SHOP

While I'm currently on the hunt for new UK and EUROPEAN stockists of embrace, I thought it was about time I made good use of the internet myself and created my own outlet.

This is nothing special and currently only allows the purchase of embrace. However it's 100% secure and in the future I may upload seconds/damaged stock or even prototypes for all of you bargain hunters out there and to free up some space in the studio. (any discounted stock will be listed on here first, so be sure to check back)

Here's the link to my new shop: http://www.johngreendesigns.bigcartel.com/

And be sure to check the 'stockists' page on my website over the coming months to see if embrace is in a stockist near you!

THE RESULTS

TOO MUCH FREE CHAMPAGNE! A great evening in a great venue. It was a massive surprise on the night to find I'd not only been nominated for 'Best Furniture' but also the 'Young Designers award' and to also look around the room and see so many famous 'Design' faces. It was a good feeling to be stood with Sir James Dyson (and Jess) while my work was being played on the same showreel as his.

The results can be seen above along with a quick snap of Me and Max Lamb, (just for the crack). Max is a designer I've always aspired to, ever since my student days and it was great to finally meet him! See his work here: www.maxlamb.org

I don't know too much about Champagne, but after drinking a good bottle and half of Nicolas Feuillatte during the night I know I definitely recommend it.

I also thought I'd include the first page of the awards program as I enjoyed seeing my name in the same sentance as the big time designers!

Homes and Gardens Design Awards - THE SHORTLIST

Here's a quick snap from the this months Homes and Gardens Magazine showing the short list for the awards that I will be attending tomorrow at the V&A. I'm more than happy to have been shortlisted after seeing the this years competition. Some big influential names in there! Certainly not the kind of people I normally compete against.....more people/companies I look up to.

Create | Sustain | Innovate

A quick pop-up exhibition for the DesignWorks residents at the Create | Sustain | Innovate event held at York St Johns University this week. Embrace and the Pantone wallstore looking proud.

The stand also shows products from fellow DesignWorks residents Thomas Stanley and Andrew Martin.

Manufacture

A few NICE snaps from my latest trip to Dorset. While on the last visit I managed to get video footage of the manufacturing process, so look out for a feature video coming soon.

PARIS

A few snaps from Paris last month at Maison Et Objet. I took a quick flight out there for the launch of the Pantone Wallstore on the Seletti stand. Although it's only been 6 months since I was prototyping it back in summer it seems to have been forever. This was my first time to visit Maison. One word = M A S S I V E.
