if you've been inspired by this report, and you are in the 'trade' of interiors or fabrics etc
the whole of the kings road becomes populated with focus visitors during the event so shops and showrooms often have great window displays. all these images are from the windows of peter jones dept store, and feature lots of products from the new collections by 'harlequin'. i didnt have any show pics from harlequin because they had the busiest showroom at focus, you couldnt move in there - plus unusually there were no brochures to pick up. still the designs were so wonderful that if you get chance to view them at your local stockist im sure you will love them. other products all from peter jones.
one final design left to feature from last weeks focus exhibition, rainbow colours from 'jane churchill'. 
continuing on from yesterdays posts on the focus event, heres a look at designers guild who were showing their new collections this week. there was a fantastic display of brilliantly colourful new designs - but for me the star of the show was tricia guild's new book 'pattern'. here are some images taken on tuesday to give a flavour of the store. if you're in london visiting, the dg shop and showroom in the kings road are essential viewing. for more on the book see the next post.
the new book - on display in the window.

this week saw the twice yearly 'focus' event take place at chelsea harbour in london. this trade only show, featuring many of the worlds top fabric and wallpaper companies, is where new collections are launched. the graphics for the show this year featured a jigsaw of japanese flowers in brown & teal, designed by dna productions in association with the stencil library. coming up are photos i managed to take at the show. two of the big launches take place offsite, round the corner in the kings road, at osborne & little and designers guild. these two showrooms are handily opposite eachother and there is free transport between them and the show. also taking place at the same time in chelsea is 'decorex', all part of london design week.
lots of images and patterns to come tommorow from the focus exhibition - they will take a while to sort out hence the slight delay.
above, bold new wallpaper from 'cole & son'.
striking black & white from missoni
above, great new designs from jane churchill, below woven pattern from jim thompson.
