Tent London 2013

So I haven't blogged in a while... but for the last few months I have been busy preparing for 'Wingéd' - an exciting collaborative stand showing at TENT LONDON next week!

Wingéd is a fabulous combination of three designers each with different backgrounds, specialisms and work processes - but who all share a love and a flair for designing fantastically unique interior products featuring the 'creatures of the air.'

Adam Slade Interior Textiles - bespoke digitally printed interior products for the home and and commercial spaces such as hotels, bars and nightclubs.

ArtHouseOrignals, Louise Rushford - interior design, hand finished artwork, wallpapers and textiles for interiors

Emma Wells Glassware - stunning bespoke hand-made glassware, for interior spaces.

Visits stand D07/G15 in HALL 1 at TENT next week to see these three designers bring their ideas together to create a truly unique and impacting stand.

Here's a sneak preview of some of my products showing at Wingéd @tent_london

FRANCIS HOTEL

I've completed installing my shades at the Bath Francis hotel on Queens square. Really enjoyed working on the project and the hotel is looking amazing with its fresh new interior! Now onto my collection for Tent London 2012

also.....

Have some surplus stock from the hotel for sale - limited amount. The shades are very versatile and the illuminated grey of the shade picks up the colour of the room its in giving it a very subtle colour tint

45cm diameter £160
50cm diameter £170

Recent pop-up shop

Haven't blogged in a while so I thought I'd update with recent events.
First was Living Room, a pop-up shop by Louise Rushford's, ArtHouse Originals.

The shop was on for two weeks and went fairly well, I sold 2 lamps and a cushion and the remaining two lamps and two cushions were taken by the owner of Prey Uk in Bath, and are now on the shelves for sale! Hopefully I will be producing a bit more stock for Prey if these ones sell well.

Louise also recently informed me that I've received another commission for a lamp through the pop-up shop which is great news. There's a picture of me avec un lamp in this latest issue of Bath Life Magazine, so  check that out also!

Finally, recently I had produced a set of sample lampshades for the Francis Hotel in Bath who are currently in the early stages of a renovation. They have recently confirmed the sample shades and are going to go for them in all 98 bedrooms! Fantastic news!

Right now I'm busy with all of the above but I'm also lining up things for next year, a few of which so far include the Liberty London open call day next Autumn and also a possible stand at Tent London with Louise (ArtHouse Originals) and another exhibitor from the pop-up shop who's work is absolutely gorgeous.

Watch this space!

Commissioned lamps

Just finished two lampshades on commission! Had them back from the printer/makers and then applied the bug silhouette laser cuts to the inside. The tall one was for someone who spotted my work at the degree show in Bath and the smaller sepia coloured one was a commission by someone who saw the work at New Designer, but wanted it in a rust/sepia colour pallet, which I was very happy to do of course! Hope you like.

New Designers

Here are some photos of my stand at New Designers. It went really well. I received loads of interest in the lamps and cushions, and a showroom manager for a showroom in the BDC has taken my work to display in the showroom! Also an interior designer wants me my designs to refurbish a well established hotel in Bath! Lovely :) Currently working with manufacturers to produce my shades and cushions, with very promising results. I can get on with my few commissions now.

Here are some photos sent to me by Nadja, the manager of 'Just So Art' which is the showroom in the Business Design Centre where my work is currently being displayed. According to Nadja, who is doing all of my marketing and advertising and has invited scores of designers, architects and contractors to see the showroom, my work is receiving lots of positive attention and quite a few people are really keen on the designs. She wants a stock of cushions so they can be sold on the 'Just So Art' website, in the meantime check on the website so you can see all the other amazing stuff my work will be sold amongst! http://www.justsoart.co.uk/   Details to follow, watch this space!

It's all come to an end..... for now anyway.

So my degree is over, the show is up, the private view and business evenings went well and it's almost time to take down the show. I've had such a brilliant response to the work, including some interest for commissions and presence in a pop up shop! Exciting. I've also been selected to go to New Designers, so theres still more to do, no rest for the wicked!

Here are some images from my show, for those of you that didn't get the chance to come and see it, so observe and enjoy. Any questions please feel free to get in touch!
