A talent spotted within the Belgian camp at 100 percent Design was Nathalie Dewez. I love her Sol Air ...it sways at different angles which gives so much more life to light ...A true addition to the category.  Her Sol Air in its exterior version is here in white but color LED also exists.

Her track record is already en route for such creds: she has presented at several exhibitions and shows such as the “Biennale Internationale de Design de Saint-Etienne ” (France), “la Quinzaine du Design du Jardin in Chaumont sur Loire” (France), the Furniture show in Milan (Italy), the “Prix du Jeune Design Belge” (Belgium) , the Satellite Show in Milan (Italy).

Winner of the “Young artists” prize of the French Community, Nathalie's place in design is growing on the Brussels, Belgian and international level."

Armani's growing collection in interior designs now includes 3 lovely outdoor pieces.

One company has a great portfolio of approaches - all urban/modernist. They work with many of the best designers. A true one stop shop for the time tight garden lover. They design, offer furnishings, source art, construct ponds, pools, etc...

When I worked in advertising, we used to make fun of a leading art director who could not start a conversation without saying ' OK fine, but what is the ONE thing that would elevate the whole project and bring it to that next level?'..She was so right though...

It is not surprising that award winning designers such as Andy Sturgeon or Philip Nixon meticulously select the best artists for their projects. I hope you find inspiration in the Art photo album.

Emu is a long established Italian brand famous for working steel and metal.For our benefit, it has recently redeployed and has started working with Massaud and C. Pillet.

The new lines presented at Maison et Objet were eye catchers ranging from sleek metals and mesh to space age ...A brand to watch out for.LINK here

Jean-Marie Massaud designer of the year

Jean-Marie Massaud, the famous French designer who projected Emu’s new metal collection “Heaven”, has received the Designer of the Year award from the Salon du Meuble of Paris. In an interview published by Le Figaro, Massaud talks about his exhibition at VIA in Paris– Emu is present with the Heaven armchair – called “From the chaos, let a sense be born”: in a society experiencing crisis, being is more important than showing up. Massaud is not interested in creating trendy products, but rather an ethical brand, carrying values like ecology, durability and quality of service

The strongest underlying trend in the outdoor market is certainly the wish to upgrade and have the same level of excellent design in and outdoors.Amanda Levete's Drift bench certainly heads that way: selected by the edgy Established and sons
