The Surface Design Show (Business Design Centre, Islington, London, 10-12 February 2009) is now seen as the ideal platform for both UK and international wallcovering specialists to introduce their latest designs to the UK and European market. Brian Yates and The Expanded Metal Company have proven to be two of the most popular exhibitors over the past several shows and will once again be appearing at the Business Design Centre. In 2009, they will be displaying their latest innovations alongside Chilewich, the American specialists in commercial-grade woven vinyl fabric architects and interior designers.

Chilewich will be introducing a number of new colour ranges in earth tones, deep greens, rich reds, and metallics to its innovative Plynyl® brand floor tile, wall to wall, wall covering and upholstery which rely on the stunning luminous quality of woven vinyl fabrics. Plynyl products have been embraced by the international design community and are used in commercial, residential, hotel and spas as well as retail projects. This innovative vinyl textile began its life as a modern alternative to traditional flooring.

Brian Yates offers one of the most comprehensive selections of wallcoverings and fabrics on the market. At the 2009 Surface Design Show, they will be introducing ROUGE, a new sophisticated vinyl-backed wallcovering suitable for domestic and contract use. Wonderfully versatile and eminently suitable for "high-traffic" areas. The new range includes a variety of options including smart semi-plains with up-to-the-minute textured crush effects in an eclectic range of colours from metallic gold lustres to stone and taupes.

The Expanded Metal Company is the original UK expanded metal manufacturer. Their extensive range of mesh gives contemporary design freedom and is versatile for combining throughout interior and exterior architecture applications.

The Expanded Metal company will be launching the new Interior Collection at SDS2009. The Interior Collection is a range consisting of three collections of meshes which have been carefully selected to be specifically used in interior applications.

The Surface Design Show 2009 will also feature hundreds of the latest and most imaginative products by over a hundred of the world’s leading surface designers and manufacturers helping to guarantee that the show remains a unique and must-see event for all architects, designers and specifiers.
