Barbican Christmas Shop

We are delighted to have some of our designs selected to go in The Barbican pop up Christmas design shop - including the London Landmark Bookends and the Pigeon Clocks. The space looked really great - do pop along if you can.

Pop Up Shop

Ten talented designers decided to get together and create a Pop Up Shop at Craft Central EC1 - perfect for Christmas gift shopping. It was part of the larger Made In Clerkenwell event, and was a great success. We also created a window display based on the idea of an advent calender - with the very talented Ester Coombs working her doodling magic on the window.

The designers who took part ranged through interior products and accessories, lighting, jewellery, knitwear and ceramics - Catherine Hammerton, Selina Rose, Keep & Share, Product Of Your Environment, Ester Coombs, Francisca Prieto, The Automatic Crystal, Lua Lua, Christine Kaltoff and me!

Outdoor designs in Living etc

We have been featured twice in Livingetc this month, in their lovely 'Outdoor Rooms' feature. Both our Botanica Agapanthus and Oscar outdoor rugs got called up for the inspiring garden photoshoot as illustrated above - the magazine's out now.

Open studio and garden

We have just finished a 9 day (phew!) open studio and garden event. I showcased some new designs, which were really well received and will be fully launched later in the year. The layered sculptural screen above was a particular hit, a bit of an oriental feel with a dragonfly on one side and bamboo on the other. A perfect commission piece with other flora and fauna chosen by the client. Do contact me if you want any more info.

An obsession with boxes...

Talented designer Olivier Droillard of Olivier&Co has his first solo exhibition at Craft Central in Clerkenwell, London until 30th May. After being selected for an Arts Council funded 'Reflect Forward' award Olivier has developed his creative outlook on boxes by collaborating with a number of other designers. I was delighted to be one of them. See this stunning new series of limited edition functional artworks at the Craft Central gallery space, EC1 - more details at www.craftcentral.org.uk
