The Sustainable Design Forum 2026
Now in its fourth year, the Sustainable Design Forum, curated by the Sustainable Design Collective, has become an annual meeting point for the design community. The Forum brings together designers, manufacturers and suppliers to share knowledge, exchange ideas and discuss practical ways our industry can move towards more sustainable practice.
The programme includes a mix of presentations, panel discussions and interactive workshops that explore real projects, challenges and opportunities in sustainable design.
This year, we are also introducing guided ‘supplier tours’, giving designers the opportunity to meet manufacturers and learn more about the materials and products they work with. The day will also feature a ‘speed-dating’ style discussion format, where participants can join short, focused conversations on key topics before moving on to the next table.
The Forum is designed to encourage open dialogue across the industry and create space for honest conversations about how we can work together to deliver more sustainable commercial interiors.
The day will conclude with informal networking over drinks.
