With a new year comes show season and lots of new products.

IT’ S SHOW TIME!

Last year at Spring Fair at the NEC we launched a newly designed stand and a higher number of new products than ever before. This year with the launch of Design at Spring Fair, which will be a dedicated new destination for the world of interiors, architecture, and hospitality, which we will be part of, it represents a significant evolution of the show.
Retail has become more immersive, as have hospitality and all aspects of interiors, and it’ s great to see trade exhibitions acknowledging that. Launching at Spring Fair this year will be a continuation of natural materials but with some unexpected twists and turns. Of note are some more playful artworks and sculptural pieces, and we are bringing back chrome, but not as you’ d expect.
