We had a lovely conversation with @izzykellydesign from Fallen Furniture at Surface Design Show 2026, where she shared insights from her @greengradsuk project, a powerful exploration of the UK’s mass importation of timber and how the industry can rethink its material footprint. By sourcing local timber waste and giving it new life through thoughtful craftsmanship, she demonstrated how discarded offcuts can be transformed into striking, functional furniture pieces.

We had the pleasure of catching up with the team at @armourcoat at Surface Design Show 2026, where they walked us through their world of luxury surface finishes, from refined clay‑lime master renders to beautifully crafted polished plasters. They showcased how natural materials like clay, lime and recycled crushed marble can create breathable, durable and visually rich finishes that elevate any interior.

They also shared what keeps them coming back to Surface Design Show year after year: the chance to connect with designers and architects who value craftsmanship, sustainability and the artistry behind truly bespoke surfaces.

We had the pleasure of talking to Josh Myers from @denimolite and @greengradsuk at Surface Design Show 2026, where he introduced his innovative material made from waste denim and plant‑based bio‑resin. The result is a strong, beautifully marbled composite that offers designers a circular alternative to traditional finishes, turning discarded fashion into durable, story‑rich surfaces.

Watch the video to find out more about how Denimolite transforms waste into meaningful design.
