Design Centre Chelsea Harbour has unveiled programme highlights for Focus/19, set to bring together industry professionals and design enthusiasts for six days in September. Expanding the show this year, an enhanced agenda features more product launches and showroom openings than ever before, alongside an abundance of insider insights and specialist knowledge.

New collections from 600 international brands will also look to the future with fresh colours, narratives and techniques, while meet the designer sessions, workshops, discovery tours and artisan demonstrations are expected to further inspire and inform.
