The Summer Outdoor Living Exhibition is the exclusive event for LOFA (Leisure & Outdoor Furniture Association), the UK’s official trade body for the luxury outdoor living sector, whose mission is to promote luxury brands to quality industry buyers. The SOLEX exhibition highlights all the new designs and developments from LOFA members for both the retail and contract markets. 

 

If you haven't visited SOLEX before it is a great place to do business. This relaxed and friendly industry exhibition is where you can establish new relationships and develop existing ones. 

 

Solex has the outdoor retailer in mind with its nine sectors of outdoor living products:

Take a mini health check with Perennial who will be manning a special LOFA branded booth across the 3 days and visit the Landscape Garden provided by the Landscape Show one of our SOLEX partners.
