interiors DecorexCelebrates 40 Years of Interior Style
This year Decorex celebrates 40 years of design collaborations, focusing both on the strength of its past and current relationships and importantly looking towards future partnerships.
T
o mark the 40th edition of Decorex International brought together its friends – old and new – at Syon House to celebrate the past, present and future of design. A decadent banquet was imagined in Syon House’s Robert Adam’s state dining room for the industry’s creative elite – Hassan Abdullah, Sophie Ashby, Anna Burles, Luke Edward Hall, Simon Hamilton, Daniel Hopwood, Victoria Meale, Marcin Rusak, Francis Sultana, Sue Timney, Joanna Wood and Freddy van Zevenbergen – coming together to create a magnificent tableau vivant for our 2017 campaign.
The show’s 2017 edition will also include a number of notable feature spaces and will see the return of Future Heritage: the acclaimed display of work by some of the leading emerging names in British craft. Curated by renowned design and applied arts critic, Corinne Julius, Future Heritage will feature new work exclusively commissioned for the show. This year makers will include designers Helen Carnac, David Gates, Simon Hassan, Merel Karhof, and Naomi McIntosh.
Decorex continues to be the design destination for discovering exciting new talent and 2017 will be no exception. Over 30% of the exhibitors to Decorex will be new this year and will range from lighting and furniture to textiles, decorative accessories and flooring.
