today i'll be reporting on the wonderful time we had at 100% Design London last week. it seems like an age ago that we were working through the night to get things done, but here we are now doing all the follow up work and sending off samples! here's a picture of our stand in 100% Futures.
not too shabby! we feel like 'wish you were here in London' is a theme that all people can enjoy, and so we wanted to create a relaxing yet modern atmosphere in our stand this year.
here's a close up of our table, which was covered by a handmade, bespoke tablecloth made by our wonderful seamstress, Izumi (but more on that later!). you'll recognize some of our products, including the Charity for Japan furoshiki and tote bag, as well as all three of our new products, cushion #9- which you can read more about in our new blog entry here. at the end of the table you will see some of the newest launches at 100% Design- our ceramics collection!
yes, we have been keeping pretty quiet about those since our visit to stoke-on-trent. but here they are, and we really love how they've turned out. the morning set looks especially cute, we think. they will be up on the website very soon.
the 'morning set', with a london design to compliment the theme. buses, horse guards and london bridge- a refreshing look at every day london!
our 'london fog' mug. here is a picture of both sides of the one mug, which have a unique little scenario- a gentleman and a police officer are having a fun, 'sherlock holmes' themed evening in foggy london. we love the streetlights, designed by the wonderful kei.
our 'rain' mug, a little carry on from henry's rain shower. this mug will keep you company on a stormy afternoon, or even a sunny one! we hope you enjoy it.all of the ceramics that were launched at the show will be up on the website as soon as we get them in stock and ready for you to buy. we hope you will look forward to it! as you wait, here's some more photos of our stand.
the ernest race chair that we were loaned so kindly by firefly house. we are so lucky to know people like them who will give our little company such a wonderful project! thank you, firefly house!
a hand cut sign by yukari making sure we kept the chair safe and sound.
our sammy sausage dogs! popular as ever. all three found a new home this year. if you want one of your own, you know where to find them...
and our popular double processed 'gone fishing' lampshade. it made quite a splash this year! (okay, that was bad...i couldn't resist it, sorry!)
finally, here's a few close ups of the lovely tablecloth made by izumi as part of our tableware range, that includes ceramics as well as these hand made creations. it was absolutely lovely to work with izumi, who we know didn't sleep whilst making sure it was getting done- that's dedication! the tablecloth is hand printed and hand finished with all the detailing done very carefully and with great success. we'll be offering this bespoke service to our clients soon, so stay tuned for more.
the buckles are a great feature that make the feminine florals a little edgier.
we love the pleats. it makes it very traditional yet a little 'punk', too! featured on top are our new cushion #9.
a close up of more floral patterns from our tulip tulip print.
the fabric, printing and design can all be made to your specification, that's what makes it such a special thing to own. we hope you are as excited as we are about this new project!
we had such a great time at 100% Design this year, and we made a whole lot of new friends and learned many things. thanks so much to all involved, and if you came to say hello or were kind enough to feature us on a blog or website, we really appreciate it. THANK YOU!
