Taschide

Dear people of the blogosphere,
I am afraid I can only connect from an internet cafe for the moment. This means I have not much goodness or time to post. But Mr. M. and I are in Oxford. And we are alone (well, if you don't count the boxes everywhere). We are finding out how a flat of our own smells or looks. And we are happy.

I leave you with a pic of another new German design team, Taschide. In Designersblock they had this sea urchin woolen poufs. They also had stools with knitted "socks" and these animal shapped mirrors.

Miho Kaneno


Miho is a lovely lady with lovely products. She exhibited in this year's Designersblock in London and everybody went crazy for her pieces: Little, cute as a button handkerchiefs with prints of cookies and vintage plates. She doesn't have her own website yet but you can see more about her here.

Roam textiles

After all the coco de mer excitement, I return with the promised posts on the London design week.

At designersblock (you still have time to come see for yourselves until sunday) Roam textiles have proved a bright, cheerful and daring corner. They are a couple of Scottish designer who have been collaborating with fashion houses and are now launching their own line of blankets and soft furnishings. And the sofa where all of it is laid looks fabulous too.
Their motifs go from the ubiquitous Russian dolls, to the very fashinable nautical knots, to the downright cute illustrations. They customize baby blankets too.
How do you like it?




Lorna Robertson: S-h-o-p-p-i-n-g

This young and witty lady went around supermarkets performing a ritual of consumption. From baking muffings and paying for them in a supermarket, to writing dirty jokes behing beer labels. A wonder.
More about her here and here.

ladies and gentlemen... it's on!






Today was the "Press day" at Designersblock in Covent Garden.



And there was such a friendly mood all over the place! I'm really going to try and serve the information in bite-sized articles about different designers. So keep posted 'cause there are already a lot of them.

Sneaky, sneaky...

Shhh...
Don't tell anybody I've taken this pic.
This is how one of the most important design shows in london looks less than 24 hrs away from the press release!
If you are in London this weekend, do come by!
Designersblock is in Covent Garden's piazza, n.1.
And if you do pass by, say hi (Kith Kin area)!
