 Statement Designs & Quality Craftmanship – Our Pick from Decorex International

There was a buzz in the air as the Design Community came together once again at Decorex International. With over 400 emerging and established brands showcasing their latest designs, it was wonderful to be able to look and feel the quality of the craftsmanship and materials.

From statement lighting and art deco sofas to handcrafted curtain poles and bespoke joinery, we share some of our favourite brands for you to keep in mind in your own future projects.
