In a sector where one-off builds and single-use materials have long been the norm, a quiet revolution is taking place. Global beauty giant L’Oréal has partnered with T3 Systems to lead a new era of sustainable event and retail activations — proving that premium design and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
The partnership began with the introduction of The T3 System — a lightweight, modular framework that enables brands to achieve bespoke, premium finishes without waste. Every structure can be reconfigured, reused, and refreshed for future activations, eliminating the need for one-time-use builds while maintaining exceptional aesthetic quality.
Following early success, the collaboration has expanded to include two major UK events, each executed using the same T3 kit — reconfigured to create entirely new, visually striking experiences. This circular design approach allows L’Oréal to maintain design excellence while dramatically reducing carbon footprint, materials use, and build time.
“The beauty industry has always valued creativity and finish. What’s exciting now is proving that sustainability can enhance rather than limit that,” says Philippe van Ameyde, Managing Director at T3 Systems. “L’Oréal’s activations demonstrate that circular design and brand experience can coexist beautifully.”
The same T3 system has also been used by Coty Inc., home to brands including Rimmel, Hugo Boss, and Gucci Beauty. Across both L’Oréal and Coty activations, the kit has now been reused at seven different events, configured in unique ways to deliver fresh, high-impact results each time.
Each display system is built around T3’s modular aluminium framework, engineered for rapid, tool-free assembly and disassembly. The result is a solution that embodies circular design principles, providing brands with flexibility, sustainability, and stunning visual outcomes in equal measure.
With its global availability, T3 Systems supports clients worldwide through a central design and sales team in London, and production facilities in Essex and West Paris. This international network ensures seamless delivery and consistent quality — wherever clients choose to activate.
T3 Systems now works with an impressive portfolio of leading luxury and beauty brands including L’Oréal, Armani, Valentino, Prada, Rimmel, Hugo Boss, and Coty Inc. Together, they’re helping to shape a more responsible future for live and retail environments — one modular structure at a time. 🎥 Watch the full video case study here:
New European Headquarters
As part of its ongoing European expansion, T3 Systems has established a dedicated headquarters and production hub in Élancourt, West Paris. Operating under t3displaysystems.fr, the French team serves clients across mainland Europe with local design, stock, and project support — ensuring faster turnaround times and a lower carbon footprint for European activations.

Global Experience Specialists (GES) has launched Show Ready – The Edit, a new premium chapter in its award-winning Show Ready collection. Created for exhibitors who want to combine larger, more expressive design with smarter sustainability, The Edit redefines what modular exhibiting can be, beautifully crafted, endlessly adaptable, and circular by design.
Building on the success of the original Show Ready range, which gave brands an accessible, design-led route to market, The Edit introduces a more sophisticated aesthetic, a refined materials story, and greater creative flexibility. It allows exhibitors to achieve bespoke-level impact, without the complexity, cost, or waste of a custom build.
Continuing GES’s ethos of growing together, The Edit helps brands tell their stories through stands designed for re-use, re-imagining, and responsible material choices. Every detail has been considered to balance creativity with conscience.
GES Creative Director Penny Banks commented, “The Edit gives exhibitors a canvas where creativity, functionality and responsibility meet. Each material has been carefully selected for its story, bio-based, recycled or repurposed, creating a circular palette that celebrates ethical, expressive design.”
Each stand within The Edit is built around four distinctive design concepts: flexible foundations that can scale, style and adapt through curated materials and colour guides. Exhibitors can make each space uniquely their own while benefiting from the speed, simplicity and efficiency of a modular approach.
“Exhibitors are under pressure to deliver spaces that are experiential, sustainable and memorable,” Banks added. “With The Edit, we’ve done the thinking upfront, so our clients can focus on what matters most — their brand and their audience.”
Key benefits of Show Ready – The Edit:
· Scalable creativity: Four adaptable stand designs that flex to different sizes and layouts
· Sustainability built in: Modular, reusable structures crafted from responsibly sourced and recycled materials
· Creative freedom: Curated design and materials guides to express each brand’s personality
· Premium experience, simplified: Elevated design without the cost or complexity of a bespoke build
Like its predecessor, The Edit prioritises re-use, but now goes further, embedding recycled and repurposed materials into every build and encouraging continuous reinvention rather than waste.
The Edit embodies GES’s commitment to creative innovation that respects both people and planet.
Fashion and interior design have always been closely connected—both serve as expressions of personal style, culture, and mood. Yet when new runway collections debut, our first instinct is to think about how they’ll influence our wardrobes rather than our living spaces.
With that in mind, I decided to look at the spring 2026 runway collections from a different angle this time—spotting those that are not only poised to dominate the season but also translate beautifully into interior design. Spring, after all, is a time of renewal—the perfect moment to rethink our surroundings, declutter our homes, invest in new meaningful pieces, or spring-clean, as some like to call it.
That spirit of fresh starts carried on the runways with a wave of newly appointed creative directors unveiling their debut collections at legendary fashion houses. Each brought a fresh perspective—honoring brand heritage while reimagining it for today’s world. For example, Louise Trotter presented a mix of bold, playful ensembles and classic, sophisticated ones at Bottega Veneta, Matthieu Blazy redefined the classics at Chanel, and Jonathan Anderson showcased a wildly imaginative and fantasy-like line at Dior. These creative shifts signaled a broader reset—not just for the brands themselves, but for the direction of fashion as a whole.
When it comes to the overarching trends, designers demonstrated that they are helping guide us into a new era of personal style and craftsmanship. Instead of embracing “quiet luxury” or cookie-cutter trends that seem tailored for the algorithm, they are encouraging a return to personality, playfulness, and self-expression. The runways increasingly showed this through color, texture, and pattern. For a closer look at the top spring 2026 runway trends that will shape the future of interior design, continue scrolling. Additionally, Brittny Button, interior designer and founder of Button Atelier, shares her expert perspective on how these aesthetics can be adopted at home.
As mentioned, designers this season challenged what is considered cool or trendy, pushing quiet luxury aside and embracing loud luxury and maximalism instead. This was evident in ’80s-inspired styling seen in collections from Elie Saab, Stella McCartney, and Valentino. Think sculpted shoulders, nipped-in waists, and precise tailoring. Dramatic bows, silk blouses, and leather pencil skirts were key pieces, along with luxe metallics, jewel tones, and patterns like pretty polka dots, moody florals, and sophisticated snakeskin. Burton notes that this concept “translates into interior design through strong angled furniture, circular shapes, and fabrics with bold patterns.” It can also be simpler, using gold and amethyst purple touches, as well as quilted leather furniture or stainless steel décor.

A key theme on the runways this season was color, specifically the bold clashes of contrasting hues. These are shade pairings you might not initially think work, but they surprisingly do. Collections from brands like Balenciaga, Prada, and Versace featured unexpected color combinations such as red, blue, and purple or yellow, pastel green, and orange. They showed us that you can wear color and still look refined by sticking to classic, minimal silhouettes and relying on colors to elevate the look. Whether painting each wall a different hue or adding a colorful book to your coffee table, there are many creative ways to incorporate color into the home while making it feel like you.

If your goal is to create a home that feels warm, layered, and visually compelling, incorporating textural elements is essential. Take cues from the spring 2026 runways, where designers like Altuzarra, Brandon Maxwell, Chanel, and Bottega Veneta, among many others, embraced tactile richness through materials such as fur (yes, even for spring), leather, and, notably, fringe. These textures add dimension and depth but also a sense of comfort and refinement. In the home, they translate beautifully through upholstery, soft furnishings, and curated accents. “Heavy fringe borders are already everywhere,” shares Button. “It gives incredible visual movement and drama.” Beyond fringe, Button notes that mohair, bouclé, performance velvet, and vintage distressed finishes are fantastic juxtapositions, especially if used in the same space.

A common theme across the fall/winter 2025 and spring/summer 2026 collections was a sense of softness, ethereality, and overall joyfulness, expressed through billowy, lightweight fabrics and soothing, airy colors. At Chloé, this was reflected in lace trims, ruffled hems, and tiered designs. Zimmermann showcased draped fabrics in bubblegum-pink hues, creating a delicate aesthetic, while Simone Rocha highlighted sheer materials and pearls. Dior’s designs combined empowerment and glamour with cinch-waist pencil skirts, flowing lace dresses, and floral motifs. Button notes that this trend can extend to home décor through “crescent-shaped sofas and round mirrors that mimic the female form. It’s these organic shapes and undulating lines of soft S curves that feel soft and overwhelmingly female.” Even incorporating floral-patterned pillows, flower-shaped dishware, or lace-like wallpaper can help one achieve the aesthetic at home.

From Tory Burch to Versace, Prada to Toga, preppy style made a confident return to the runways, but this time with a bourgeoisie twist. It wasn’t about 2000s-inspired schoolgirl nostalgia. Instead, it felt elevated and mature, similar to what sophisticated dressers might wear at a country club. Think double-breasted navy blazers adorned with distinctive buttons, slim pencil skirts with skinny belts, layered button-up shirts styled with ease and elegance, and stripe sweater-vests paired with trousers. New England–inspired elements also made a striking appearance, most notably at Celine, where models carried horseback-riding helmets embossed with the Celine logo. Just like in fashion, taking this aesthetic into the home involves crispness and structure. “The preppy-nouveau trend can be seen in interiors when there’s an infusion of crispness,” Button shares. Picture interiors with tailored lines; navy, cream, green, and brown color palettes; and accents of leather and wood. It can also be seen through equestrian artwork, plaid rugs, and leather sofas. “Buttons offer a tailored approach for sofa upholstery which feels art nouveau inspired,” Button adds.

The Barbican welcomes more than 1,000 delegates for the World Design Congress 2025 today.
World Design Congress 2025 will explore how design can accelerate action on the climate and nature crisis. Hosted by the UK’s Design Council on behalf of the World Design Organization, the Congress returns to London for the first time in over 50 years and brings 1,000 members of the international design community together at the Barbican Centre, with both in-person and online participation.
Across keynotes, conversations and hands-on “hive” workshops, the programme examines the Design Council’s Design for Planet mission, spanning circularity, net zero and the regeneration of places, while fostering collaboration between designers, business leaders, policymakers, researchers and educators.
Highlights include headline speakers such as Lord Norman Foster, alongside contributors including Thomas Heatherwick, Mariana Mazzucato, Charlot Magayi and Bas van Abel; the Congress will also feature a special presentation of the WDO World Design Medal 2025 honouring Dieter Rams.
“Welcoming the World Design Congress to the Barbican is a proud moment for our team and for London,” said Charlie Smith, Deputy Head of Sales at the Barbican. “Our incredible architecture, world-class spaces and commitment to sustainable events make this the ideal home for a Congress dedicated to ‘Design for Planet’. Together with the Design Council, we’re set to host two days that spark action as well as inspiration.”
Matthew Burgess, Senior Events Manager at the Design Council added: “We’ve designed this Congress to be a catalyst – bringing designers, business, policymakers and communities together to accelerate climate action. From headline keynotes to hands-on hive sessions, the programme is built to share practical tools, foster collaboration and leave a measurable legacy. We’ve applied our Design Value Framework to track the impact of our decisions across the two days, and working with the Barbican we’re modelling the future we’re advocating.”
Over the next two days the Barbican will feature inspirational keynotes, provocative discussions, intimate conversations, unconferences, book launches and activations, onsite and online, underscoring the venue and the City’s role as a global hub for world-leading design and events.
