Evolve Design Show

  • Megan Blackwell

As a class of second-year interior design students from Arts University Plymouth we put together an industry-standard Interiors Trade Show called Evolve Design Show. The South West is sadly underrepresented with Trade Show events so we wanted to show off sustainable products to the design industry such as interior designers, property developers, architects and hoteliers etc. We had 12 exhibitors attend including Arte Walls, Sekers, Wemyss, Porta Romana, Lewis & Wood, Fermoie, Tektura, Amtico, Vispring, Kvadrat and Forbo. It was a success and we had over 100 attendees who all had great feedback on the event. Our design show ‘Evolve’ was held in Plymouth's historical area of the Barbican, at Custom House, as a one-night event on the 4th of May 2023.
