Dller catalogue shoot.

I have just spent 4 days in Poland working with the team from Dller capturing images for our catalogue.  Our aim was to encapsulate the journey of the furniture that we design and produce; from the small artisan workshops that manufacture the components through to the finishing and packaging at Dller and then onto our outlets where we retail the product.

The catalogue is due to be released in late February, this will help to tell our story and shed light on the products which are designed, manufactured and retailed by Dller.

I would like to say thank you to all at Dller for their  hard work as well as a special thank you to Michal Leski our photographer and Monika Sobies'niewska our model, who were a pleasure to work with.


Joinery workshop.

Simple but effective.

I love workshops they all have their own story to tell.

Tools.

Michal and Monica hard at work.

Chidrens spaces.

Children's spaces are one of my favorite areas of interior designs, this has been borne out of experience, I have two of the little monsters myself.
When we say child this spans an age group from the age of one through to the teens, and if you have children you will know that the change in them can be weekly at times.
The space that is created has to be flexible to be able to accommodate this, and to be able to grow around the individual.
The joy of designing for this demographic is that fun is what drives the choices and the sky is the limit as to what the brief may contain.
I recently worked on a project that also exposed me to the phenomenon of outgassing which is the slow releasing of  gases trapped with in products and materials that we have around us, this is something that should be looked into before specifying materials for children's rooms.
