Surface Design Show

This show is a definate must if your a surface Designer; it gives you great insight to new surfaces, textures and materials out there as well as trend forcast and of course- ideas and inspiration.


I've been going for the last two years now; last year I got the chance to exhibit some of my own work on the Leeuwenburgh stand; a company we did a live project brief with at Uni as well as the Huddersfield stand as well. This year Leeuwenburgh weren't there and apparently didn't do a brief for this years 2nd year students. The Uni stand looked good with graduates work and 3D printing examples, I stopped for a chat with Jo (Jo Harris- head of Surface Design at Uni) about placement and 3rd year.


There were some really interesting textures and materials this year; magnetic fabric wall tiles and engraving and printing onto concrete- even so I'd have to say the show seemed a little smaller than last year.
