10 new launches we spotted at London Design Week

This year’s London Design Week was filled with new, exciting launches, sure to give your kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom a stylish upgrade. And naturally, we were there to give you the lowdown…

Just like every year, we headed to the Design Centre at Chelsea Harbour, to discover all the amazing displays and products showcased as part of London Design Week (9 – 13 March). While the stands were practically endless and there was really so much to see – I still can’t get over the amount of wallpaper designs on show – there were a few items that stood out to me.

So, here are 10 of the new launches I spotted, which could give your home a little revamp this spring and summer season.

1. Graceful pendants

A country chic kitchen with a freestanding island, wood flooring, and statement pendant light.

Reimagining classic silhouettes, lights&lamps’ latest collection, Avenue&Acre combines clean architectural lines with warm, expressive detailing. It is particularly ideal for a country-style kitchen, with a contemporary twist. The range comprises 75 new lights and lamps, crafted from a rich material palette that includes rosso marble, solid cast metals, real silks, and vintage prints. 

2. Heritage fabric designs

A statement seating area with an upholstered seat, wood furniture, and chunky, patterned curtains.
Chair and back curtain in Caledonian in Pine Green, K5385/03, £140 per metre. Left curtain in Bromley in Pine Green, K5385/05, £119 per metre. Both by Kirkby Design.

The third collaboration between Kirkby Design and Transport for London (TfL), Underground Vol.III is a collection of upholstery velvets derived from iconic designs historically used across the TfL network. Eight archival patterns, dating from the 1910s to the present day, have been reinterpreted and recoloured for a contemporary setting. Each of them has been transformed into a luxury velvet that explores scale, texture, and colour in a fresh palette. 

3. Organic-looking tiles

The tiles in this London Design Week display are Ann Sacks x Studio McGee 3 x 6” in Oxblood. Part of the Ashton Meadows collection, priced £270 per sq m, available from West One Bathrooms.

Launched in the UK for the first time from West One Bathrooms, the European Ann Sacks x Studio McGee tile collections are bound to bring quiet luxury into your space. A mix of ceramic and stone-look tiles, each of the five ranges – Ashton Meadows, Willow Heights, Canyon Lake, Novah, and Linen Weave – reflects Studio McGee’s approach to liveable luxury, paired with Ann Sacks’ expertise in materiality, craftsmanship, and surface design. 

4. Classic-chic floors

A luxurious entryway design with wood stairs and marble flooring.
Versailles marble tiles, price on application, Ca’ Pietra.

In Ca’ Pietra’s Versailles tile collection, marble is celebrated not as a relic of the past, but as something quietly expressive and relevant to a vibrant, lived-in home.

Each tile is unique. With natural veining and tonal shifts that give floors and walls depth, you can create layered, personal rooms. The range explores marble through the lens of colour and history, drawing on the boldness and richness of French Baroque interiors while remaining firmly rooted in contemporary design. 

From deep chestnut browns through to softer creams, each of the coloured marble tiles has its own personality. There are six colours to choose from (Ecru, Vert, Noir, Crème, Brun, and Marron), with a tile size of 45.7x 45.7cm. 

5. Circus stripes

Small Ringmaster pendants in Strawberry & Coconut and Persian Blue & Coconut, £330 each, David Hunt Lighting.

This unapologetically striped pendant takes its inspiration from the striped canvas of classic big top circus tents. Designed to bring colour and whimsy into the home, David Hunt Lighting’s Ringmaster designs can be customised using the brand’s bespoke paint palette of eighteen colours, giving each of them almost limitless options for personalisation. 

Available in both small and large sizes, the pendants can be adapted to suit a wide range of design schemes. In a joyful children’s bedroom, they will bring a playful touch. Meanwhile, in more neutral spaces, such as kitchens, you can opt for softer tones like Sage Green and Coconut White. 

6. Textured handle designs

From front to back: 16mm Wire Recess Amalfine Beam Pull (P4159) in Silver Bronze/ Fine Antique, £325.60; 16mm Woven Recess Amalfine Beam Pull (P4132) in Cocoa/Satin Nickel, £256; and 19mm Shagreen Recess Amalfine Beam Pull (P4475) in Sand/Satin Brass Waxed, £353.50. All Turnstyle Designs.

For extra-tactile, characterful handles, turn to Turnstyle Designs and their Beam Pull. This long pull handle is designed for use on tall cabinetry, available in up to 48 finish combinations. Its slimline, pure brass body is available in a range of plated or living finishes, from the contemporary, high-shine Bright Chrome to the rich, deep Fine Antique.

The handle’s asymmetric grip section also enhances visual interest and tactility, and is available in a variety of finish options – solid or hammered brass, hand-stitched leather, or Turnstyle’s signature Amalfine.

7. Spirited pattern layering

Seen at London Design Week, Birdie Fortescue’s new collection of furniture, lighting, rugs, and decorative accessories captures spring’s joyful spirit. Its name drawing inspiration from the Sanskrit word for springtime, Vasanti is crafted by hand in small, carefully curated production runs, showcasing a blend of traditional and contemporary elements, through beautifully patterned designs in a rich colour palette – all informed by Birdie’s travels around the world.

The Vasanti outdoor cushions – Lotus, Patti, and Ogee – are available in water-resistant and fadeproof fabrics, while the indoor block-printed and embroidered pieces – Ogee, Patti, Registan, Khiva, and Rassi – feature soft textures and playful trims.

8. Stylish gaming

Who knew classic games such as chess and backgammon could inspire such whimsical, colourful fabric designs? Annika Reed Studio’s latest fabric collection is shaped by the rituals and the realities of play, turning familiar pastimes into considered, block-printed patterns that grace each of the items.

The range draws from board games, playground games, pub games, and even winter sports or circus skills picked up at fêtes and school clubs. Each design begins as a block print, where slight irregularities and variations are part of the process. The result is a pattern drawn from familiar forms and reworked for everyday interiors.

9. Lighting that flows

A unique lamp base in red with a linen shade.
Bosco Lamp in Red Earth, shown with 11” Bongo shade in Natural linen, £1512, with the shade at £211, Porta Romana.

Aptly named Flow, Porta Romana’s Spring Summer 2026 collection is shaped by movement, exploring how materiality can drive design. Think hand-blown glass that appears as if it’s still molten or pieces of furniture with curves and twists. Essentially, a sense of motion captured in solid form, across lighting, furniture, and mirrors. Each of these stunning pieces is handmade by skilful artisans.

10. Coastal charm

A coastal design with patterned wallpaper, wall art, and a matching armchair.
Coral Etchings parchment wallpaper in Ocean, £180 per roll, and the Beth chair, £2850, both Emma Wood Home.

Sitting in Emma Wood Home’s Coastal Waters collection which evokes a bygone era of the British seaside, the Coral Etchings parchment wallpaper in Ocean is inspired by vintage bookplate prints and the UK coastal floral and fauna, while it has a vintage feel evocative of Agatha Christie, Burgh Island, and the coastline of a bygone era.

Meanwhile, the Beth chair is the perfect bedroom slipper chair design. Complete with padded slipper back and box pleat peplum, it wins bonus romantic points. The chair frame is hand-built from UK sustainable wood supplies and hand-sewn by upholstery craftsmen.
