HOME a new homesware and interiors show
An interesting and inspired visit to ‘Home’ the showcase for the best in new home wares and interior accessories, held at Earls court.
“Home” is a spin off exhibition attached to Top Drawer, the show where retailers buy for their shops. This show is focused on interiors and a variety of design companies were exhibiting. The overall standard was incredibly high, and there were lots of established names such as Alessi, Marimeko, Conran, as well as many new ones.
The company who started as WW2, creating brands for customers such as The transport Museum, after their considerable success with the colour range ‘Pantone’ , have re branded themselves as Whitbread Wilkinson W2 Products ltd. I love their new range based on the images from Eames House of Cards. Here are a couple of pictures of the original cards being put to use building towers.

There were so many new and exciting products it is very difficult to pick out just a few. The work of Lindsey Lang who has been chosen by many Interiors journalists had a clean subtle geometric collection of kitchen ware. www.lindseylang.co.uk

I think I loved everything that The New English produce and wish I had capacious pockets to afford it all. Very innovative ceramic designs including Barbara Chandlers ‘Love London’ Range. www.thenewenglish.co.uk

Just as I was leaving the exhibition I was lucky enough to meet the trio of innovative and inspired people who have set up Heart and Home Magazine. I took a poor photo of them, but in my defence the quality of the light was very bad. I would also like to add they are all much better looking than my photo might otherwise suggest.
