This year's Surface Design Show didn’t disappoint. Much like what we do here, the show houses a huge array of leading materials manufacturers from around the UK and overseas.
We had a great mooch about, talking to some old friends and making some new contacts which will no doubt bear fruit in the form of exciting new samples in the studio in the coming weeks – watch this space!
As we mentioned when the nominees were announced at the end of last year, as well as exhibitors the show also hosts its annual awards ceremony. Here’s a rundown of the winners and ones to watch for 2017:
