The 2026 Directory is out now
The SDEA Design & Display Directory 2026 is published today: every SDEA member company, nine of the year’s standout stores and every winner of the Creative Retail Awards 2026, free to read online.
The Directory is the buyers’ guide to retail design and display. The 2026 edition lists every member of the Shop & Display Equipment Association, from shopfitters and lighting specialists to mannequin makers, installers and designers, with guides to find them by product, by retail trade, by trade name or by region.
It opens with the Creative Retail Awards 2026. More than 500 entries from five continents were judged in one room in a single day, and the winners were announced at The Clapham Grand on 15 October. Every winner is in the Directory, from Fortnum & Mason’s three awards to B_RD, Design Agency of the Year, with photos from the night.
The store reviews begin with the Store Design of the Year: Dr. Martens’ first beacon store, on Brewer Street in Soho, which brings making, mending, music and a café under one roof. Alongside it are the stores that ran it closest: Nespresso’s boutique in a former Covent Garden bank, Holland & Barrett’s wellness store in Cardiff, Neal’s Yard Remedies’ reimagined flagship and Portugal Jewels, in a 200-year-old engraver’s shop in Lisbon. Four of the season’s most talked-about openings complete the tour: SKIMS, Ernest Jones, Gerard Darel and Kiehl’s.
Seven companies appear in the Directory for the first time: Brownings, Candee Bio, Fagerhult, Genesis Mannequins, Imageco, TegometallUK and Thisisnathanward.
“If you can’t find what you need, call us. One call does it all.”
Antony Behiels, Director, Shop & Display Equipment Association
