London Furniture Fashion Week

My sister and fellow upholsterer Gina, of Gina B Interiors, and I ventured into London to catch a few of the furniture shows this week. It was a gloomy and wet day - but the upholstery was glowing!

Just had to share a few of our favourite pieces at 100%deisgn and Tent London: all made in Britain, and lots recycled from old materials!

Grey buttoned chair and yellow sofa by James - young guy with lots of beautiful pieces - perfect addition to any mid-century styled house.

Painted and papered chest, and psychodelic graphic upholstered armchair by Parris Wakefield. These would cheer any one up - we had a smile at these colourful pieces.

Upholstered fronted console, and pendant lights using recycled croqueting - by Furniture Magpies: love the using of upholstery in non-traditional ways.  Lovely people. They have classes too!

Hanging rail made of wooden rulers - easy to made and so effective

Chairs in Korla fabric print graphic by Galapagos - perfect pairing of vintage styled furniture and graphic fabric. 

Quilted and buttoned swivel based armchair, in grey and red wool, by Steurt Padwick. These were high-end pieces.

Painted and papered chest by Zoe Murphy - one for the annie sloan fans to try?

And fascinating lighting by Jon Male, made of recycled glass lamp shades - these stand about 5 foot, tall and proud like chess pieces, glow gently. Would love a couple of these to cheer up a gloomy space.

I would highly recommend a visit to Tent London - did not make it to Design Junction, but is on my list for next year (heard it was the best of all the shows..).  Decorex this week.
