29 jan 2010



Looking forward to creative furniture


It's that time of year again--Awards Season! I don't know about you, but last night's Golden Globes usually marks my countdown to the Oscars and a lot of last minute movie-viewing. That's a lie. I usually watch for the dresses.
But let's not overlook (or forget that we're at work) another exciting awards program. The Brit Insurance Design Awards announced their 2010 shortlist today across seven industry sectors: architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interactive, product and transport. Antony Gormley will be chairing the jury, which will select the seven finalists announced on March 4, and an overall winner on March 16.


Check out the latest, greatest and even the unfathomable from surface brands you know and new ones you need to know. This year's Surface Design Show, is coming up February 16-18, and it's the UK's only show exclusively focused on interior and exterior surfaces.


In February, Manchester's Whitworth Art Gallery opens its exhibition of wallpaper, featuring more than 30 international artists. At first thought that may not sound like a wild time, but the designs are. The show wants viewers to re-evaluate the role of wallpaper in contemporary art. In brief, these aren't the florals of your nan's bathroom
