An unmissable date on the design calendar, Focus/25 on Design at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour is the place to discover the latest launches, all under one roof. Setting the agenda for the months ahead, this dynamic show is where connections are made, and ideas shared.
Over five days, Focus/25 on Design’s convening power brings together an unrivalled line-up of leading brands. There are 135 showrooms, including luxury flagships such as Pierre Frey, Schumacher and Ralph Lauren Home, as well boutique ateliers like Hector Finch, The Specified and Alexander Lamont + Miles, that do not exhibit anywhere else in the UK. Excelling in a range of specialist areas including the design and manufacture of exquisite fabrics and wallcoverings, bespoke furniture and handcrafted, artisanal products, the show is an essential destination for designers and architects sourcing for projects. Over 30+ Pop-up House Guests in situ in the Design Avenue offer more ways for visitors to encounter further inspiring collections.

Scores of 100+ Access All Areas events in the showrooms are an essential aspect: hear the creative director of a top brand introduce their new collection before showroom-hopping to a demonstration or panel discussion to ensure your professional development.
