Decorex and London Design Fair join forces for London Design Festival 2017

Decorex, the London trade fair for interior design, and the London Design Fair will partner for London Design Festival 2017, offering visitors a broader perspective on design. Both events explore different aspects of the design community and through this enhanced experience, they are encouraging audiences to engage in an even wider discussion on the emerging trends and topics facing the industry today.

The collaboration between two complementary shows will see both present their exhibitions consecutively, with Decorex opening between 17 and 20 September and the London Design Fair from 21 to 24 September. Drawing on the synergies between the two, retail buyers, specifiers, architects, interior designers and design devotees can consider the many diverse facets of a range of contemporary interiors. A pass for either show will be valid at both, which means that visitors will be able to access two major destinations of the London Design Festival for virtually the entire festival. In addition, the partnership will be promoted on social media, with both shows picking their highlights from each event.

Decorex is celebrating 40 years of design this year as the opening destination of the London Design Festival. Established in 1978, Decorex is known as the resource for high-end interior designers, architects, specifiers, retailers and property developers. Boasting more than 400 exhibitors from leading names to emerging talents, this annual four-day show takes place each September in the prestigious location of Syon Park. Attracting nearly 14,000 visitors from across the globe, Decorex 2017 will be exploring design collaborations as this year’s show theme by focusing both on the strength of its past and current relationships and importantly looking towards those future partnerships.
