SURFACE DESIGN SHOW PREVIEW ON THE S
Celebrating 15 years of bringing the best in innovative surface design, manufacturin Here’s a look at what the
Surface Design Show will once again be bringing the best in surface material innovation to London’s Business Design Centre from 11th
-13th February 2020, with a focus on the trending topic of ‘Close to Home.’
Now in its 15th year, the show is a must-visit for architects, designers and specifiers looking for material inspiration from the UK and around the world. Over 180 exhibitors will be showcasing the latest in pioneering surfaces, including a brilliant selection of tile and stone products, some of which will be premiered at the show.
Returning exhibitors to the 2020 Surface Design Show include family-run tile firm BluePrint Ceramics; Amarestone, an ethical natural stone supplier which sources limestone and marble from quarries throughout Europe; and Tile of Spain, a Spanish tile company encompassing more than 100 tile manufacturers. Among the new exhibitors joining this edition of the show are British art studio Aster Muro, which produces stunning contemporary frescoes; solid surface supplier KULA; and Diespeker & Co, supplier and installer of terrazzo, marble and other quality stone.
The ‘Close to Home’ theme will look beyond aesthetics and into manufacturers’ impact on the environment, from the processes used in mining or manufacture,

through to the carbon footprint sustained during sales and distribution. Designing with a conscience will also be examined, from reusing waste materials to looking at what happens at the end of a product’s life-cycle.
Surface Spotlight Live
Surface Spotlight Live is a section of the show which is wholly focused on the ‘Close to Home’ theme. Curated by trend expert Sally Angharad and forecasters Colour Hive, the exhibit will take a look at what the future holds for materials. Stone Gallery also returns for 2020, accompanied by the Stone Knowledge Hub, supported by the leading industry body Stone Federation GB, which will form a focal point for the event where architects and designers can interact with and learn more about specifying natural stone.
Light School
In addition to materials for indoor and outdoor use, Light School is a key component of the show, reflecting the fact that London is the world’s capital for lighting design specification. Here, leading manufacturers will demonstrate the relationship between light and surfaces, as well as showcasing the latest architectural lighting products and innovations in lighting technology.
