What an incredible two days! The Retail VM & Display Show, London, 14–15 April 2026 was a fantastic experience — and I wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited the ATADesigns stand, stopped for a chat, or simply smiled as they walked past. I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did! 🙏
For those who missed it, here's a little behind-the-scenes look at how the stand came together — from bare walls to finished display!
Three Creative Businesses That Inspired Me
One of the best things about exhibiting at a show like this is the people you meet — and I was lucky enough to be neighbours with three truly brilliant and creative businesses. I filmed short interviews with each of them, and I'd love for you to meet them too!
1. Anam-Atronics — Creative Technology & Interactive Design
First up is the wonderfully talented Anam A. Hasan of Anam-Atronics — a mechatronics engineer and creative technologist based in London. Her stand was amazing — interactive light-up panels, 3D printed mechanisms, and yes, even Godzilla made an appearance! 😄 A brilliant, original mind doing truly exciting work.

2. Cintia Bertaccini — Paper Art, Illustration & Set Design
Next is the incredibly talented Cintia Bertaccini — a paper artist, illustrator and set designer. Her work is worth seeing live to experience the beauty of her paper art — her intricate paper flowers and stop motion pieces are truly something special.

3. Dolly Fixtures — Quirky Furniture, Art Installations & Party Props
And last but absolutely not least — the fabulous Tracey Horan of Dolly Fixtures, creators of quirky furniture, art installations and party props based in East Sussex. Her denim sculptures are truly unforgettable pieces that could work beautifully as art in their own right!
