Surface Design Show 2026
London’s primary trade fair for architects and designers to explore the latest in surface materials and finishes.
Location: Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, Islington, London N1 0QH, United Kingdom
Date: 3 February – 5 February 2026
The Surface Design Show 2026 (SDS26) invites architects, interior designers, specifiers and building‑industry professionals to engage with the newest surface materials and finishes for interior and exterior applications.
Over three days the show features around 180–200 exhibitors offering products including cladding, flooring, natural stone, tiles, wall coverings, sustainable materials, and other surface solutions. The event presents curated features such as the Innovation Gallery, the Stone Knowledge Hub, Surface Spotlight, and the annual Surface Design Awards — all framed under the 2026 theme “Material Evolution.”
This theme emphasises circularity, material transparency, reuse and redefinition of “newness” in surface design. The show aims to provide both inspiration and practical opportunities to source materials for real‑world architectural and interior projects.
