This September, Soho Lighting returns to Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour for Focus/26, joining some of the design world’s leading names for a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship and contemporary interiors. 

From exploring the details that give minimalist spaces their character to the art of creating a beautifully layered home, Soho Lighting co-founder Lee Lovett will take part in three inspiring panel discussions. Visitors can also experience the craftsmanship behind our Acanthus Collection with a live ceramic workshop. Here’s where to find us...

BEYOND MINIMALISM: DESIGNING WITH CHARACTER

Creating contemporary interiors with warmth, personality and architectural integrity

Can contemporary interiors be both beautifully restrained and deeply inviting? Lee Lovett joins Brian Woulfe of Designed by Woulfe and Alexander Yardy of Simpsons, chaired by Lucinda Baring of Country & Town House Magazine, to explore how materiality, craftsmanship and thoughtful architectural detail can bring warmth, depth and individuality to modern spaces.

The conversation will also offer an exclusive preview of Soho Lighting’s forthcoming Architectural Collection.
