So now its official, Surface Design Show 2022 has been declared ‘one of the best’ by no lesser design authorities than FX and Hotel Designs!
After a brief pause in 2021, Surface Design Show came bouncing back this year as we focused our attention on Bringing Everyone Back Together to enjoy and compare the very latest surface materials and designs and to discuss and debate the issues effecting the design sector.
More than 4,800 visitors attended the 2½-day Show meeting and specifying products and materials from our 160 exhibiting companies. 84% of our visitors came from the architectural and design sector.
So now we look forward to Surface Design Show 2023!
