Lee Broom‘s Public House was one of my favourite parts of Milan Design Week. The exhibition was his first solo show, and marked the brand’s fifth anniversary. Fittingly for such an unashamedly British brand, it was kitted out to resemble a pub, with genuine reclaimed fittings and fixtures – right down to the bar itself,...
One of the key design districts for Milan Design Week is Lambrate, so that was the second stop on our trip. Luckily for someone with no sense of direction like me, Dezeen had produced this handy guide, which was available to download from the Ventura Projects website and pick up around the district. It’s quite...
No sooner had I finished writing up all my BlogTourNYC posts, than I was off to Milan for design week (it’s been a crazy few months!), so more out and about posts I’m afraid! I promise to resume a normal service once these are done! Salone Internazionale del Mobile is the main trade show – a...
I’ve told you all about our amazing day at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, but there’s more! After a spot of R&R back at the hotel, we were back at Pier 94 for second helpings. (Thank you so much to Cecy Brooks for this gorgeous photo of the lovely Pippa Jameson.) Cocktails By Design was the first...
Another Blog Tour NYC post… I promise, I’m almost done! This one covers a day of exploring, mostly the Decoration and Design Buildling, otherwise known as DDB, but with a few other treats thrown in too. First up was brunch at the Poggenpohl and Blanco showroom. The lovely Christy Emens (top right) talked us through...
I was delighted to discover that Pick Me Up London was on for longer than I had thought, which meant that I could squeeze in a quick visit. “Design Geekery; Pick Me Up After a crazy day running around London on Thursday, I finally managed to get to Pick Me Up at Somerset House. Now...
This week’s Heart Home Magazine interview was with some of my fellow mydeco Design Democracy Award winners, who I haven’t caught up with in far too long. I did however see their fabulous Sofa So Good at Maison et Objet in Paris, which reminded me to get back in touch. “Interview with textile design collective...
Another post from BlogTourNYC… this time my best bits from the Architectural Digest Home Design Show. It was a fabulous opportunity to see lots of (mostly) American design all in one place, and to meet some of the lovely sponsors who made our trip possible. First up, of course, is the Modenus stand, featuring wallunica...
I recently had the honour of spending an hour in the inspiring company of Mr Andrea Morgante. I arrived feeling tired and run down, and left absolutely bouncing with creative energy – I only hope this post does our conversation justice… Tell me a bit about your work for Alessi. It’s about taking as...
One of the real highlights of Blog Tour was Amy Beth Cupp Dragoo (otherwise known as ABCDDesign)’s curated design walk around SoHo. With the motto “life is short – eat off the good china,” Amy is a New York based artist, designer and stylist who I was lucky enough to meet during Blog Tour 2011,...
Jonathan told us that people often think his products “just are” – they don’t imagine that they are all hand thrown and all start from this building. Even though I have studied pottery, I must confess, I have never really thought about it either, but it was fantastic to discover that such a successful...
On Wednesday’s evening, we were treated to a four course meal cooked for us by rising New York star Adam Schop, whose restaurant Nuela specialises in food from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The meal was hosted by Miele and the idea was that Adam would demonstrate different Miele appliances as he went. Our...
