COLLECTORS and design enthusiasts will have two days to explore hidden gems when The Spotlight Market returns to East London on 27-28 February 2026 at MKII in Clapton. The fair brings together established and emerging archival curators, offering a carefully selected collection of furniture, art, sculpture and objects across eras and styles.
The market showcases a roster of traders presenting one-of-a-kind pieces, each chosen for craftsmanship, character and timeless appeal. Highlights include Old Old Woods, an East London-based mid-century furniture curator and restorer whose edited collection ranges from classic chairs and tables to unique, one-off finds.
The Spotlight Market
Vantage Living, founded by Katie Ridges, presents hand-sourced homeware, lighting and furniture, collected from across Belgium, France and the UK. Decorative antiques and fine art from Scout, the husband-and-wife team Mark Baverstock and GLASS‘ Fashion Director Katie Felstead, offer pared-back pieces imbued with integrity and history.
Stowaway London curates design objects and furniture with a unified approach to style, form and authenticity, while Scene by Chloe brings vibrant colour and character to her European-sourced collection.
Additional exhibitors include Ancien et Jolie, Modern Room, Myakin, Push//Pull and L’Prentice, each presenting thoughtfully considered pieces that reward exploration.

The Spotlight Market
Co-founded by siblings Katie and Sam Ridges, The Spotlight Market provides a physical platform for digital-era curators and dealers to showcase their collections. The siblings say they “want visitors to feel inspired, to connect with our dealers’ aesthetic, and to discover objects of beauty, integrity and craftsmanship”.
The market offers Friday evening bites from British Roux Scholarship finalist Lewis Linley, alongside beverages from Milk and Side Hustle Coffee.
