Tokyo Fabrics returns to the January Furniture Show as a key industry touchpoint, using the platform to connect with manufacturers, retailers and buyers across the furniture supply chain. The event offers an opportunity to present the latest developments within the collection while reinforcing the brand's role as a reliable textile partner for contemporary furniture design.
Jag Sandhu, Managing Director at Tokyo Fabrics, views the show as a vital industry touchpoint. 'The January Furniture Show is a key moment for the industry, bringing together manufacturers, furniture buyers, and the wider supply chain,' he says. 'For us, it's a valuable opportunity to connect with long-standing partners and new audiences alike, while showcasing our collections.' Just as important are the conversations that happen beyond the products. 'The show enables our team to engage in meaningful discussions around emerging trends and evolving industry requirements,' Jag adds.

Showcasing versatility through partnership
Rather than spotlighting a single statement launch, Tokyo Fabrics is using the platform to emphasise the scope of its offer. 'Our primary objective is to showcase the depth and versatility of the Tokyo Fabrics operations,' Jag explains. 'We want to demonstrate how our collections can be applied across a broad range of furniture products.' This adaptability is increasingly valued by manufacturers working across residential, contract and mixed-use sectors.
Strengthening relationships remains central to the brand's strategy. 'We are also focused on building and reinforcing partnerships with manufacturers and retailers,' Jag says. 'Those relationships allow us to support projects more effectively and respond to specific requirements with confidence.' The message is one of trust and long-term collaboration rather than one off transactions.
Texture, tone and thoughtful evolution
Innovation at Tokyo Fabrics is rooted in refinement. 'We'll be introducing several new developments within our collections,' Jag shares. 'These include new colourways and fresh textures that reflect our ongoing commitment to innovation and quality.' The focus is on materials that enhance furniture design without overwhelming it.
Texture plays a leading role this season. 'We're particularly excited to highlight textured fabrics that balance softness with depth, along with linen looks,' Jag notes. Colour stories lean towards enduring appeal. 'Neutrals, earthy shades and rustic tones are key,' he says.
Compliance as a design foundation
Alongside aesthetics, technical performance remains non-negotiable. 'From a technical perspective, we're highlighting the importance of flame-retardant fabrics for the UK industry,' Jag explains. 'Compliance is fundamental, and we want our partners to feel confident in how our supply supports their needs.' This emphasis reinforces Tokyo Fabrics' position as a dependable supplier in an increasingly regulated market.
The stand itself reflects this calm assurance. 'Visitors can expect a calm, cosy space that allows the fabrics to speak for themselves,' Jag says. 'It's designed to encourage touch and exploration, so people can experience the texture, look and quality firsthand.' The team's presence completes the experience. 'We'll be on hand to discuss the collections in detail,' he adds.
Leaving a lasting impression
While there is no single hero collection taking centre stage, the intention is clear. 'We're excited to present our full fabric offering and, above all, to connect with everyone attending,' Jag says. Looking beyond the event, the desired takeaway is rooted in trust. 'We hope visitors leave with a strong sense of our commitment to delivering quality, compliant fabrics,' he concludes, 'and with confidence in how Tokyo Fabrics can support their business going forward.'
