For that last few years I've noticed a definite trend - what appears at Tent London, the cutting edge trade design show held at the Truman Brewery each September, usually appears everywhere else fairly rapidly pretty soon afterwards. With living spaces getting smaller and wallets getting slimmer, it was perhaps inevitable that furniture and design... Continue Reading →
Tent London 2011 – A cloche hat, fantasy ceramics & footballers knees
A few years ago, many visitors simply wouldn't have ventured from the safety of 100% Design to any other venues, what was the point...it was all under one roof! How things have changed. I remember speaking to Piers Roberts at Interiors Birmingham in 2009 about the recession and how we thought it would affect design... Continue Reading →
Solid stone bath too big & heavy? Not any more!
Never mind the recession.... what every interior hedonist really craves is a solid stone carved bath in which to luxuriate, sip a glass of chilled Chablis and soak away all their cares.

London Design Festival 2011 – Day 1, a few of my favourite images
As London Design Festival 2011 begins, so does a design fest of Moregeous blog posts. We've done 100%, Tent at the Truman, Designersblock, much of what Design East had to offer, the Icon Trail & St Paul's Cathedral, with just The Dock and Decorex to go, phewf! It's been inspiring, entertaining, interesting and hectic so far... Continue Reading →
London Design Festival 2011 and a special love letter
I've always done 100% Design, Tent London, Designersblock and more recently the cohesive London Design Festival on my own, armed with notebook, pen, camera and more recently iPhone. On my own and without hindrance or help. And coped admirably. However this year was different, as with an excess time, a hen party, a steppy at... Continue Reading →
