Surface Design Show 2026
2026-02-03 - 2026-02-05 | Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, London, N1 0QH, United Kingdom
The Surface Design Show returns to London’s Business Design Centre, placing a global spotlight on the evolving language of materials!
Long established as a leading destination for material innovation, SDS26 will deliver an immersive exhibition of pioneering surfaces and finishes, encouraging architects and designers to see, touch and engage with the future of material design.
At the core of the 2026 edition is the theme Material Evolution, which challenges traditional notions of “newness” and urges the industry to rethink value. Rather than focusing solely on the novel, the show reframes innovation as a process of reinvention transforming waste into worth through circular design, material transparency and responsible production. Reuse, rediscovery and regeneration sit alongside scientific and technological advancement as key drivers of progress.
SDS26 will feature an expanded programme, welcoming back popular elements such as Surface Spotlight, Stone Tapestry, the Innovation Gallery, Green Grads and the Surface Design Awards. A major new development for 2026 is a partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), which will host two of its flagship annual events at the show.
