In 2024, we introduced an award at Handmade Chelsea for the first time, in partnership with The Society of Designer Craftsmen.

For 2026 our awards have grown, and there will be no fewer than 5 presented! Two awards, and a selection of commendations, will be given by The Society of Designer Craftsmen, and three awards will be presented by The House Directory.

The Society of Design Craftsmen Awards

• Outstanding Innovation in Craft & Design
• Outstanding Emerging Designer-Maker

These awards will recognise a maker embarking on their first career, and also a maker who has turned to craft later in life, thereby celebrating how craft can be a career for anyone at any stage. In addition, the judges will have the opportunity to present commendations.

The Society of Designer Craftsmen Awards will be presented during the Private View on Wednesday 11th November.

The House Directory Awards

Launched in 2025, The House Directory will give three awards representing three very distinct themes at this year’s show.

The categories will be:

• Modern Heirlooms
• Tradition and Storytelling
• Craft Revival

Open to anyone exhibiting, The House Directory Awards will be presented on the first public day, Thursday 12th November.
