In the light of the royal wedding, the British furniture brands would be flying the flag at the Manchester Furniture Show slated for 15-17th July at Manchester Central.
Major UK upholstery and cabinet brands in the MidPoint sector of the show add to the prestige of the exhibitor line-up.
On the list are Premium British brands like Tetrad, Whitemeadow and Westbridge which will show colourful new sofas and chairs in plush velvets, bright cottons and rich wools, while on the mainstream, brands like Buoyant, Ashley Manor, XYZ and The Great Chair Company will bring dozens of fresh upholstery designs in florals, crisp neutrals and modern geometrics.
Speaking of cabinet furniture, Carlton, Seconique, Heartlands and Value Mark all promise new ranges, in a variety of textures and styles. Shaker-style and reclaimed woods will mix with metal, glass, wood and leather to seize visitors’ attention, while painted furniture, which remains on trend, will be displayed in new adventurous colours including navy, charcoal and claret.
Meanwhile, popular Irish companies Vida Living and Bluebone will return to Manchester with their inventive and imaginative living, dining and bedroom cabinet collections.
It’s important to mention that Beds are always popular at Manchester, so we are quite sure that British companies exhibiting in this sector will not disappoint.
