Following its successful January debut, Top Drawer’s DesignTalk—a dedicated seminar stream for interior professionals and design-led retailers—will debut at the show in September, presenting specialist advice, trend analysis and discussion from leading interior designers. The seminar programme will complement the popular RetailFest programme.
Other show highlights include Pulse, co-locating with both Top Drawer and Spotted for the first time, which will be turning the spotlight on emerging talent and new brands. In addition, MR. and the MR. Lifestyle product trail will be making their debut having successfully launched at Top Drawer in January. Returning meanwhile, will be the Paper Awards and Spotted Award highlighting industry innovation and trends.
In all, ten curated and presented sectors – Home, Gift, Fashion, Greetings & Stationery, Play, Pulse & Spotted, Craft, Food Emporium, as well as the brand new Retail Clinics – will enable visitors to discover the latest trends and gain expert advice.
“Top Drawer has always been at the forefront of industry trends and cutting-edge content,” states show director Alejandra Campos. “The co-location with Pulse, which is known for presenting the next wave of design talent, makes for the perfect complement to our existing offering. With the amalgamation of the two shows, visitors will have the ability to explore the largest presentation of commercially-ready emerging brands and design, as well as the industry’s bigger, more established names.”
