YOUNG FURNITURE MAKERS
It was a not to miss! Our Young Furniture Makers showcased at the show. The display of young makers gave us insight into what the future of the industry holds.
CECM - EXPERIENTIAL LIVE WORKSHOP
We were delighted to house an experiential live workshop, created in partnership with the Centre for Excellence in Creative Making (CECM). The CECM is established as a trade skills preservation initiative, supporting the ‘Makers’, artisans and manufacturing industries across UK leather and associated component supply chains. The main focus of these immersive sessions was to showcase the trade skills servicing the lifestyle sector
- interiors, specialising in upholstery, soft furnishings, furniture and accessories making. Throughout the four days we saw products being made by specialists in their field, demonstrating traditional heritage skills, combining contemporary applications, and creating products with sustainable materials.
We aim to celebrate ‘craft’ and shine a spotlight on the fresh new talent in the industry.
WE LAUNCHED THE HOME INTERIORS SHOW!
The launch party celebrated the all-new Home Interiors Show. A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place to mark this very special occasion, guest celebrity TV personality, Interior Designer and founder of The London Rug Company, Dawn Ward, was on hand to do the honours in cutting the ribbon.
