Budding designers from Birmingham City University will unveil a range of new design concepts, for the first time, at the 2016 January Furniture Show.
The BA Textile Design students, who work with trends forecast by international industry experts Global Color Research, will bring to life two show stopping roomsets – ‘Strata’ and ‘Play’ – featuring textiles, ceramics, lighting and wall and floor coverings at the exhibition (24-27 January, NEC, Birmingham).
Charmaine Stint, programme manager of Birmingham City University said: “We are delighted to have been offered stand space at the January Furniture Show – the main furniture industry trade event – where our students can present their ideas to a key audience.
“We work with a range of industry partners and collaborators to provide new concepts which are fresh and engaging. Our students can always be relied upon for new thinking and impressive outcomes which generate some truly innovative content. It’s this innovation which drives us and our partners to push the boundaries and is one of the most motivating elements of this showcase.”
Said Steve Richards, co-director of the January Furniture Show: “This is a great opportunity to see what some of the potential stars of the furniture future have got to say when it comes to home furnishings and interior designs. We are looking forward to seeing what is unveiled at the show.”
