Decorex Creative by Claire Coles

Decorex is delighted to announce its 2026 creative collaboration with acclaimed decorative artist Claire Coles, whose distinctive visual language will shape the creative identity of this year’s show.

Renowned for her intricate mixed-media designs, Claire’s work brings together richly layered depictions of flora and fauna, crafted from paper, leather and paint. Her thoughtfully composed designs will be woven throughout every touchpoint of Decorex, from digital platforms and social content to immersive installations across the show floor.

Blurring the boundaries between interior design and fine art, Claire specialises in couture handcrafted wallpaper murals and appliqué artworks. Her work has been featured by leading fashion houses including Jaeger and Missoni, and each piece is meticulously made to order in her Norfolk studio using the finest materials.

Designer Collaborations: Immersive Luxury Experiences

A defining highlight of Decorex, are the designer collaborations which invite leading interior designers to transform key spaces within the show into immersive, concept-driven environments.

For 2026, Claudia Dorsch will design the exclusive VIP Lounge. Known for interiors shaped by restraint, materiality and architectural sensitivity, Dorsch’s concept reinterprets the chalet for a contemporary audience. Back to the Future – The Chalet Reimagined presents an evolving vision of alpine design, honouring the warmth and traditions of chalet living: timber, fire and craftsmanship, while drawing them into a contemporary register. Influenced by the understated decadence of 1970s Italian ski culture, the design creates a richly layered retreat designed to be lived in across the seasons.

Designed in collaboration with AEVEN, the Decorex 2026 Bar will be brought to life by co-founders Alex Dauley and Grant Pierrus, through the concept of ‘A Seat at the Table’, an immersive communal space exploring connection, craft and collective creativity. Anchored by one long, shared table and surrounded by an eclectic collection of individually sourced chairs from across the global design community, the installation will celebrate the many voices, perspectives and makers shaping the future of design.
