CURATED EVENTS & PRIVATE EXPERIENCES BY YDF CLUB

YDF, together with McIntosh, Sonus faber and The Faraday Club, launches a new Salon Series - a programme of intimate conversations bringing together leading voices from design, architecture and beyond.

The first edition, Sound by Design, welcomes Livio Cucuzza, Chief Design Officer of Bose Luxury (McIntosh & Sonus faber), for a conversation exploring the role sound should play in the design of a home and the renewed interest in intentional listening and the art of listening.

How can sound shape the way we experience a space? When should it enter the design process? And as we rediscover the value of truly listening to music, how can we create homes that make space for it?

Hosted by Julia Danilova-Meretska, CEO & Co-Founder of YDF In conversation with:

Livio Cucuzza, Chief Design Officer, Bose Luxury (McIntosh & Sonus faber)

YDF Interiors joins London Design Festival 2026 as an official partner. From 12–20 September 2026, we look forward to welcoming festival visitors and the wider design community to our London showroom. Discover YDF’s curated design destination and a special programme celebrating light, material and contemporary design

During London Design Festival 2026, YDF invites architects, designers and the wider creative community to an evening with Gabriele Chiave, Co-Founder & Creative Director of Controvento and the creative mind behind Contardi’s Alma collection.

Known internationally as the “Couturier of Light,” Contardi combines Italian craftsmanship and a tailor-made approach with cutting-edge technology, balancing aesthetic expression with technical performance.

Gabriele will take us behind the design process - from the first idea to the finished object, exploring how decisions around form, materials, technology and light shape each piece and ultimately its place within an interior.

Join us at YDF for an insightful conversation, followed by a cocktail reception and networking with London’s creative community.

YDF Interiors invites architects, designers and the wider creative community to discover Alain Ellouz’s latest alabaster creations, exclusively presented at the showroom during London Design Festival 2026.

For twenty years, Alain Ellouz has explored the expressive potential of alabaster - an ancient natural material transformed by light. What began with his fascination with the stone has evolved into a distinctive creative language, revealing its natural nuances, translucency and sculptural qualities through contemporary lighting and interior design.

The evening will offer insight into the thinking and techniques behind the latest collection, and how material, texture and light can be transformed into meaningful elements of architecture and interior design.

For architects and designers, it is an opportunity to discover a distinctive material language and explore new possibilities for future projects.

Join us at YDF for a presentation followed by a cocktail reception and networking with London’s design community.
