Gallery Direct

Gallery Direct returns to INDX with the official debut of its made-to-order upholstery range, featuring 17 new families — each with at least one stocked model for fast fulfilment — and 32 fabric options in total. Designed for style, comfort and price, it represents the pinnacle of modern upholstery. Gallery will also unveil 500+ new items across all categories — a launch that truly sets the tone for SS26.

For Cófra, this year’s headline debut at INDX is The Cloud, a round extender table that showcases the next evolution of its craftsmanship. Featuring a beautifully composed quarter-matched veneer top, The Cloud offers a sophisticated visual structure, with four perfectly aligned segments that draw the eye naturally to the centre. Below, its sculptural clover-leaf base introduces a softer, organic element—echoing current design trends and giving retailers a standout piece with strong aesthetic appeal.

Image will be exhibiting at the INDX Furniture Show for the first time, marking a strategic step in its partnership with AIS. AIS members will gain direct access to fast-delivery, stock-supported sofa ranges, refined contemporary collections and flexible supply options, reinforcing Image’s commitment to reliable quality, commercial performance and retailer success.

Abode introduces Lille, a bedroom collection completed in oak and oak veneer, refined with brass accents and reeded detail, subtly reminiscent of Art Deco. Alongside the Arlo sofa range, where soft, comforting curves create serene luxury. Both edits reflect Abode’s design-led ethos: comfort leads, materials celebrated, simplicity elevated.

4 Seasons Outdoor

Kuka Home – one of the top five manufacturers in the far east, will be showcasing their collection of cool designs, while Zoy Furniture will make its exhibiting debut in the UK and 4 Seasons Outdoor – makers of garden furniture that stand out for their extraordinary design, high quality and great seating comfort, will also be on display.

You’re Furnished will be also joining the line-up. As specialists in furniture with a reclaimed edge, You’re Furnished continues to generate excitement with its extensive collection of beautifully crafted, eclectic furniture made from distinctive and unique materials. Each collection is carefully sourced from around the world, resulting in a highly individual style that continues to grow in desirability. With on-trend materials like recycled teak, elm, oak and zinc, the collections are designed to capture attention and spark inspiration.

Visitors to the Hestia stand will see its latest UK and Europe-built bedframes and sofa-beds, including the Tia sofa bed. The brand will showcase upgraded materials, improved construction quality, new fabric options, and commercially viable stock-based programs with strong lead times for the 2026 trading cycle.

Abode

The event venue and home of INDX Shows, Cranmore Park is centrally located in the heart of the UK, just on the edge of Birmingham. Easy to get to, with all major air, road, and rail links close by, and designed specifically to encourage a professional, informal, and friendly trade show exhibition environment. Visitors benefit from plenty of free onsite parking, complimentary refreshments, and unmatched hospitality that ensures the show is a stress-free experience, and as productive as it is enjoyable.

Emma Rackley, Director of Furniture and Home, AIS, said: “We’ve been running furniture trade shows and events at AIS/Cranmore Park for over 20 years and during that time we’ve seen a lot of change, and faced a complex array of challenges – and none more so than today’s shifting landscape.

“In such a demanding environment, with consumer price sensitivity, increased operating costs, and supply chain disruptions, the true craftspeople of retail will emerge. They are the ones who don’t see challenge as a barrier but an opportunity for reinvention. They will not just survive the storm, but will redesign the ship, optimising the supply chain for value, elevating the digital experience for connection, and building lasting relationships through quality and purpose.

“And we remain focused on helping them succeed. By bringing together insight and expertise to create authentic, trend and market-driven shows, that connect our AIS Members and community of retailers with the most forward-thinking suppliers in the business.”

Rachel Cooper, Category Selector, AIS, added:“Tough times call for smarter choices, and our role at AIS/INDX Shows is simple: to provide the most efficient and effective meeting point for innovation and commercial business.

“Our AIS Members and visiting retailers need better products and stronger margins, and our suppliers need a clear path to market. We look forward to bringing everyone together again in January and seeing the industry’s unstoppable innovation and energy back on our show floor.”
