Thank you to all our incredible exhibitors, speakers and visitors for making Surface Design Show 2026 another outstanding success.
With 6,000+ visitors, over 1,000 cutting-edge products, 50 inspiring speakers and 15 thought-provoking seminars, this year’s show was a true celebration of surface material innovation.
Take a look at our highlights video to see what you missed, here’s to continuing the conversation and shaping the future of surfaces together.
We had a lovely conversation with @izzykellydesign from Fallen Furniture at Surface Design Show 2026, where she shared insights from her @greengradsuk project, a powerful exploration of the UK’s mass importation of timber and how the industry can rethink its material footprint. By sourcing local timber waste and giving it new life through thoughtful craftsmanship, she demonstrated how discarded offcuts can be transformed into striking, functional furniture pieces.

We had the pleasure of catching up with the team at @armourcoat at Surface Design Show 2026, where they walked us through their world of luxury surface finishes, from refined clay‑lime master renders to beautifully crafted polished plasters. They showcased how natural materials like clay, lime and recycled crushed marble can create breathable, durable and visually rich finishes that elevate any interior.
They also shared what keeps them coming back to Surface Design Show year after year: the chance to connect with designers and architects who value craftsmanship, sustainability and the artistry behind truly bespoke surfaces.

We had the pleasure of talking to Josh Myers from @denimolite and @greengradsuk at Surface Design Show 2026, where he introduced his innovative material made from waste denim and plant‑based bio‑resin. The result is a strong, beautifully marbled composite that offers designers a circular alternative to traditional finishes, turning discarded fashion into durable, story‑rich surfaces.

Throwback Thursday to the launch of our Workshop Stage at SDS26.
We kicked things off with a jewellery workshop hosted by @colibri.cawo using materials from @tpbennettllp Material Library, followed by a colourful deep‑dive into maximalism with Siobhan Murphy from @interiorcurve in the workshop „Demystifying the Myths of Maximalism“.
Thank you to @ubuild for creating such an impressive stage. This was just the beginning and we’re already excited for what’s coming next year.

Happy Earth Day!
At SDS, sustainability isn’t an add‑on, it’s built into everything we do. This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the collective effort moving our industry toward a more responsible future.🌍
We’re especially proud that 98% of our exhibitors achieved Gold or Silver in the Better Stands Initiative, embracing reusable, low‑impact stand practices that significantly reduce waste and emissions.
Across the show, sustainability guides our choices: modular reused stand panels, a B Corp‑certified venue with zero waste to landfill, emissions tracking, repurposed stages, recycled‑plastic lanyards and trophies made from old CDs. ♻️💚
Here’s to intentional, future‑focused design, and to everyone working with us to make it happen.
