Spotted

See new design talent at Top Drawer this September...

Spotted at Top Drawer 2010

Following the success of Spotted by Charlotte Abrahams, we are delighted to announce that this exciting showcase is set to return – in an expanded format - for September 2012.

Spotted is designed to create an entry point for a whole new generation of exhibitors and this year’s show will feature up to 12 handpicked design based businesses who have never before been seen at a major UK trade fair.

‘Everyone featured within the Spotted area is chosen for the quality and originality of the things they make,’ Charlotte says. ‘There’s such a wealth of talent out there but many small companies and individual designer-makers simply can’t afford to break into the trade fair market. By removing these financial obstacles, Clarion Events is giving these exciting businesses the opportunity to introduce their work to an international audience – and giving that audience yet another reason not to miss Top Drawer this autumn.’
