SURFACE DESIGN SHOW 2025 - LONDON
100% HOTEL SHOW - CLUB VACAY
The Surface Design Show 2025 is the UK’s leading event for surface materials, bringing together architects, designers, and industry professionals to explore the latest innovations in surface design. Held at the Business Design Centre in London, this year’s show featured cutting-edge materials, sustainable solutions, and forward-thinking design concepts from top brands and emerging creators.
Koukos de Lab was honored to participate in the prestigious Innovation Gallery, a dedicated space highlighting groundbreaking materials and technologies. Showcasing our signature eco-friendly material, Koukoutsi, made from repurposed olive pits, we demonstrated how sustainability and aesthetics can go hand in hand. Visitors had the opportunity to experience our unique textures, learn about our environmentally conscious processes, and explore potential applications for interior design, architecture, and product development.
Our presence at the Spotlight Table further emphasized our commitment to pioneering sustainable materials, engaging industry leaders in discussions about the future of design and responsible material sourcing.
Participating in Surface Design Show 2025 was an inspiring journey, and we are grateful for the connections made and the exciting opportunities ahead.
Club Vacay is an imaginary holiday condition where design meets the applied arts and interacts with the guests within the aesthetic environment of a hotel. This group of unexpected objects has been selected based on their ability to stand out from the space's border decoration while catering to a hotel's needs by enhancing experiences and building memories.
#ClubVacay was back 19-20/11/23 at MEC Athens during the @hotelshowgr! Once again Greece is for Lovers has curated a collection of design objects showcasing fresh and more established talent:

DUBAI DESIGN WEEK 2023

A fully modular, zero-waste, plug-and-play concept came to Dubai Design Week (DXBDW) 2023, and it was promised to change the way we think about sustainability. Colab, the first purpose-built material library in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), showcased its RETHINK pop-up at the region’s most anticipated design festival from 7th to 12th November 2023.
A pocket-sized edition made its European debut at the London Design Festival, and by the time Dubai Design Week comes around, it would have appeared at Dutch Design Week as well. Each iteration offers a slightly different experience, but the purpose is always to educate people on the creative potential sustainable materials have to offer. It also helps give local, regional and international material innovators access to a wider platform that they might not have access to otherwise.

LONDON DESIGN BIENNALE 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that design will have a major role to play in shaping our future. It has demonstrated the urgent need for us to radically rethink environments to be sustainable, just, and resilient in the face of the diverse and bigger shocks to come from the climate and biodiversity crises.
What are the radical changes that we could design to benefit the environment, and how can we reach them? Radical design thinking could focus on whole systems, landscapes, localities, and cities design, to addressing food poverty, malnutrition and food production methods, waste systems, materials, transport means and systems, biodiversity, and connecting with different species.
