I've already shared a detailed look at some of my top picks from this year's 3 Days of Design, and today I'm turning my attention to the other exhibitions that caught my eye. They were a little smaller or more conceptual than the ones I've featured so far, so I didn't take enough photos to turn them into posts of their own, but they were no less interesting for it . . .
Earthy new-season inspiration from Zara Home
Even though it's still the middle of summer, details of autumn-winter 2019 homeware collections are beginning to filter out. Over the next few weeks I'm going to share some of my favourites - not because I think anyone should rush out and buy loads of new products (far from it!), but because they always provide plenty of décor and styling inspiration . . .
Top picks from Design Junction & the London Design Fair
I spent much of the second half of September hopping backwards and forwards between Bristol and London, trying to catch as much of the London Design Festival as I could. This huge celebration of design saw hundreds of pop-up installations and exhibitions taking place all over the city, a couple of which I've featured already. It also brought a cluster of interiors fairs, and today I want to share . . .
New furniture & homeware finds | November 2017
After last month's 'art special', I'm going back to normal with my November round-up of new furniture and homeware launches. So, without any further delay, here are some of the designs that have caught my eye over recent weeks... . . .
Spanish design | Gandia Blasco
I'm starting the week by sharing another discovery from the recent ‘Sunny Design Days’ tour of Spain, organised by the Spanish Design Association (RED). For me, one of the highlights of the trip was a visit to Gandia Blasco, a family-run company founded in the small Valencian town of Ontinyent in 1941. Originally a blanket manufacturer, it was reinvented in the 1980s by current president José . . .
Spanish design | Viccarbe
Today I’m sharing another discovery from the recent ‘Sunny Design Days’ tour, which was run by the Spanish Design Association (RED) to give a group of international bloggers a first-hand insight into Spain’s burgeoning design scene. I have to confess that I didn’t know very much about Viccarbe before the trip, but I soon fell in love with its contemporary furniture, much of it designed by . . .
![[AD - paid partnership] If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you might be aware that I’ve long been worried about the damaging effects of indoor air pollution. But you might also know that I’ve found an effective way to tackle it thanks to the stylish and sustainable @briiv.natural air purifier, which has the air-cleansing power of 3,043 houseplants and produces 80.57% less CO2 over its lifetime than any other model on the market. We've used ours every day for the past three years, so I was delighted when Briiv asked me to try out their latest model, the Briiv 2 Pro.
The Briiv 2 Pro has all the features of the original, plus some clever extras: an AI-drive sensor that monitors air quality in real time, and a setting known as 'Canary Mode' that can activate it automatically whenever this drops beneath a certain level. The latter has been a game-changer for us in recent weeks, springing into life to deal with the harmful particles from traffic and nearby wood-burners long before we notice them seeping into our home. I'm sure it will be very useful come hay-fever season, too.
There's a full review on the blog, but in short, it's a great product that really does make a difference!
