We are excited to announce that Solus will be teaming up with award-winning furniture manufacturer Boss Design to celebrate the eagerly anticipated return of Design Festival North.

The popular three-day event will take place in Manchester – crowned the second largest Creative City in Europe prior to the pandemic – from July 13-15.

Showrooms across the city will be welcoming architects, designers, and specifiers during the expo which will also feature an array of topical discussions and ‘spotlight’ presentations.

Claire Elvin, Area Sales Manager for North-West England, will be based at the Boss Design Studio, where she will be showcasing a selection of stunning Solus products and offering expert advice to Manchester’s thriving A&D community.

The dynamic and decorative tiles that compose the newly launched Character range will take centre stage in the exhibition alongside Archway, an artisanal terracotta collection offered in a rainbow of colours.

Complementing these sensational ranges are Terracotta, in both name and nature, the Ceppo di Gré inspired Rockstone products and the opulent marble-effect tiles that compose the Luxurious collection.

In celebration of the festival, we are also offering our guests the chance to scoop a £50 voucher to dine at 20 Stories, a stylish rooftop restaurant, bar and terrace located in the heart of Spinningfields. The glamorous venue features spectacular panoramic views of the cityscape which patrons can enjoy while tasting the delights of its locally sourced menu.

The winner will be chosen at random and, to qualify, architects, interior designers, and specifiers will be required to follow @solusceramics and @wearebossdesign on Instagram. They will then be asked to take a photograph of their favourite mood board from a selection of images that will be displayed at the Solus exhibition stand, before posting their chosen picture on the social media platform, tagging both companies in.

Commenting on the return of the event, Claire said: “There is a thriving creative community in Manchester, and Design Festival North really taps into that vibe, augmenting the city’s reputation as a leading light in the A&D world. I am really excited about once again working with Boss Design during the event and sharing some of the inspirational and unique products that Solus has to offer with architects, interior designers, and specifiers.”
