It’s that time of year again – Spring trade shows!
We’re off to Maison et Objet from 21-25 January, supported by the British European Design Group (www.bedg.org) Please come and see us at NOW! Hall 8, stand L18
We will launch some brand new products there, including a new set of Christmas baubles in collaboration with a brilliant fine artist known only as Hin. His style is rather dark but humorous nonetheless.
Another brand new product that will be launched at Maison et Objet is 'Boat' - a fruit bowl or bread basket handmade from fine bone china with a rope handle.
The makers on the factory floor nicknamed it ‘the boat’ while it was being created, as they thought it resembled a Viking ship, and the name stuck! Its nautical name inspired the rope handles, too. The rope is spliced by hand, just as sail-makers and seafarers have done for thousands of years. We learnt the craft of rope-splicing especially for this! It’s not easy….
