A minimal wall mounted coat rack, made from solid oak and white painted dowels. My favorite part of the design has to be the concealed grove along the back, great for casual storage of that all important letter for the post office, and it also allows the product to neatly nestle inside of it's self when packaged.<br />

A quick paint job for the studio. I have to admit I wasn't a massive fan at first, we used floor to do it because it was cheap and the outcome is not the grey i had in mind, but it's starting to grow on me. VERY GERMAN!<br />

A couple of quick pics from my stand a HOME-LONDON, (the carpet didn't help with the exposure of the pictures). This was the first HOME show and I have to say I think it was great! I launched 2 new products and got plenty of new stockists on board.<br />

Here's how i'm spending my friday night.........prepping a few prototypes for the home show!<br />
Have a sneak peak at 45, it's a brand new product to be launched at the show. The brief behind the product was: You have just forked out £450 for your brand new festool saw. Now make that £450 back with a product that utilises the saw much as possible.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776977619054692529.post-88212852871020910992012-01-05T17:56:00.000-08:002012-01-05T17:58:42.509-08:00HOME<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After a nice relaxing christmas, the stress and late nights have begun. I will be exhibiting at HOME next week. This is a Brand New Exhibition at Earls Court and it runs alongside Top Drawer. The show will run from the 15 - 17th of January. Which only gives me a few days to finish off some BRAND NEW products and get some hi-res images ready. Oh how I wish I had time to prep some of this pre-christmas.

The project is running up until September 2012 and I have been tasked with getting in local and national designers to spotlight. (get in touch if your interested). <br />
We thought it would be great to get the shop open for Christmas, so I quickly asked around a few freinds and local designers in York to test how the shop would run over the period, see some images below:<br />
<br />
if you look close enough you may see a sneak peak of a couple of new John Green products.<br />

Things have been extrememly busy and i have been working on lots of new things. But amongst all of this I have finally moved out of the tiny temporary studio Angus had kindly made for me in snowhome, to share a nice big (COLD) building with 3 other York based designers:<br />
<br />
Phil Procter (<a href="http://www.philprocter.com/">www.philprocter.com</a>)<br />
Will Vincent (<a href="http://www.mrwillvincent.co.uk/">www.mrwillvincent.co.uk</a>)<br />
Turner & Harper (<a href="http://www.turnerhaprer.com/">www.turnerhaprer.com</a>)<br />
<br />
Over the past year, the above guys have already been using half of this building as their studio, while the other half was used a Tennis shop, but this month the whole building has become vacant as Tennis man has left. The space at snowhome was great for me and I will still use it from time to time, but it does not lend to storing stock and prototyping ideas, so when this whole building became vacant I couldn;t really say no. We are calling the place, 'the studio' and in the New Year, I'll be trying my best to spruce it up a bit, as you can see from the images it needs a bit of it, I might even take down the tennis sign from outside.....but for now it's just a nice big space to get creative in, with some safe storage for all those embrace tables.<br />
<br />
Although I have moved out of my snowhome based studio, I will still be working with Angus at snowhome on new products, and even more so now that I have a nice big studio space that I can stretch my legs out in....I even took the fixie for a ride around some embrace stock the other day. Have a look at some pics (the only things I can find on my computer at the moment, I'll try to create a virtual tour when I get time).<br />

This year I have taken a break from my usual routine of launching new products at 100% design and instead I have chosen to get my head down and actually take some time over designing some new products for launch in 2012. That being said, I could not let a LDF go by without being present. So if you are in and around the London Design Festival over the next few weeks be sure to check out: Design Junction. Here i will part of a Pop-Up Shop with various other designers (listed above), at the Pop-Up Shop you will be able to buy Embrace, Pantone Wallstore and Standard (for the very first time since it's launch at 100% design last year).<br />
<br />
The event is located at: <br />
Victoria House/Basement<br />
37—63<br />
Southampton Row<br />
WC1V 4DA<br />
<br />

Above is a sneak peak of a brand new light shade :) I'm sure in the next few months I will be posting some detailed post about new products.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776977619054692529.post-84249780856543658642011-08-30T09:08:00.000-07:002011-08-30T14:55:57.549-07:00DAVID MELLOR DESIGNS<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In NYC when I agreed to help breakdown their stand I spent a good half hour in amazement as I flicked through the David Mellor portfolio and learnt more about what he had designed. Being a bit naive I only knew of his cutlery. And to think i never knew who designed the Traffic Light makes me feel a bit of a clown shoe. So as I broke down the David Mellor stand in NYC I stuffed a few of my products into their pallets knowing it would get me down to their factory to collect them.<br />
<br />
Last week I finally got the chance to get myself out to the peak district for a visit and wasn't let down! That place is just amazing and whether you are a designer or not I recommend it. It was the CLEANEST factory floor I had ever seen, you seriously could eat your dinner from it. Visiting has made me realise that this is exactly what I want for my brand. Maybe in a few years time though ;). <br />
<br />
Thanks James for the coffee, the factory tour and most importantly bringing home the things from New York.

This is used to keep business cards and write down notes from orders and contacts etc... There's always the odd inspired sketch in there too. When arriving in New York there was no need for my own Moleskine as greeting me on my stand was brand new ICFF limited edition notebook...well worthy of blogging. Even if it is a few months late. Check out the debossed ICFF logo, wrap and the note inside.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776977619054692529.post-82562144421386885922011-07-12T02:05:00.000-07:002011-07-12T02:07:26.732-07:00NEW DESIGNERS 2011I've just returned from a week in London for the New Designers. This year I was helping out York St John University, working with them on the stand design and build. It was a big stand to build in a day but we managed it...just.<br />
<br />
There are some promising graduates this year. I particularly enjoy the concrete stool 'dainty' and jigamals.<br />

Over a year ago now I was down at the habitat HQ being filmed for an episode of Britains Next Big Thing. It was aired on BBC 2 last month and with everything being so hectic with exhibitions I never had the chance to watch it properly. I did however see episode 3 right before I headed off for Grand Designs to see that after a whole day of filming I starred on it for about 2.5 seconds...ha..what you see in the screen grab above is about all you can see. Me walking through the habitat carpark with my mate si and a couple of embraces.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776977619054692529.post-27917367988043722522011-06-13T01:46:00.000-07:002011-06-21T16:28:24.424-07:00ICFF<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--X7fjXRx3cg/TfXNgyjw62I/AAAAAAAABK4/eU5kYOqe2RY/s1600/john_green_ICFF_10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="538" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--X7fjXRx3cg/TfXNgyjw62I/AAAAAAAABK4/eU5kYOqe2RY/s640/john_green_ICFF_10.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4F-MS0SFG_8/TfXLVpbYWoI/AAAAAAAABKw/pUiwlbKHR7o/s1600/john_green_ICFF_9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4F-MS0SFG_8/TfXLVpbYWoI/AAAAAAAABKw/pUiwlbKHR7o/s400/john_green_ICFF_9.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l0jqf-imQto/TfXHTyS4QeI/AAAAAAAABKY/plsP3p3JYSI/s1600/john_green_ICFF_3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l0jqf-imQto/TfXHTyS4QeI/AAAAAAAABKY/plsP3p3JYSI/s400/john_green_ICFF_3.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RI7_R2iEZso/TfXHJ3mq6aI/AAAAAAAABKQ/nSSGfcTnL70/s1600/john_green_ICFF_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RI7_R2iEZso/TfXHJ3mq6aI/AAAAAAAABKQ/nSSGfcTnL70/s400/john_green_ICFF_1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ekKiNebVeo4/TfXHYM7acZI/AAAAAAAABKc/yBEkSwGjl04/s1600/john_green_ICFF_4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ekKiNebVeo4/TfXHYM7acZI/AAAAAAAABKc/yBEkSwGjl04/s400/john_green_ICFF_4.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dHedGhFKWfU/TfXHPuQA9qI/AAAAAAAABKU/fvxbBVOFpEk/s1600/john_green_ICFF_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dHedGhFKWfU/TfXHPuQA9qI/AAAAAAAABKU/fvxbBVOFpEk/s400/john_green_ICFF_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3sOUPhOaxQM/TfXH258cj5I/AAAAAAAABKs/maa7hZpojhA/s1600/john_green_ICFF_8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3sOUPhOaxQM/TfXH258cj5I/AAAAAAAABKs/maa7hZpojhA/s400/john_green_ICFF_8.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mBN4XMDwV4E/TfXHgT7WvjI/AAAAAAAABKg/0RzCJuqglY4/s1600/john_green_ICFF_5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mBN4XMDwV4E/TfXHgT7WvjI/AAAAAAAABKg/0RzCJuqglY4/s400/john_green_ICFF_5.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mE_uLnFWses/TfXHlKEqZyI/AAAAAAAABKk/C7dQJ8hR0tI/s1600/john_green_ICFF_6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mE_uLnFWses/TfXHlKEqZyI/AAAAAAAABKk/C7dQJ8hR0tI/s400/john_green_ICFF_6.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well...it's been an eventful few days, but I have to say some of my most relaxing of this month.

Took a pic of my feet each day and wasn't sure what to do with them, so here it is, mine and Jess's feet out and about in NYC.<br />

Thanks to BA throwing my case around a little bit more than I expected, I'm having to do a last minute spray touch up in the hotel room. Thanks to jessy for setting up the spray booth.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776977619054692529.post-26347255834696990502011-05-12T08:51:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:28:02.552-07:00New York, New York<div style="text-align: left;">well, it's been an eventful few days, but I have to say some of my most relaxing of this month. Everything has just slotted into place quite nicely! I arrived in New York on Tuesday afternoon, wasn't jet lagged felt good had a nice stroll round. The city if everything I thought it would be....BUSY!</div><div>Decent view of the Empire state building from my hotel room:</div><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 400px; " src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nWnRYiqnReg/TcwDmx5z0cI/AAAAAAAABG0/QPYlD9aht_o/s400/IMG_0749.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605859600935145922" /><div><div style="text-align: left;">Got to the Javits centre yesterday to set up the stand around 9.30 only to find my pallet had not been delivered despite an email to say it's waiting on my stand. So as you can imagine I was slightly nervous. Anyway after a few phone calls back to the UK I was re-assured it was on it's way. Waited for a good hour but nothing came and I was getting a bit stressed out with it all.</div></div><div>There is only so much thumb twiddling you can do when your in NYC. (Think I'm actually weeding some vinyl in the image below).</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q3znlr8AEcc/TcwFeIoyHCI/AAAAAAAABG8/hZJd0ETkbM4/s400/IMG_0757.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605861651442179106" /><div style="text-align: left;">Went for a burrito and a quick sight see. Once we returned, as promised the Pallet was there. A couple of hours later and I was up:</div></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0eE4TRodSKk/TcwGldSIZAI/AAAAAAAABHE/phtjjW5HANw/s400/IMG_0773.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605862876755026946" />Back in the Hotel room now trying to get some good shipping prices and burning press packs. I'll be finishing off the stand later and will hopefully get some nicer images up!</div><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
