This year’s major event features various furniture suppliers from around the world presenting their latest Upholstery, Cabinet, Bedroom Cabinet, Beds and Accessory ranges for the forthcoming Autumn/Winter season.
For Ashwood, the business has something exciting for the upcoming Autumn show. “We are launching a new import leather collection. We recently showed it at AIS and it had a very good reaction.”

The range features a two-tier fibre filled supportive high back cushions and curved padded arm details. Available in all Celebrity fabrics and is fitted as standard with Mammoth Medical Grade™ Foam Seating Technology.
Award-winning German bedroom manufacturer, Wiemann, is taking its latest stunning contemporary bedroom furniture to the Autumn Furniture Show. The company’s stand looks set to be the hot ticket as the team behind the brand looks forward to showing off the quality products and customer service commitment it believes is behind its summer success in various industry-voted awards.
Litmus Furniture is Wiemann’s sole agent for the UK and Ireland. Managing director Simon Hewitt commented: “New range New York, will be on display as well as best-selling Shaker-style Cambridge and established favourite Miami Plus.”

The range includes floor lamps both large and small, table and desk lamps, with integrated LED, with shades, made of glass, with remote control, even with voice control via an Alexa; the list of features goes on but, essentially, Euro Lamps knows that consumers buy with their eyes and to a budget.
“At the show, we will be offering a 2m tall, arc style floor lamp, with fabric shade, in chrome at a promotional price of under £60,” the business said. “Our UK number one selling three arm LED floor lamp will be priced from under £70, and the shower proof, rechargeable LED table lamps, suitable for patios that Neuhaus have sold in their thousands across Europe, will start at just over £20.”
Meanwhile, Vogue Beds will be presenting the Climate Mattress collection, which has a new recyclable fabric, with the construction of the fabric made from polyester/repreve, which is yarn extracted from plastic bottles from the ocean. “We offer three types of Climate mattresses featuring three pocket counts, 1000 Pocket, 1500 Pocket & 2000 Pocket all the Pocket springs have been approved and certified by the Vegan Society ensuring no animal content is used in the manufacturing process,” said Bilkis. “This moves us beyond just ‘Vegan Friendly’, offering the retailer and consumer the very best of sustainable, recyclable and comfortable mattress choices.”
