> new retailer - "INSIDEOUT Malta"

Really pleased to be adding InsideOut in Malta to our retailer list. They will have sole representation of our work in Malta, a place I lived in for a few years as a child.

InsideOut Malta, an architectural and interior design practice working on high spec interiors, are currently building a new, state of the art showroom where our designs will be on display alongside a handful of top international companies.   

Looking forward to working with you. 

> Ideal Home magazine shoot.. at our house

On Thursday, we had Nicola Wilkes (stylist) and Holly Jolliffe (photographer) round to do a photoshoot on the design and decoration in our house for Ideal Home magazine. You can see the results in the November issue.  Lots of our wallpapers, Kartell and Scandi lighting and modern and retro accessories.

We will post some images we took later this week.

Thanks to Ideal Home for commissioning the shoot and to Nicky and Holly.... remember the smell of the Cowparsley????

Just seen that our Little Ben Wall Clocks were featured on the Consumer page of "The Week" magazine at the end of May in "the best of clocks" feature.

> Highly Commended in the Junior Design Awards 2011!

Back in January, we were invited to enter the Junior Design Awards, created to showcase the world's finest children's products, and we came 'highly commended' in the "Best Interiors Collection for Decor".

Junior describe our collection as "an arresting array of bright, colourful wall stickers,  working wall clocks and psychadelic murals".

Thank you 'Junior' for recognising us and and for continuing to champion great design for children. 

> Modern Art, Oxford - Haegue Yang

We were invited to the opening of the "Teacher of Dance" exhibition by Haegue Yang at Modern Art, Oxford on Friday.

Taking conventional household materials such as lighting cables and bulbs, infrared heaters, and drying racks, she wraps them in fabric and knitted materials in the most incredible palette of colours and textures. Her Venetian blind installation, suspended in one of the rooms was a mesmerising play on colour, texture, form and visual distortion... incredibly inspirational!

The exhibition is on until 4 September. Modern Art Oxford, 30 Pembroke Street, Oxford OX1 1BP. Tel: 01865 722 733.

Thanks to Mike and Carrie for inviting us.

NB: Images of the two installations above, are from previous shows.

> new resolution - must blog every day!!!

Just been so busy lately that we haven't got round to blogging.  Must rectify this!  

We plan to add lots more to the blog; new designs, latest ideas, what we're up to, where we've been, shows, interiors and events.

Going to be much more dynamic!
