Extraordinary Top Drawer

The Autumn Winter edition of Top Drawer (London’s Olympia from September 8-10) is promising its ‘most extraordinary’ edit of home, gift and lifestyle products. For the first time, Pulse is co-located with the show, whose ten sectors include Home (with Classic and Modern sections), Spotted, Craft and Food Emporium. It also hosts news Retail Clinics and will provide visitors with an eco trail.

Of the enhanced offering, Top Drawer show director Alejandra Campos said: “Top Drawer has always been at the forefront of industry trends and cutting-edge content. The co-location with Pulse, which is known for presenting the next wave of design talent, makes for the perfect complement to our existing offering. With the amalgamation of the two shows, visitors will have the ability to explore the largest presentation of commercially-ready emerging brands and design, as well as the industry’s bigger, more established names.”

The Giftware Association’s chairman Jeremy Corner (md of Blue Eyed Sun and UK distributor of BambooCup) is curating this year’s eco trail. Jeremy says the trail is“made up from an exceptional group of suppliers that are leading the way in facilitating this important shift in consumer behaviour.”
