We are pleased to announce that we have been aproached by Shoreditch based design studio Scene to be part of Scene+,  the group show that they are curating  for Clerkenwell Design Week 2010.  Scene+ is a collaborative show celebrating the latest creative talent of emerging British designers. The exhibition will be held at the Farmiloe building where Scene+ will be one of a number of events taking place in the building. You can find the Farmiloe building on St John Street, just next to St Johns the bar/restaurant . Handy for a quick pint…

Some pictures from a great week with the guys from Designersblock. Not even a volcano can stop these guys!

A preferred mode of transport for the show

We’re looking forward to next year’s Milan furniture fair already.

All safely packed and currently in transit, our 6 new stacking chairs are on their way to Milan for next week’s show; the AR004 makes it debute at this year’s Designersblock show in Zona Isola. We’ll also be showing the AR001 and AR002 in new fabrics… so if you’re at the show this year please pop by and say hello.

Last Sunday I was lucky enough to be briefly shown round the Van Doesburg exhibition at the Tate just before they closed the doors.  What a great exhibition of a very prolific writer, artist, designer and editor. I was amazed at the body of work that he’d been involved in, from founder and chief spokesman of the De Stijl group to his  collaborations with artist and architects such as Piet Mondrian and Gerrit Rietveld to name but a few.  Well worth a visit and I might even pop back myself…

We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be showing the AR001, AR002 & AR003 at this year’s Mid Century Modern at  Dulwich College, London.

Following the positive response to the AR001 & AR002 at Interiors Birmingham 2010, we will be showing them here in London upholstered in the eco conscious ‘Second Nature’ range of fabrics from Camira; fabrics that are both renewable and compostable.

Mid Century Modern will also see us launching the AR003 stacking chair. This is a minimal lightweight dining chair  which will be available  in a range of finishes, with an upholstered seat pad.

Having been many times to Mid Century Modern as a visitor, we’re really looking forward to taking part this year - so if you’re in the area on March 21st, please pop by and say hi - it’s always a good show.

Here are some of the photos from our recent show at Interiors Birmingham 2010. Thanks to everybody who came to see us and for all your positive response. This was a good preview show for us, prior to our trip to Milan in April.

A  copy of this months IDFX has just landed on my desk…

After a few last minute tweaks we are finally ready to deliver the AR001 & AR002 to Designers Block ready for the 2010 Birmingham Interiors Show at the NEC 24th - 27th of January.

What a great start to 2010… We managed to trudge through the snow to the Design Museum to see a very inspiring exhibition by David Chipperfield; the master of beautiful understated intelligent architecture. With plenty of projects (realised and conceptual), models and drawings on display this really is a show worth visiting.
