DECOREX INTERNATIONAL once again descends on Syon Park London in September 2018

Once again kicking off London Design Festival, the 41st edition of Decorex International (16th – 19th September) will see the great and good of high-end interior design descend on Syon Park to present the latest in luxury interiors.

This year, the show’s 400 exhibitors will include some of the industry’s best-known names, from Knot Rugs, Ian Sanderson and Dedar to Little Green, Timorous Beasties and Robert Langford. Decorex will also welcome around 50 first-time exhibitors - Officine Gullo, Sahrai, Meisterwerke, Another Country, Sharon Marston and Benott among them.

The acclaimed Future Heritage exhibition, curated by design critic and curator Corinne Julius, will return this year with new work by names including Tord Boontje and Marcin Rusak, while the entrance will see this year’s show theme – ‘Blank Canvas’ – explored through installations by leading British interior designers Henry Prideaux, Simone Suss, Maddux Collective and Brian Woulfe. 

Many will use the occasion of the international audience to launch their new ranges and collections.

For one, Meystyle will unveil its latest collection, Conductivity, of LED wallpaper that combines dazzling natural textures, bold patterns with an unprecedented use of light patterns.  By integrating LED lights and crystals, Meystyle will create deep visual experiences that transforms walls and wallpaper into works of art.  Different wavelengths and levels of light intensity combine to form dynamic compositions, from cascading lines merging into sumptuous light waterfalls, to concentric circles.  A selection of natural meterials, from refined linens and cotton canvases to elegant silk were used. The designs are enriched further by a variety of metal accents, hand-painted details and gilded applications.

Designers Martin Huxford and Louis Jobst will show new geometric lighting at Decorex 2018. 
Huxford’s The Cairo Arch Pendant Light is inspired by the radical geometry of Constructivist art. The design uses the classic forms of circle, triangle and semi-circle, suspending and piercing the shapes, to create a graphic gold and black contemporary light.  Louis Jobst will show the latest editions in his The Monument Collection, designed using simplified geometric forms inspired by architectural component such as arches, columns and monoliths, with references drawn from early 20th century design.

Meanwhile, Decorex is launching a new area called CraftWork for stands showcasing craft design businesses in their infancy, featuring nine companies and makers from varying disciplines offering products of exceptional craftsmanship, the participating businesses have each been operating for fewer than five year and are all showing at Decorex for the first time.

Also an extensive seminar programme will see industry experts including high-profile interior designers, craftspeople and makers, leading journalists, brand founders, marketteers and senior consultants.

Decorex International will welcome a national and international visiting demographic of more that 14,000, including interior designers, retailers, specifiers and architects, to view its platform of some of the industry's very best and up-and-coming designs.
