While applications for the Pith® x Launch Pad Initiative close on 31 July 2026, Launch Pad partnerships will remain available until 31 August 2026.
