The Future of Luxury Surface Design

EXHIBITION DESIGN & material CURATION FOR DECOREX

The 21st century has proven to be an enriching and progressive period for Surface Design. The manufacturers and makers selected for this special material hub at Decorex offer a cross section of some of the most current and distinct luxury surfaces around including, Giles Miller Studio, Tex-Tile and Tactility Factory.

 

The sleek exhibition stands were made from raw welded steel and black MDF and designed to create an elegantly minimal but stylish backdrop for the large-scale surfaces and objects within the space, which was made up of a set of walkways. Exhibits included those that explore how technologies have opened up new horizons for surface construction and manipulation and are becoming evermore available, quicker and easier to use. Such processes mean we are afforded the luxury of time and peace of mind; quality is assured and all of this on top of genuine innovation.

 

Other work highlighted a noted reemergence of the craft of traditional and time-intensive processes such as Silkscreen printing, Stitch work and moulding. The time taken in learning and honing these skills, coupled with the precision and detail they create makes for highly covetable surfaces that have a time-earned quality and inherent sense of premeditated longevity.

“Our collective awareness of and now even individual ability to produce beautiful and bespoke surfaces has reached an all time high. With this have come developments in quality, availability and choice – which allow a broad spectrum with which to measure the levels of luxury that these new surfaces offer us and which transcends the value of the materials used to create them alone.”
