Top Drawer AW returns to Olympia this September offering a host of design-led exhibitors for visitors to discover

The Launchpad sector puts fresh faces in the spotlight, allowing them to network with highcalibre buyers and build lasting connections within the industry

Top Drawer, the UK’s leading designled lifestyle and interiors trade show, returns to Olympia once again to showcase its unmissable AW22 edit – just in time for the industry’s mostanticipated buying season.

Held in the very heart of London, this show promises to have buyers and attendees completely spoiled with its line-up of hand-picked exhibitors, exclusive trends, curated seminar sessions and so much more.

More than 1,500 brands from the UK and abroad will be joining for this latest edition, including the likes of Alljoy Design, Rosie Made A Thing, James Ellis, Roger La Borde, Lottie Murphy, Print Circus, The Sugar Shed, Morgan Wright, CHALK, Roka London, Little Concepts, Aery, Bronte By Moon, Izipizi, Kikkerland Europe, Bookspeed, Plum & Ashby and Alex Monroe to name just a few. Launchpad

Alongside top brands and household names, Top Drawer is proud to be a platform for promising new talent; the Launchpad sector, which made its debut during the SS22 edition, puts fresh faces in the spotlight, allowing them to network with high-calibre buyers and build lasting connections within the industry. For this edition, we’ll also see the return of the show’s partnership with the University of Arts London, as well as introducing a selection of Young Furniture Makers who have been handselected to showcase their products and are eager to increase their brand exposure.

This show offers an unparalleled range of products to discover from across the lifestyle spectrum. Divided into nine curated sectors, covering everything from artisanal foods to the latest must-have accessories, buyers will be completely spoiled for choice during their visit.

With such a wide variety of brands in attendance, Top Drawer attracts an equally diverse range of retailers to every single show; from concept stores, museums shops, boutiques and independents to luxury retailers, garden centres and supermarkets. Positive outlook

While both the AW21 and SS22 shows provided an opportunity to test the waters in a post-pandemic climate, Top Drawer’s new season message ‘Retail Revitalised’ aims to highlight how we are beginning a fresh chapter in the world of retail and looking ahead with an unapologetically positive outlook for this September’s edition.

The world of retail is ever-changing, and Top Drawer is here to help you adapt, learn and grow to stay relevant – with unmissable tips, expert advice and thoughtprovoking conversations.
