We’ve just wrapped up a brilliant week at ISE 2026 in Barcelona 🇪🇸

ISE is Europe’s leading show for Custom Install, AV and smart home technology, and it’s a firm fixture in our calendar every year. It’s where the industry comes together to share ideas, raise standards and get a first look at what’s next for high-performance homes.

So why do we go?
To stay ahead of the curve. ISE keeps us inspired, informed and sharp—helping us continue to design and deliver future-ready cinema rooms and smart home solutions for our clients. It’s also a rare chance to spend proper face-to-face time with manufacturers and distributors before we’re back in the UK, fully buried in projects.

We also did a bit of filming with and filmed a host of great manufacturers. Plenty of great ideas coming back with us

Darren's unique background, blending top-tier interior design with professional music touring, forms the ideal foundation for meeting the aesthetic and acoustic demands of premium cinema environments.
