Visitors to the show will be inspired by new product launches running the gamut of colour, materiality and sustainability, plus diverse displays of surface-based installations and a comprehensive speaker programme featuring accomplished industry professionals who are passionate about the future of surface design.
Features and highlights There are over 150 exhibitors – of which 70 are new for 2023 – ensuring that the show will have the latest surface innovations on display. Supporting emerging materials designers has always been important to the Surface Design Show. That is why the New Talent section will, for the fourth year in a row, be held in partnership with Trendease International. Its chief creative director, Jennifer Castoldi, will be curating over 30 ‘New Talents’ this year. The section will inspire and excite visitors with the ‘Class of 23’ showcasing a fascinating mix of biomaterials, natural materials, digital print, textiles, furniture, wallcovering, weaving and biopolymers. This forthcoming edition will be the most international yet with new talents coming from as far afield as Sweden, the Netherlands, Lebanon, Malaysia, Korea and China, and will give them the opportunity to learn from each other and connect.
Located right in the heart of the exhibition, Surface Design Show welcomes
