FOCUS 2006 - spring 07 ?

if you've been inspired by this report, and you are in the 'trade' of interiors or fabrics etc

why not come to the show next spring. the dates for spring are : 11, 12, 13 of march 2007. the location : chelsea harbour in london.

ps. i thought it was cute this year that they put lampshades on the street lamps.

time has run out today so tune in tommorow for more FOCUS 2006 with DESIGNERS GUILD, including tricia guild's new book !! and osborne & little.

fabulous cards

i fell head over heels for robert reader's cards when i first saw them back in july. my love for them had resulted in my sneaking around a store trying to get a snapshot, but now ive aquired some images from the designer himself. and they are even more brilliant !. produced for the art file; rob has teamed up with textile designer ally gore (he illustrates and she hand paints). and as if more proof were needed that these designs are fantastic the whole 'sculpture' range has been shortlisted for the henries (the award for card designers !).

FOCUS 2006

lots of images and patterns to come tommorow from the focus exhibition - they will take a while to sort out hence the slight delay.

design submissions

all these wonderful patterns are by the various designers who submit work to the fab website naked & angry .here you can browse 100's of patterns, and heres the fun part 'vote on them !'. those designs which win the most votes will eventually be launched as wallpaper. its such a great concept, and open to anyone to submit designs. hours of fun.

vintage fabrics

i recently recieved an email from lia hood telling me about these fabulous bags she makes using vintage fabrics. and here at P+P i never turn down the chance to look at vintage prints, especially when they are as bright and colourful as this. click to see lia's work on her good morning,morning website.

textiles

ruth singer is a textile artist and researcher. from her brighton studio she makes fashion pieces and homewares, using special techniques like applique and pleating.

back tommorow....

im out today at the textile show 'focus : chelsea harbour'. back tommorow for more great patterns.

100% DESIGN

i just wanted to give a run down of some of the people who were at the 100% design show last friday. starting off with jocelyn warner who launched her new kaleido range of wallpaper. this contemporary design also must have scored a hit with 'living etc' who used it to paper their stand. one of jocelyn's previous designs..

100% WALLPAPER

there was more great wallpaper from erica wakerly
