The west London event, hosted by Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, will see more than 500 international brands showing their wares, alongside a hefty talks programme, workshops and curated tours, led by stylist Emilio Pimentel-Reid who will be revealing his ‘secret resources’, according to organisers.

If all this unearthing of interiors zeitgeists renders you in need of some refreshment, thankfully the pop up Tatler Restaurant is on hand. Though even while you munch, you needn’t stop learning – Mariella Tandy, the magazine’s retail editor, will be chattering over coffee about the new trends for interiors.

Fabrics: ?Mirella by Romo, Idaho by Boussac at Pierre Frey, Indus and Nambie both by Pierre Frey, ?Blazeby Harlequin, ?Parker Jute Herringbone by Schumacher at Turnell and Gigon.

The Conversations in Design programme will see speakers including – bizarrely – Jamie Theakston, formerly of Live and Kicking fame, will be speaking with Suzanne Imrie about the inspiration behind his interiors projects.
