Celebrating a successful 45th edition of Decorex at Olympia London last week, the industry united for an interior design showcase to discover unique products and collection launches.
There were many amazing collections to see, so we asked those who attended from our design team to contribute their top five product highlights from this year’s show.
Discrete bar joinery lighting
We loved the different ways of lighting display shelves to create an impact.
The contour LED strip is concealed both as a backlight at the bottom of each shelf and as a front light on some shelves for variety.
We loved their new discreet Minim down light, used to brighten some individual shelves to enhance allure and drama.

Sustainable light pendants
We came across Kaia’s stand (a German lighting company) at Decorex where Ula Saniawa, a ceramic artist and her beautiful lights were located.
Reincarnation is a stunning light which is made from leftover crushed ceramics, marble, paper and wood dust collected from the studio itself (Unit89).
A light that celebrates sustainability and the beauty of imperfections, balancing raw materials and form to create something amazing!
Ula also creates intricate layered chandeliers, beautiful handmade porcelain artwork and objects.

A knotted timber coffee table with a beautiful textured tabletop
We loved this contemporary and unique table design.
It is cleverly constructed from various solid wood components carved individually and assembled with hidden joints.
Designed by Object Studio, their creative vision is of constant innovation through combining traditional craftsmanship techniques with contemporary design and manufacturing processes inspired by external and internal artistic inputs.

Unique mixed-media artwork
The ‘Broken Things’ series draws inspiration from Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of restoring ceramics using gold lacquer.
Curated by Curio, this was a beautiful series of unique mixed-media artwork exploring themes of imperfection, waste, and consumerism.
The artwork uses Giclée printing on cotton paper. Fragments of torn photographs of discarded ceramic objects are meticulously reconnected through delicate stitching in gold thread.

Beautiful curved sofas
The Sennen Sectional by Sedilia has been designed to be a striking centrepiece. With the versatility of multiple configurations, it can be tailored to suit any interior and lifestyle.
The sofa has a choice of two arm designs – the curved arm creates a comfy cocooning corner, ideal for relaxing, or the open arm, where the seat flows forward, offering into the room.
These beautiful sofas are handmade in London.
