The Wood Awards are delighted to announce that the 2026 Wood Awards Exhibition will take place at UNLOCKED Shoreditch from 15–17 September 2026, in partnership with Material Matters.
Bringing together the very best of contemporary architecture and furniture design in wood, the exhibition will showcase this year’s shortlisted projects, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore the innovation, craftsmanship and sustainability that define the UK’s premier competition celebrating excellence in wood.
The exhibition will feature the shortlisted projects through furniture pieces, photography, drawings and project information, giving visitors the opportunity to discover the exceptional quality and diversity of this year’s shortlist before the winners are announced at the Wood Awards Ceremony in November.
The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore the breadth of contemporary wood design in one place, showcasing projects that demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship, innovation and the responsible use of timber. From pioneering architecture to beautifully crafted furniture, the exhibition celebrates the role wood continues to play in creating sustainable, inspiring places and objects.
Hosted within UNLOCKED Shoreditch as part of Material Matters, the exhibition places the Wood Awards alongside one of the UK’s leading celebrations of design, materials and making. The partnership provides an exciting opportunity to connect the awards with a wider audience of architects, designers, manufacturers, specifiers, students and timber enthusiasts during one of the busiest weeks in the design calendar.
Whether you’re interested in sustainable construction, innovative furniture design or the creative possibilities of timber, the exhibition promises an inspiring insight into the projects shaping the future of wood in architecture and design.
