Hello, design devotees!
Hold on to your hats because I've got some thrilling news to share! I packed my bags, marked my calendar, and braced myself for my Spring inspiration - London Design Week! This design extravaganza unfolded spectacularly on the 11th and 12th of March in the stunning Chelsea Harbour, the heart of all things design. Showrooms were buzzing with activity, prepping for their product launches - it was like walking into a candy store for us design lovers!
London Design Week, a global carnival of design, attracted the who's who of the design world from every nook and cranny. It was a vibrant hotpot of ideas and inspiration. This year boasted a jam-packed schedule of hands-on workshops and exclusive product reveals - talk about being spoilt for choice!
I soaked in all the inspiration during my two-day venture at the Design show at Chelsea Harbour. I was on a mission to absorb inspiration, keep up with brand launches, and reconnect with old friends and professional contacts from my past escapades.
The show was a treasure chest overflowing with the greatest brands, the newest collections, and a whopping 130 showrooms. It was like diving into a design wonderland!
GP & J Baker x Kit Kemp
Kit Kemp has worked with GP & J Baker for the first time on this collection of fabrics and wallcoverings that feature Kemp’s signature exuberant, art-led style.
My exploration journey was nothing short of a design treasure hunt. Every step revealed the latest marvels in wallcoverings, fabrics, and product design. It was like uncovering design gems at every turn!
I also caught up with our representatives to explore their brand's new collections. It felt like a design treasure hunt as we searched for the perfect fabrics and products for our ongoing projects.
One of the much-awaited highlights was the grand opening of Casamance's new flagship showroom in the Centre Dome. Imagine this - their latest collection presentation, all while sipping on cocktails. Now that's what I call a classy affair!
And to top off this design feast, we were invited to an evening of delightful food, refreshing drinks, and engaging conversation on Monday - the perfect way to unwind after a long day and an early start!
Ashley & Co
I also stumbled upon Ashley & Co, a modern day scent company, and their new scent collection for Home & Body. Their products, used in some of the world’s finest properties, are designed to enrich spaces and lives. I couldn't resist treating myself to some eco-friendly, plant-based washing up liquid and surface spray in Lotus Leaf & Lustre. Additionally, I purchased Mortar & Pestle Hand & Body wash and body cream. Their beautiful packaging and delightful scents were irresistible.

Overall, London Design Week was more than just an event; it was a celebration of fresh ideas, inspiration, and design excellence. Stay tuned for more updates. I hope to keep you inspired with my design adventures, and now it's back to the drawing board to incorporate all this inspiration into my design projects. Until next time, stay inspired and keep creating!
