Minoli At Focus/25 – Highlights From The Event

This week we’re enjoying showcasing the Minoli collections of porcelain tiles and extra-large format slabs at Focus/25 at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour. There’s a real buzz around the venue and district as interior designers, architects and property developers take time to visit and view all the participating exhibitors and stores.

One of the reasons the event has become so well established in the interior design calendar is the wealth of different specialists that are on show together, meaning that all the required components of a design scheme can be explored in one place. Whether a project requires fabrics, furniture, lighting, hardware or indeed tiles, for a bathroom, kitchen, living space or multi-room renovations, Focus/25 provides a one-stop destination for inspiration.

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome the Founding Directors of Hill House Interiors, Jenny Weiss and Helen Bygraves, to our stand to take part in an exclusive discussion, as part of the ‘Access All Areas’ programme. In a session led by Jonathon and Lucy Minoli, we enjoyed an entertaining and informative conversation about how trusted supplier relationships streamline decision-making and empower designers to create with confidence, as well as hearing about some of their inspiring projects. Our thanks to Jenny and Helen for taking the time to join us at the event and for sharing their insights.

Focus/25 is open throughout this week until Friday at 17:30, and with extended viewing until Thursday 16^th October, we’d love to welcome you to our stand and show you our latest porcelain tile designs.

At this year’s event, we have some rather special new products on display, including sculptural, 3D blocks from the Terrae Collection – a new handmade ceramic element that tells a story of ceramics, light, and nature, inspired by “moucharabieh”, the traditional perforated screens of Arab architecture.

In six exciting colours, the Lito design transforms walls into a scenographic feature that filters, separates, and at the same time, connects. Its structure interacts with light, creating a play of solids and voids that shifts throughout the day.

Also on show are large format slabs from the Marvel Diva Series, an Iconic range of marble-effects in fine porcelain, including the Galaxy, Sky Stone and Taj Mahal designs. With precisely rectified edges, the intensely defined patterns and veining come to life at grand scale, delivering near-seamless, uninterrupted surfaces.

What’s more, on display at full 120/278 size, are Marvel Calacatta Prestigio Bookmatch Slabs in their coordinating A&B designs. The designers of Calacatta Prestigio studied the delicate pale grey veining and copper-gold pigment of the marble to produce the most precise and accurate replicas in stunning and authentic detail.

Given the increasing appeal of Book Match designs and large-format slabs in high-end interiors, we now hold Marvel Calacatta Prestigio Book Match and Diva Taj Mahal Slabs in UK stock, as well as several other Diva sizes and colourways, ready for prompt delivery to site, normally within 2-5 working days.

So, if you’re planning a visit to Focus/25, why not come and see us on the Minoli stand. Visitors can collect a free tote bag with copies of the Minoli Design Trends Report 2025, as a little interior design inspiration.
