Designersblock will collaborate with the UK’s largest trade interiors event, Interiors UK, to produce a creatively-driven feature area where visitors will be able to find inspiration within a vibrant, relaxing and stimulating hub.

The area will be based on the concept of a Design Village, with a bar, market stalls and games along with the New Design Britain finalists, the Birmingham City University trend pavilion, seminar theatre and areas for VIP and media visitors.

This new neighbourhood will be home to some of the industry’s leading designers including Puff & Flock, Donna Walker, Chloe Scadding, Fay McCaul, Daniel Schofield, Lazerian, Freya Godwin Brown, Helga Matos, JAILmake, SCIN Gallery, Graphic Relief, Jo Gibbs and Camilla Meijer
Visitors will be able to go to the bar and meet designers and industry luminaries, take part in a programme of workshops and demonstrations, attend seminars, contribute to broadcasts and publications, and source new product directly from the UK and abroad from furniture, lighting, accessories and textiles.

The bar hosts will include: Alex Brownless, co-founder of Arts Thread; author and journalist Helen Parton; Annabelle Filer, owner of SCIN Gallery; and designer and trend analyst Leo Harris.
