A book for kids and lovers about DESIGN stories


D.E.S.I.G.N. is a fascinating review of 69 of the most innovative household items from the past 150 years - from the classic to the most crazy.
One of the things we do really love about D.E.S.I.G.N. is that the illustrations are appealing to children, but the author hasn't dumbed down the information. There are 69 of the most innovative household items from the past 150 years in D.E.S.I.G.N. and we had no idea that most of them even existed. The illustrations are quirky, every page is full of bold colours, and there are diagrams showing you how each object works or is supposed to be used. There is a handy key at the beginning of the book showing you what each of the symbols mean throughout the book. These symbols on each page tell you what the object is made of, what it can be used for and which country the designer/inventor is from. There's also an index in the back to help you find your favourite objects. D.E.S.I.G.N. is a book that you can come back to again and again, and discover something new each time. It's the perfect book for those inquisitive children, especially boys, who want to know how things work, and adults will love it just as much as children. One of our favourite nonfiction books for children of 2011.

The Furniture Ombudsman releases new Annual Review


The Furniture Ombudsman (TFO), the Stevenage-based organisation which helps to raise standards and specialises in providing Alternative Dispute Resolution solutions for consumers and retailers in the furniture and home improvement industry, has published its annual review for 2012. 

This year was the 20th anniversary for the body, which was established in 1992 with the Office of Fair Trading.  Since then over 40,000 cases have been referred to the Ombudsman and the office handles around 1300 complaints every year.   Of those cases, 53% were upheld (in full or in part) in favour of the consumer, whilst 47% were upheld in favour of the retailer.

Kevin Grix, Head of The Furniture Ombudsman, said that this year has seen higher awareness than ever before of TFO and its role.  “Our message this year has been very strong,” he said.  “Consumers are empowered more than ever to choose who they shop with,and know their rights. Retailers recognise this and want to offer the benefits of TFO membership to their customers.” 

More qualified staff and more training courses delivered also characterised the year, he said,  “The organisation is thriving, and continues in its aim to deliver a first class, modern and relevant service to both industry and consumers alike.”

Space-transforming interior design with HIMACS®


In the Frankfurt Stock Exchange district, Wiesbaden architects 3deluxe have transformed the office floor of the turn-of-the-century Frankfurt branch of the international design agency Syzygy into a futuristic working environment. HI-MACS® acrylic stone has been used to create a flowing linear design delivering a striking space-creating effect on the interior of the central reception area and adjoining waiting area.

The organic design is a clear contrast to the surrounding original architecture, creating an exciting juxtaposition of old and new within the space.

A 22m long curve delineates the space created for the new working environment, which has specially made furniture and fittings made of HI-MACS® Natural Acrylic Stone. The organic shapes create the atmosphere of a room-within-a-room, its communicative and creative openness expresses the company‘s forward-thinking culture.

Frame Moooi Award Selects Jana Scholze as 2013 Juror

Organizers of the Frame Moooi Award are thrilled to announce the juror for this year’s competition: Jana Scholze, Curator of Contemporary Furniture and Product Design at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

‘We are excited to join forces with Jana and the Victoria and Albert Museum – a leading international design institution – for the 2013 edition of the award,’ says Robert Thiemann, editor-in-chief of Frame. ‘As a curator and expert, Jana is a neutral authority with an eye for the most inventive, fresh, modern and creative designs. We look forward to seeing who she selects as the 2013 award winner.’

As the Frame Moooi Award juror, Scholze will select the top 10 finalists who will be invited to the grand finale party during Milan’s Salone del Mobile in April, 2013. Here the award will culminate at a cocktail event on 10 April, where the grand prize winner will be announced – and walk away with the €25,000 cash prize. Scholze will also be part of a panel discussion and Q&A session on 11 April, where press and public will be invited to ask her about the process of selecting a winner.

‘The Frame Moooi Award is as exceptional and meaningful as it is open, specific and generous,’ says Scholze. ‘The aim to celebrate and promote innovation is convincingly supported by inviting simply everyone with a suitable project. The significant prize acknowledges not only excellence in design thinking and making, but encourages both designers and the creative industries alike.’

Scholze has worked on a number of major exhibitions, including Cold War Modern: Design 1945-1970 (2008), plus she often publishes and teaches internationally about contemporary design.

‘Hosting the Frame Moooi Award 2013 is a great honour and I am expecting to see outstanding and compelling, attractive and quiet, as well as fascinating and speculative work,’ says Scholze. She follows French architect and designer Philippe Starck, who was the 2012 award juror and crowned Dutch designer Bertjan Pot’s Stairway to Heaven as winner.

Arper Showroom launches in London


With showrooms already located in Milan, Cologne, Stockholm and New York, the London showroom in Clerkenwell will become the company’s new centerpiece – a flagship space in the heart of London’s architecture and design district. Beyond showcasing stunning Arper pieces this showroom presents the opportunity to share the company’s design vision – the pursuit of the essential – with the London design community.
The showroom has been designed by renowned architects 6A, who share Arper’s values of simplicity through pure design, focusing on elegance and sensuality of form and avoiding the superfluous. The concept for the showroom takes its inspiration from this philosophy as well as from the local environment, its history and cultural context. It aims to convey the innate qualities of Arper and Treviso with the style and exuberance of London. The space is a simple architectural unit constructed from different materials in shades of white, inserted into a concrete shell to make a singular backdrop for the furniture. Natural white plaster, bleached oak and enameled cast aluminum form a soft, finely crafted space open to the street on two sides. Finer details of the build — doors, ironmongery, skirtings — have been stripped back. The focus is on the relationship between space, light and furniture.
This space will be more than a showroom – it is an Arper ‘experience’ for architects, specifiers, designers and the public to learn more about the company and its ethos of open-ended and generous design.   It has also been designed to be flexible to allow it to play host to different types of events, through which Arper can communicate with its new London audience.
Claudio Feltrin, CEO of Arper, said: “London will be our flagship showroom across the world, more a brand embassy than simply a store. Clerkenwell is the perfect location for us as it has one of the highest concentrations of architectural and engineering companies in the world. And London is a dynamic hub of creativity, design and innovation, which has really inspired us.”
“Through this showroom we hope to increase Arper brand recognition but also position ourselves at the heart of one of the world’s leading cultural capitals.”
Tom Emerson, founder of 6A, said of the collaboration: “I am really excited to be working with Arper on this project, as they share so many of our values. Traditionally, Clerkenwell was London’s Italian quarter, a centre of manufacturing and precision engineering and we are reflecting this history in the showroom’s design. It is on a fantastically noticeable corner of Clerkenwell so transparency and visibility are key – we are hoping the Arper Showroom will inject a calm pause along this busy street.”
The showroom will be open from late October 2012 and will showcase Arper’s new collections of Saya and Juno chairs, unveiled at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile this year. It will also be home to Arper’s classic designs, from the iconic Catifa chair through to the playful Pix collection. 

A Sofa with a Heart

The Heart modular sofa from Softline, is much more than a sofa.  You can build single seats, a sofa or a day bed - Or configure lounge sofas of any desired length by combining the elements to each other. The backrest can be removed easily and attached again horizontally – giving you all the flexibility you need.  It is an ingeniously simple idea that is at the root of ‘Heart’.

Furniture Retail Quality Group publish a new guide for glass in furniture


FIRA is pleased to announce the publication of a new industry Standard for glass in furniture: FIRA-FRQG G001 Glass in furniture - requirements. The document has been produced by FIRA in conjunction with the Furniture Retail Quality Group (FRQG), comprising technologists from the major retailers of furniture in the UK.
The guide has been introduced to ensure that basic safety levels relating to glass in furniture and mirrors are maintained.
The introduction of harmonised European Standards has forced the withdrawal of a number of key British Standards covering the use of glass in furniture. The FRQG felt that the new European requirements did not fully address the safety risks posed by glass in furniture, and therefore were not compliant with the obligation to supply a safe product as required by the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. Subsequently, the FRQG has produced this new guide that contains, and updates, the requirements from the now withdrawn standards BS 7449 (glass in storage furniture) and BS 7376 (glass in tables).
It is expected that this document will become the document of choice when assessing the suitability of glass and mirrors to be used in the domestic environment.
The document is available for purchase online at FIRA’s online book shop – www.fira.co.uk/publications

Aeros now available in white


Louis Poulsen is launching the Aeros pendant by internationally renowned designer Ross Lovegrove in a white version, greatly extending the possible applications for this beautiful and slightly mysterious product.The other version, in an anodised golden sand colour, remains in the range.

The Aeros pattern looks significantly different in the white version. With the light off, the pattern has more contrast, and when the light is on the pattern and lamp appear lighter and brighter. The distinctive reflector with its Fibonacci pattern also has a different, decorative look when the light is both on and off.

Measuring 723 mm in diameter, Aeros is a large lamp, but the white colour greatly reduces the visual perception of it. The lamp is ideal for both dining and coffee tables. The light source, a 60W halopin, comes with the lamp and ensures optimum colour rendering, which is particularly important when used above dining and coffee tables. The light source can be dimmed,of course, which also helps to create a unique ambience.

Aeros retails at £1527

Fin Dining Chair by Matthew Hilton



One of Matthew Hilton's most iconic designs is his Fin Dining Chair, which has been used in contract projects worldwide including the University of Oregon Jacqua Center designed by ZGF Architects LLP, and The Olde Bell Inn designed by Studioilse in collaboration with 6a Architects. This solid wood dining chair is an example of both the thoughtful engineering and sculptural nature of Hilton's work. The complex shape is made of 8 components, joined with a combination of lap joints, mortise and tenon joints and locating dowels. Long grain to long grain connections throughout ensure great joinery strength, while CNC machinery allows for the intricate shaping of the form. Ergonomics were carefully considered in the design process, resulting in a chair with outstanding comfort.

Nest.co.uk is delighted to welcome German brand Zeitraum into their growing family

From the beginning all her furniture designs were made by local joiners using clever wooden joints as opposed to simple screw together solutions. Even today when the furniture is manufactured in much larger quantities, every piece is made to these same strict quality standards.

Introducing Sqillé


Bringing the moon into your garden to illuminate your evening while the stars come out above.

Following Clay Designs’ highly acclaimed and successful launch of Sqill, their cable free illuminating coffee table, it soon became clear there was another place for their table to shine. The recurring question; “Can it go outside?” spurred the Principal Designer, David Chapman, full throttle into the development, which had been part of the Company’s future plans.

“It was no easy journey” says David, “but we knew it would be possible”. Following a stringent R&D programme, Clay Designs are proud to announce that is exactly what they can now offer - introducing Sqillé.

Apparently pronounced either ‘Sqill-ay’ or ‘Sqill-ee’ depending on your preference, Sqillé is a stunning outside light sculpture that functions as a table and an area’s statement ambient lighting.

“Creating the perfect ambience outside is equally as important as in the home” says Roxanne of Clay Designs. “Combining mesmerising aesthetics and beautiful illumination, Sqillé is designed to naturally extend your living space and welcome you out into the open air.”

Whilst the level of variety within the outdoor lighting market is increasing year on year, the range of stylish options which can provide central social lighting to areas is extremely limited. The integrated energy efficient LED lighting of Sqillé lasts around 12 hours before slowly dimming and is quick and easily recharged in-situ.

Clay Designs will be creating pop up events with Sqillé over the summer, be the first to discover the secret party dates and destinations by signing up to their newsletter at www.claydesigns.co.uk.
