This November, celebrated British textile artist Kate Jenkins will present ‘Kate’s Knitalian’ at Air Contemporary Gallery, transforming the Soho space into an immersive knitted Italian restaurant and deli. Not one serving pasta, but one entirely built around contemporary British craft with more than 100 new artworks. Kate will transform the gallery into a richly detailed Italian trattoria and deli counter, where tables are laid with hand-knitted feasts, cocktails, seafood, pastries and pasta are painstakingly crocheted stitch by stitch, and every corner celebrates the warmth, colour and theatre of Italian hospitality. Visitors will be able to book reservations online and there will be two sittings at the ‘Knitalian’ every day.  Opening on 1 November and running until 5 December 2026, Kate's Knitalian is conceived as a complete environment rather than a conventional exhibition.

Pandora will unveil a new jewellery collection created in collaboration with Tim Walker. The collection features 12 styles designed by Walker, each with a personal story behind it and inspired by memories, people and moments throughout his life. Among the designs is a penny charm, inspired by the phrase “penny for your thoughts”, which Walker’s father would say whenever he found him daydreaming. A button pays homage to his Irish grandmother, while a tooth charm nods to Walker’s childhood magic of the tooth fairy. The wishbone recalls Sunday roasts at home, his mother would save the wishbone for Tim and his brother - campaign imagery has been shot by Walker himself.

Launching in London in Spring, Lalique continues its artistic journey through the four elements and turns its gaze skyward.

Air, the most elusive of them all, is captured in crystal through decorative objects, where savoir-faire, heritage, and modern elegance meet in a living expression of Art de Vivre.

The Conran Shop partners with the design duo Supergroup to launch an exclusive range celebrating colour, craft, and the joy of decorative objects Oddments, an exclusive new collection of decorative accessories. The range brings together expressive craftsmanship, bold material experimentation, and a playful design language that reimagines the role of decorative objects.

“Oddments began with a fascination we both have around decorative objects,” says Supergroup. “All the designs have been hand-drawn, and we developed a range of playful surface applications and colours across the collection — from double-dipped glazes to sgraffito and hand-painting techniques. We were inspired by the rich colour history within ceramics, including references

like chrome green and celadon blue. We loved playing with conventional material histories while taking a more joyful, exploratory approach to the medium.”

Across fourteen individual works, JIG Studio brings together material-led practices that foreground ancestry, experimentation, and handcraft at Collect 2026. Works were shown at the JIG Studio stand on the ground floor with a further selection presented in the Collectors’ Lounge, presented by Trimble SketchUp and designed by Tola Ojuolape Studio.

The accompanying capsule collection will launch at the NPG Shop and takes its name from a phrase Freud often used and appears in the exhibition’s opening section: “Everything is a Portrait.” For Freud, any subject — human, animal or botanical — could be approached with the same forensic intensity.
