"We are now on sale and display in Le Bon Marche in Paris, completely due to the buyer visiting Tent and seeing us there over the last two years."
Edward Tadros, Ercol |

"I have found Tent to be vital in my development as a designer and as a young person in business. The mix of exhibitors is fantastic with most designers personally showing their work on the stands. It gives me a chance as a creative to rub shoulders with similar people, in a show that has become a real hub of activity during design week. I’ve been able to benefit from its strong links with press and industry and feel privileged to be involved with what is now well respected and perceived as one of the first places to go to spot emerging ideas and talent. It is in the coolest part of London, on the most important week of the year, with the freshest people."

‘Tent is a must for anyone with any interest in contemporary design. The cross section of visitors from specifiers, retailers and press is amazing. The exhibitors this year were really inspiring, and the atmosphere of this show makes it enjoyable for everyone. It is well organised and as first time exhibitors we really felt like we were well looked after. And as well as being great to be part of - it was also very profitable for us too’.

| DETNK.TV STUDIO |
| |
"DeTnk.TV studio’s second year at Tent was a smashing success! DeTnk maintained the high standard of experimentation and risk-taking set by Tent London with all-new guest interviewers, a state of the art studio, and a star line-up of interviews. Tent London is the perfect home for the studio: it is a veritable revolving door of design talent, both new and established, with an informed and captive audience."
Gillian Russell, DeTnk |
