SURFACE DESIGN SHOW 2020 BEST IN
The 2020 edition of the Surface Design Show, which took place at London’s Business Design Centre from the 11th 13th
surface material and architectural lighting designs than ever before.
More than 170 exhibitors showcased the best in surface design, with nearly 5,000 architects, designers and specifiers visiting over the packed two-and-a-half days.
With a focus on the trending topic of ‘Close to Home… Locally Sourced’, the show looked 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.
Over the course of Surface Design Show, there was a full schedule of insightful and entertaining discussions and talks, including the ever-popular Opening Night Debate which was supported this year by RIBA and Architextural, as well as the lively PechaKucha evening, which was hosted by Chris Dyson of Chris Dyson Architects.
The carefully-curated talks programme kept visitors engaged as they were educated on ways of thinking about materials, current industry issues and trends; including several talks which focussed on the Close to Home theme.
As well as established brands, Surface Design Show is committed to supporting and promoting up-and-coming designers in the materials sector with its New Talent section which was expanded for 2020. Curated by Chief Creative Director at Trendease International Jennifer Castoldi, the New Talent area allowed designers, who have been in the industry five years or less, to have a devoted exhibition area, giving them the opportunity to showcase and engage face to face with a hard to reach and targeted audience. The 32 New Talents included That’s Caffeine, a start-up that creates products from waste coffee grounds, and knitted textile specialist Charlotte Clayton.
