We’re going to two shows this October. The first will be Decorex on the 9th-12th October. Blue Patch will be on stand D 161 so please stop and say hello if you are attending.
This year, the Decorex talks will have subjects like
- Emotion & Design,
- Sustainability,
- Growing Your Business and
- Harnessing New Energy in Design.
The Blue Patch members who are collaborating on the exhibition this year all demonstrate these ideals in their individual businesses.
