They include Abrams & Chronicle, Aery, Archivist, Arthouse Unlimited, Big Metal, Bookspeed, Chalk UK, Chive, Designed in Colour, Designworks Ink, Hyggen, Klippan, Lisa Angel, Locomocean, Morgan Wright, Ohh Deer, Plum & Ashby, Redecker, Roger La Borde, Roka London, S-c Brands, St Eval Candle Company, Suck UK, Talking Tables, and Toasted Crumpet Designs.

The overall event is on course to showcase almost 10% more brands than in 2023, with over 30% of the 2024 exhibitors making their Top Drawer debut, including A Beautiful Story, Conscious Yoga Collective, Cranbourn, dog&boy, Ham, Hello Hossy, Museums & Galleries, Skyline Chess, The Paper Lobster, and Uashmama.

In addition to the overall expansion, areas of the show enjoying especially significant growth include the Home and Greetings & Stationery sections, which will see over 30% and 50% more exhibitors this year respectively.

Since its introduction in 2022, the Launchpad section of Top Drawer has become synonymous with new, emerging talent, with all brands selected by show manager David Westbrooke. This season’s Launchpad is set to host over 30 new suppliers, including Concrete Jungle, Ella Fletcher Designs, Fluffmallow, Fred & Noah, Mimo, Moody Studio, Neesh Homewares, Skunk Super Store, Westmount Art, and Willow Leather.

As well as product sourcing, there will also be an inspirational line-up of speakers taking to the Retail Revealed stage, with the Business Hub again offering visitors the opportunity to sit down 1-2-1 with industry experts to get free personalised advice.  Following their successful introduction in January, the Spotlight Awardswill also be taking place again this September, celebrating the very best brands exhibiting at the show.

Meanwhile, new at the show will be the Top Drawer Product Pitch – in partnership with The Great Brand Exchange – giving exhibitors the chance to present their products to a panel of industry experts and win a one week pop-up with a leading retailer.

Additionally, making its debut, will be the Women in Furniture Network (WIFN) which will be at Top Drawer on the 9 September for an Amplify Your Voicenetworking evening. Visitors will be able to hear from an inspiring panel along with the opportunity to meet and mingle with creative like-minded women working in all aspects of the furniture and design industry.

“There’s so much going on at the event this September!” states Top Drawer’s show manager David Westbrooke. “More brands, more launches, more newness! The team are working around the clock to make this edition of Top Drawer Autumn the best in years, and with the details of more features and initiatives set to be revealed over the coming weeks, I can’t wait to get onsite!”
