SKANDIUM HOSTS THE UK LAUNCH OF NARA BY SHIN AZUMI FEBRUARY 2011


Skandium is looking forward to hosting the UK launch of NARA, a furniture collection by multi award-winning Japanese designer Shin Azumi for Frederica, Denmark.
Frederica celebrates its Centenary in 2011 and to mark this special anniversary Frederica has chosen Shin Azumi to design a collection of furniture. The range reflects Danish crafts traditions while at the same time adding the flair of Japanese elegance. The collaboration with Frederica, who has a long tradition of working with accomplished designers, has resulted in a collection, which encompasses the ethos of both Japanese and Danish design, remaining sleek, simple and timeless.
The Nara furniture range was born out of a desire to create comfortable furniture from a simple wooden structure. The range is named after Japan's ancient capital Nara and seeks much of its inspiration from its free-roaming, sacred deer for which it is famous.
Nara comprises dining chairs with and without upholstered seats, a dining table and a coat stand.

Concept For Living to become Northern Homes

Following a triumphant 13 years as the North’s leading specialist home and garden magazine, Concept For Living is undergoing an evolution and will be changing its name to Northern Homes.
Inside, the new look Northern Homes magazine will retain the current editorial look and stance. Readers will still be able to flick to their favourite features, and there will be some new themed issues to look forward to too.
Concept For Living will transform into Northern Homes from its February 2011 issue, which will hit the newsstands on January 19th 2011. And in May the magazine will celebrate its 150th issue.
Managing director Stuart Mears said: “[Concept For Living] has always been a magazine for and aimed at the North. Changing our name to Northern Homes means that magazine buyers will instantly understand the product. Since the magazine’s launch in 1998, the interiors marketplace has changed drastically and we feel a relaunch and name change will help to reinvigorate our readers’ enthusiasm for interior design.”
Following the relaunch Northern Homes will benefit from increased distribution and an improved presence throughout retail outlets. As an advertiser, this means more than 105,000 potential customers will be available to receive your advertising message.
Dedicated key account managers will be on hand to devise a bespoke marketing strategy tailored to your business, and the new location specific issues will maximise readership potential throughout the North.
Rebecca Drake magazine editor since November 2007 said: “Exciting times are ahead. We are all eager to launch our new look title, which will be a huge benefit for our wonderful readers and also our valued advertisers. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the launch party!”
