As we near the closing of the competition, we can now reveal we will host an unmissable awards evening and four-day exhibition at the prestigious Material Matters Fair, one of the main events of the London Design Festival.

The final exhibition will run at the dramatic Space Building from September 17-20, with the awards evening at the same venue on the 16th.

Following last year’s spectacular event at the US Embassy in London, this year’s celebration will again bring together award nominees, industry leaders and natural materials producers. It’s your chance to have your entry recognised and celebrated as we showcase emerging talent and emphasise the imperative of using natural fibres as beautiful, versatile and truly sustainable alternatives to synthetic materials.

We will be exhibiting the winning designs in a prime spot for all four days of the exhibition

Through the Only Natural campaign, we’ve united the voices of designers, educators, manufacturers and policymakers, creating a growing movement that puts nature first.

The Material Matters Design Fair is a key part of the wider London Design Festival. Last year it had more than 6,000 attendees including some 300 media representatives. Our partnership with Material Matters puts Only Natural winners directly in front of an audience of architects, designers, and sustainability advocates.

There’s still time to enter the competition and to make it this amazing event. But hurry—entries close on June 30.

Final event: Thursday 16 September

Exhibition: Wednesday 17 – Sunday 20 September 2025

Venue: Space House, 1 Kemble Street, London WC2B 4AN
