tp bennett returns to the London Design Festival’s Material Matters fair with In The Making 2.0. Hosted at the iconic Space House in central London and curated in partnership with Future Works, our Group innovation venture, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the environmental impact of design and the evolving role of materials in shaping a more responsible future. This year, the fair takes place from 17–20 September 2025, occupying an entire floor of Space House.

In The Making 2.0 builds on the success of last year’s edition by addressing the true cost of what we create, from raw material extraction to manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. The exhibition is structured around three elemental zones: Land, Water, and Atmosphere, echoing the original environmentalist framework and offering a thematic lens through which to explore material impact.
Each zone will feature curated contributions from leading suppliers who are committed to safeguarding natural resources and are redefining how materials are sourced, processed, and maintained. This year’s participants include: AkzoNobel, Tarkett, Impact Acoustic, Alusid, Kvadrat, Andreu World, Domus, Arper and Modus.
“By curating this exhibition, we aim to spotlight the suppliers who are leading the way in material innovation and transparency, showing that intelligent design begins with informed choices. This is about shifting the conversation from what looks good to what does good and helping architects and designers make decisions that support a regenerative future.”
