The 46th edition of Decorex, held from 6-9 October at Olympia London, welcomed over 12,500 members of the interior design community for four days of high-end design inspiration and innovation. The event saw 280 brands showcasing their latest collections across Olympia’s Grand Hall and National Hall, making it a landmark occasion in the design calendar.
The event featured an array of impressive exhibitor stands, designer collaborations, and new product launches, alongside a packed schedule of talks focused on sustainability and cutting-edge design trends. Attendees included leading interior design studios such as Beata Heuman, Carden Cunietti, Studio Ashby, and Turner Pocock, who engaged with the show’s extensive offerings.
A Showcase of British Craftsmanship and Global Innovation
Decorex Event Director, Sam Fisher, highlighted the event’s significance: “We were delighted to welcome the Decorex community back to Olympia for an incredible four days of design excellence. From exceptional British craftsmanship to global design names, Decorex remains a must-visit for those seeking the latest in high-end design and manufacturing.”
The success of the event is reflected in the strong interest for Decorex 2025, with over 100 brands, including Frato, The Soho Lighting Company, and Riviere, already confirmed for next year’s edition.
Creative Collaborations Inspire at Every Turn
The event’s creative collaborations left a lasting impression. Notable highlights included ‘The Woven Room’ by The New Craftmakers, which showcased traditional basketry techniques from across the UK, and a live mural by Maria Christina Design. Additionally, the VIP Lounge, transformed by YesColours into the ‘Synesthetic Studio’, offered an immersive experience exploring the connection between design, sustainability, and sensory engagement.
Awards Highlight Innovation and Sustainability
Decorex also celebrated the creativity and innovation of its exhibitors through its Stand Awards. Bert Frank won ‘Best Space Only Stand’ for its immersive lighting display, while Floor Story took home ‘Best Newcomer’ for their eclectic rug collection in collaboration with Henry Holland. Armac Martin received the ‘Best Product’ award for their decorative cabinet handle, and Tori Murphy Textiles won ‘Best Shell Scheme’ for their elegant fabric display.
In a move towards recognising sustainability efforts, the event introduced new awards, including the Planet Conscious Award, won by CTO Lighting, and the Social Change Award, awarded to Allwina for their work empowering women in South American artisan communities.
Looking Ahead
With plans already in motion for 2025, Decorex continues to set the standard for interior design exhibitions. Sam Fisher reflected on this year’s achievements, stating: “The creativity and innovation on display were truly exceptional, and we look forward to building on this success for Decorex 2025.”
The next Decorex will take place at Olympia London from 12-15 October 2025, promising another unforgettable showcase of the best in design and sustainability.
