Where smart retailers go to get ahead

To STAND-OUT from the high street this summer, make it to Pulse to discover:

• Inspirational leading names in contemporary design from the UK and around the globe
• Thousands of new product launches to get you noticed, from a carefully sourced collection of over 500 top exhibitors
• Launchpad; a platform for cutting-edge design talent, who are showcasing unique products that you will not find at any other UK trade event

Lullabies and fairytales come included at 40 Winks, so get out your best PJ’s and slouch socks and come on over…

This four storey Queen Anne townhouse was built in 1717 and has now been lovingly and elegantly converted into a beautiful boutique Hotel, by well known London interior designer David Carter.

Offering only two rooms, Carter himself claims that 40 winks may be the smallest boutique Hotel, but also the most fantastical.

With an eclectic mix of the traditional and the contemporary, for me 40 winks can only be described as a bold, yet romantic home from home that I can’t wait to stay in and explore.

Lights out, and Carter’s on hand with fantasy tales and bedtime stories which are regularly open to up to 40 visitors.

Night, Night, Sweet Dreams.

Rooms from as little as £65.00 per night

It’s a busy time in the World of Fashion and design with both London Fashion Week and London’s Design Festival Starting this week.   Not to be Missed!

The Festival provides a platform for the creative talent at work and creates a unique opportunity to visit over 200 specific events and activities reflecting the diversity of world-class design talent in the capital.

The London Design Festival is the UK’s biggest annual celebration of design and reflects London’s status as the world creative hub.

The Festival is now a major event on the global design calendar, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world. As a leading cultural event in London and one of four key international events in the city’s autumn creative season, the Festival continues to evolve. I hope you will be part of its future.

During my recent visit to London’s Top Drawer Show, I was lucky enough to come across the unique and colourful designs of Jessica Graham. Having only launched her collection earlier this year, Jessica has already managed to snap up the prize for Top Drawers Best New Children’s Product, as well as selling out of all her show stock.

Jessica’s cushion cover designs are inspired by an early childhood spent in asia, offering a fantastic range for both kids and more adult living spaces. Having graduated from London’s University of Arts with a First Class Honours degree, Jessica also offers hand painted and vibrant canvases as well as wonderful bespoke wallpapers.

I urge you to ‘Watch this space’ There will be a lot more to come..
