This event was more than just a gathering; it was a celebration of the finest in commercial interiors.
The superb Gibson Hotel in Dublin was transformed into a hub of design inspiration, welcoming designers, buyers and specifiers from across Ireland and the UK.
Over 30 Commercial Interiors UK members displayed their furniture and furnishings designs to an eager audience, who welcomed their annual opportunity to meet up with current and new suppliers.
