Danish design on tour

Yesterday I went to check out the Danish hospitality house during London 2012 and what an wonderful experience it was too! Yes it was raining but as we all got handed a rain poncho it really didn't put a damper on things and people even sat down to watch the games on the large screen provided!

I was obviously excited to see our TASTE collection from designerSHIP forming part of "Danish Design on Tour" all exhibited in a gorgeous sustainable house of course!

With free entrance and free Danish hot dogs and gourmet tasters it really is a day out for everyone!

Don't just take my word for it go and check out the Danish spirit for yourself!

Great TASTE with designerSHIP...

I got SO excited this morning when these fresh images from designerSHIP landed in my inbox. The photos are from the Danish designed collection TASTE, and you may recall that they won the prize for the most distinctive new design product at the Formland trade show in Denmark earlier this year.

To see more from the TASTE collection please visit my shop.

Pedal love...

A bike shop in Altlandsberg, Germany, advertises by displaying 120 of their bicycles on the shop wall! Time to rethink my marketing plan...

Have a great week!

In touch with nature

In an ideal world this is where I would spend my weekend! On a Finnish island in a gorgeous cabin just like this one....
