Caribbean To Make Clerkenwell Design Week Debut

Solar shading manufacturer Caribbean will be making its debut appearance at the prestigious Clerkenwell Design Week 2026, being held between May 19-21.

The Suffolk-based firm is to exhibit two examples from its pergola range alongside outdoor furniture specialists Bridgman in the courtyard of the historic Charterhouse venue in London.

The event marks a clear step for Caribbean, bringing its external shading systems into a setting shaped by architects, designers and specifiers. Clerkenwell Design Week’s mix of exhibitions, showrooms and talks creates a practical environment to see products in context and discuss how they are used.

Caribbean will be showing two of its louvered roof pergolas. The Classic pergola, finished in anthracite grey, and the Deluxe pergola in mid grey will be installed on site. Both systems are designed to give users control over light, shade and ventilation, supporting the use of outdoor spaces across changing conditions.

The courtyard setting allows visitors to move through the structures and see how they perform at full scale. Positioned alongside Bridgman’s outdoor furniture, the stand presents a straightforward view of how seating and shading work together in real settings.

Stuart Dantzic, managing director of Caribbean, said:

“Clerkenwell Design Week gives us the chance to show our pergolas in a way that reflects how they are actually used. It’s about being clear on performance, build quality and how these systems support outdoor space day to day.”

Caribbean will be at stands CH20 and CH20a, The Charterhouse, Charterhouse Square, Barbican, EC1M 6AN. View website here.
