Commercial Interiors Supplier Finder Show Dublin 2026 took place at The Alex Hotel on Wednesday 4 November, bringing together suppliers with designers, architects, specifiers, operators, buyers, owners and developers from across Ireland’s commercial interiors sector.
The one-day event was created to give visitors direct access to a broad range of suppliers in a manageable setting, with time to explore products, ask questions and discuss current and future project requirements.
A broad exhibitor mix
The 2026 line-up featured 25 exhibitors:
Abbey Glass, Akante, Altro, Amtico Flooring, Astro Lighting, Barons Furniture, Burgess Furniture, BLOQ, Crofts & Assinder, EGGER, Finsa, Franklite, Furnishing Distributors, GROHE, Specification Studio, Interior Elements, Marcon Fit-Out, Newmor, Panaz, Scatter Box, Sealy, Studio 1718, Sunbury Design, Talbot and Ulster Carpets.
Together, they represented product areas including flooring, lighting, furniture, fabrics, wallcoverings, surfaces, bathrooms, finishes, fit-out and other commercial interior solutions.
This gave visitors the opportunity to explore a wide range of products under one roof and speak directly with suppliers about the practical requirements of their projects.
Supporting the next generation
The day opened with a dedicated hour welcoming design students into the show.
As a trade association, Commercial Interiors UK is committed to supporting and encouraging the next generation of designers entering the industry, and Supplier Finder Show Dublin provided a valuable opportunity to connect education with the commercial interiors sector in Ireland.
Students were able to meet suppliers, see products first-hand and gain a better understanding of the materials, manufacturers and specification conversations that form part of professional practice.
A steady day of conversations
The event saw a steady flow of visitors throughout the day, creating a relaxed atmosphere where exhibitors and attendees had time to talk in more depth.
Rather than being rushed from one stand to another, visitors were able to spend time discussing specification, suitability, performance, lead times and project support, while exhibitors could better understand the briefs and opportunities being brought to them.
Visitors represented a broad range of commercial interiors sectors, such as hospitality and care.
Time to connect beyond the stands
Hospitality throughout the day also helped create opportunities for informal networking.
Visitors and exhibitors joined us for lunch and afternoon tea, before the event moved into an evening drinks reception with canapés from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
The evening session was particularly useful for those unable to attend earlier in the day, giving them a chance to drop in after work, meet exhibitors and reconnect with industry contacts.
Looking ahead
Commercial Interiors UK would like to thank all of the exhibitors, visitors and supporters who took part in this year’s event.
Feedback gathered from exhibitors and attendees will now be reviewed to help shape future editions and identify where the format can be developed further.
The 2026 show demonstrated the value of creating a dedicated meeting point for the commercial interiors community in Dublin, and we look forward to building on that in the future.
