Over the coming week some of the latest interior design products and trends will be showcased at consumer trade show Grand Designs Live in London which is based on the popular UK TV series of the same name. This year, for the second year in a row, the show will honor the top products on display with a Grand Designs Magazine Loves award. CTIA Wireless, now in its 27th year, spans wireless and converged communications, wireless broadband, mobile web computing and data industries - the theme of this year's show is "All things mobile."

This UK-based home design exhibition combines practical with more cutting-edge design. The products on display here are more applicable to the mass market than the edgy designs at France's Maison & Objet for example. The event is smaller than Ambiente, attracting around 50,000 visitors each year.
