Quiet Volumes brings together new furniture & lighting design that celebrates raw materiality and rigorous sculptural form. Set within a monastic, pared-back environment, the exhibition invites visitors to slow down and re-engage with the physical world, functioning simultaneously as an exhibition space and a contemplative reading room.

As 3 Days of Design continues its upward ascent as the international design destination - Relay will be on the ground supporting +Halle, Baux, Hem, Massproductions and Zeitraum as they launch major new products and innovations for their collections.

During this year's Clerkenwell Design Week, Baux will showcase their new acoustic collection X-FELT Floating.

Designed by Form Us With Love, the new collection is crafted from GRS-certified PET and engineered to be fire-retardant without chemicals or minerals. This unique process makes X-Felt a truly circular material.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to look back at a year defined by bold ideas, smarter systems, and meaningful progress. At Relay, innovation and sustainability have always been intertwined—and this year was no exception.

From breakthrough design solutions to new steps forward in responsible production, 2025 pushed us to reimagine what’s possible. In this annual review, we’re sharing the developments that shaped our work, the milestones reached, and a glimpse of what’s ahead.

Let’s take a look at the ideas that moved us forward.

We are excited to announce that Ghost Series by Haha Studio commissioned by Relay Design Projects, has been shortlisted for the Dezeen Awards 2025. ⁠

Haha Studio has designed Ghost Series, a limited edition collection in response to Relay's invitation to produce a work experimenting with a new material, process or format.⁠ ⁠

Future Focus brings together visionary designers and innovators to showcase this year's most exciting new product design.

This dynamic group exhibition explores how creativity and technology are shaping the objects of tomorrow - combining new materials with traditional craft to map out the leading edge of today’s sustainable design practice.

How might designers use playfulness and colour not just as visual elements, but as tools to enhance engagement, interaction, and wellbeing in product design?

Join us for a lunchtime discussion chaired by design journalist Ali Morris (Dezeen, Wallpaper and Kinfolk) with Emma Bestley (Co-founder of YesColours) and Richard Healy (Creative Director at Relay Design Agents).

Relay returns to Shoreditch Design Triangle 13-21 September (part of London Design Festival 2025) with an exhibition bringing together visionary designers & innovators to showcase this year's most exciting new product design.

New designs for Pelle Cord and Sit Webbing reflected an ongoing evolution that seeks to utilise weaving and webbing to create foam-free upholstery options. A craft solution to a contemporary problem. Alongside these new chairs, the new Turntable High carries forward the essence of the original – archaic in form the new high version is about balance, craftsmanship and the beauty of simplicity.

Inspired by the elegance of planetary orbits, the Astro collection features a distinctive design defined by its steel tube rings. These sculptural forms create an external frame that supports a fully webbed seat & back, minimising foam use while maximising comfort. The result is a refined balance of sustainability, durability, and visual lightness.

Swedish design brand Hem returned to Copenhagen for their third exhibition during 3 Days of Design. Following a wave of amazing press coverage Hem launches their brand-new Palma Poufs by British-born Ghanaian designer Kusheda Mensah - a graphic, arresting, refreshingly carefree family of elegant upholstered seats.
