Curated by Das Programm's Peter Kapos, DP_CDRA.LDF25 is the CDRA’s inaugural event, and takes the form of an exhibition which runs during the London Design Festival, 2025.

A platform for industrial design practices with roots in the functionalist tradition, the exhibition provides a beautifuly brutal survey of practices that engage in different ways with issues such as material truth, utility, efficiency, clarity, economy, form and human need.
