surface design show preview Where:
Business Design Centre
When: 10-12 February
The awards recognise examples of progressive design and the use of innovative surfaces in projects both in the UK and internationally
“This year we’ve seen an 82 per cent increase in sales which
proves that Surface Design Show is getting bigger and better year on year. It’s great to see the enthusiasm of all those involved, the inspiration it provides and the creativity that comes out of the show”, said Event Director Christopher Newton There will also be a packed programme of events and
entertainment including the Preview Evening’s Live Debate hosted by RIBA Journal on 10 February. The ever popular PechaKucha Evening will take place on 11 February and will provide an informal and fun presentation of inspirational slides for the onlooking architects and designers. BIM4FitOut, a special interest group to the government
BIM Task Group, which represents the finishes and fit out sector, will again be organising an engaging workshop at the show. New event highlights to the show include Materials Speed Dating, the 2015 version of Future Thinking, hosted by Materials Council which is a fun and interactive way to be rapidly introduced to new surfaces and finishes, and in-turn meet your ‘perfect materials match’. Light and surface are inseparable partners; the interplay
between light and surface can change a building’s interior or exterior dramatically creating breathtaking results. Hosted within Surface Design Show and presented by Light Collective and the Institution of Lighting Professionals is Light School, an area dedicated to lighting. Light School consists of three parts: the School Room; Product School; and the School Newspaper, all of which are designed to educate and inspire visitors about the latest in lighting design and lighting products. Sponsored by iGuzzini, there will be more than two days of lessons in the School Room featuring hands on demos with top UK lighting designers who will be taking on the role of lecturers.

Global Color Research™ will also return to the show.
Following the success of the 2013 and 2014 Trend Wall, the influential consultancy and creators of colour forecasting publication MIX Magazine will work with acclaimed surface designer Giles Miller to present Colour Collaborations. The exhibit, located in and outside the Business Design Centre, is designed to inspire and give insight, focusing on the vital colour and material trends for 2016 and their importance within design. Part of the outstanding success of the show is the commit-
ment to recognising excellence with the Surface Design Awards. The awards recognise examples of progressive design and the use of innovative surfaces in projects both in the UK and internationally. Categories cover projects in retail, commercial, housing, public building, light and surfaces and temporary structures. Launched in 2013, the awards have grown quickly both in stature and the number of entrants. This year, 181 projects were entered, a record number increasing by a staggering 62 per cent with a third of entries from overseas making it the UK’s leading award scheme to identify innovation in surface design. The awards presentation will take place on 12 February 2015 at the Business Design Centre in London on the last day of Surface Design Show.
