COLOURFIX

Went to Decorex in London yesterday! And this is a little preview of what I saw! A mix of patterns and colours . Optical with flowers, turquoise blues with salmon/coral pinks! Hawaiian Tropical! This was the stand of The world of Interiors, their style is typically sophisticated, convention English quirkiness, as always!

Lelièvre showed the second fabric collection by Jean-Paul Gaultier. Similar colourway and patterns that mixes Madonna like images with old fashioned bookmarks! I like!

Came across these Moroccan tables/chairs in lovely shades. Mixes well with the above interiors! More tomorrow!

CONRAN SHOP BY JASPER!

Not only has Jasper Conran done wonders with Conran Shop after he has take over from his father, but also added a lot of table settings to inspire the customers!

One part of the shop is dedicated to organic crops etc and gardening, very nice display. Go and see for yourself next time you are in London. Fulham Road/Sloane Street, Fulham!

Judd at Conrans this week, cleanism at it´s best! Sir Terence Conrans fashion designer son has taken over the running of the shop and he has done wonders!

LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL - a preview!

At Designjunction I bumped into my old friends the architect and design trio Claesson, Koivisto and Rune who had designed these cosy lamps for The Andes House. Just one of the many destinations during LDF. Puh, got home yesterday afternoon after having done London Fashion Week and London Design Festival. Very inspiring and fun though!

Conran Shop is these days run by Sir Terence fashion designer son Jasper. And very well so! This was part of their exhibition during LDF, more about it later!

Reuse and vintage is still very much on! Here Galapagos that is trying to produce vintage furniture in new clothes as a line! Nice!

Hanging lamps, in a bunch or hung together is the big trend! Glass, metal, ceramic, wood - any materiel is aloud.

Ceramics are very much inspired by old designs, from the Victorian times to the 50-is and 60-is. Hot pink and gold are really hot here!

Neon's as an accent colour give that little extra to your interior or home! Very in! This was just a little preview of what to come here. Follow me and see more during the following week!

LIGHTING AND A GREEN TREND AT DESIGNERS GUILD YESTERDAY

Tricia Guild launched her new book, Colours, yesterday at her home store on Kings Road in Chelsea/London. The flagship store had been redesigned in blues and greens with a hint of neon pink! Refreshing and vibrant! More about the fabric side of trends from me next week when Focus (Chelsea Design Center, Decorex and a lot of the interior design fabric showrooms show their new collections.

When I was working with Elle Decoration in Sweden in 1990 the trend was very much about branches! It is all back but more colourful and oversized! There was also a big focus on lamps in any forms at London Design Festival this year, from floor lamps like this to hanging ones in glass, with croched shades etc. More next week...

Knitted, croched...the handicraft trend when i comes to lampshades continues. This i saw at Tent yesterday...more later on here...now I am on my way to the Victoria and Albert Museum to see some more design...full report next week! Have a nice weekend.

BREAKFAST WITH TOM DIXON AND MOOOI YESTERDAY

Moooi had made their exhibiton at their showroom in Portobello Docks more human! Felt like you were in somebodies home! Well worth a visit if you are in London this week!

Breakfast à la John Bauer at Moooi. Lovely display made me feel like a little troll in the forest. Lovely!
