Happy Days Are Here Again

The sun is shining, the birds are twittering away, the sap is rising, and the time has come for the design obssesive’s fancy to turn to- yep, you guessed it, the spring design shows. Entire rooms filled with all the shiny, lovely distillations of human ingenuity and imagination. Shallow? Us? You bet! Before you sneer and tell us that you spend all your time thinking of higher things, feast your eyes on these bits of gorgeousness which are due to be shown at the Clerkenwell Design Festival next week, and tell me you’d rather get your furniture from Ikea. Exactly. You can’t do it, can you?I rest my case, M’Lud.

Hope you all have a wonderful week filled with higher thoughts of course, but if you get a chance, go sneak a peek at the new pieces that designers with bleeding thumbs and furrowed foreheads ( non-Botoxed) have been slaving over for the last year. Pip pip.
