Out and About

ByHelen Powell Last updated

It’s been a busy and exciting week here at Design Hunter HQ so I thought I’d share some images of my week. Last Friday Graham and I attended the Birmingham Made Me fashion show and awards ceremony where we picked up a surprise award for ‘Best Overall Exhibit’ for our Obsessionistas Design Archives display.

On Sunday, The Sunday Times ran a feature on interiors bloggers and I was delighted to be included and mentioned as one of the 10 best interiors blogs.

Yesterday we were in London for the Royal College of Art degree shows. We also managed to fit in a quick tour of some of the AW2012 press shows in the Brompton Design District and a visit to The Serpentine Gallery to see the Yoko Ono show and Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Wei Wei’s pavilion – I highly recommend both.

Have a great weekend.

10 highlights from Interiors UK

It was great to catch up with Designers Block again at Interiors UK last month. Last year Graham and I exhibited our trends project with them at the Birmingham event (and later again in Milan). The space they create at Interiors UK is always the hub of the show, injecting a uniquely fresh, relaxed and fun vibe into the event.

This year they created a department store, Designers Block & Co., complete with a lighting department, a perfume counter by scent artist Olivia Clemence and white goods by sculptor and illustrator Camilla Barnard.

Another high point of the event was the New Design Britain Awards. The brightly coloured weaves above are by Sian O’Doherty who picked up the best textiles award.

Here are some of the highlights from Designers Block, plus more from the New Design Britain Awards and the rest of the Interiors UK event.

  1. Thank you for a fabulous insight into what most of us perceive as a glamorous world! I will definitely have a look at making the Liberty print oven glove sewing project and keep note of all the other lovely links you have given. Amanda x

  2. Hi Amanda, it's not always quite as 'glamorous'. Often it's just me and my laptop but as I don't live in London when I do visit I like to try to fit in as much as possible.

    Would love to know how you get on with the Liberty oven glove sewing project & see pics.
