Assemblyroom confirm Mid Century Modern - March 21st

9 March, 2010 (10:17) | Assemblyroom Project, Furniture design | By: Peter

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.

Starting the New Year with David Chipperfield

12 January, 2010 (12:15) | Architecture, Inspiration | By: Peter

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.

Finally, after everyone’s hard work and effort we’ve just collected the AR001 arm chair from the upholsterer and we are delighted with the results. We’re expecting to collect the AR002 in the next couple of weeks;  just in time to get the product shots sorted prior to showing the pieces with Designers Block at the 2010 Birmingham Interiors Show.

Assemblyroom confirmed for Birmingham Interiors 2010

We’re very pleased to announce that we’ll be showing the AR001 arm chair and AR002 sofa with Designer’s Block at the Birmingham Interiors Show : January 24th - 27th 2010 at the NEC. Designer’s Block have just posted a press release detailing all those exhibiting.

For the show we’re proud to say that we’ve teamed up with the Scottish fabric company Bute who will kindly be supplying the upholstery fabrics from their new range ‘Galloway’.

Influenced by a 1950’s aesthetic, the AR001 and AR002 blend utilitarianism with a contemporary style to create a commercial  range which we believe will bridge the gap between the contract and domestic markets.

We had a great week enjoying all that the London Design Festival had to offer; from the larger more mainstream trade shows to the smaller (and often more interesting) side shows…

Here are a few of our best bits:
