The January edition of Home, Top Drawer and CRAFT was exceptionally well received. Buyers enthusiastically embraced the new venue and layout, which saw Home, Top Drawer and CRAFT increase in size to span an impressive four halls and two levels at London Olympia. The event saw an international attendance increase of over 10 per cent along with influential UK buyers including Anthropologie, John Lewis, Liberty, Paul Smith, Marks & Spencer, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Urban Outfitters and Ralph Lauren all in attendance. Home, which consisted of two key elements, Modern Home Cook & Dine and Decorative Home, recruited its inspiring line-up of high quality exhibitors and exclusive product launches. Design heavyweights, including Bliss Home, Grand Illusions*, LSA International, Alessi, and Forma House, chose Home as their exclusive UK event. The show also saw a strong intake of new Home exhibitors, with Joseph Joseph, Apollo Housewares, Deadgood, George East, ICTC, Grunwerg and Skagerak joining established Home converts such as Gilberts, Stelton, iittala, Universal Expert, Robert Welch, Marimekko, Mini Moderns and Crown Trent. Home and Top Drawer will return to London Olympia this Autumn between 13-15 September 2015.
