Scottish Interiors Showcase
The Scottish Interior Showcase saw interior designers and retail visitors descend on the McDonald Inchyra Hotel where it was a real pleasure to meet up with clients and colleagues from Scotland and the North of England. As one of our favourite shows, it provides the perfect opportunity to connect with customers who don’t feel the need to always head South for the shows.
Paris Deco Off
Paris Deco Off was back on form this year, after a shaky couple of Covid years, and we were fortunate to kick off 2023 by exhibiting at the Hotel Artus in St-Germain-du-Pres. We were delighted to meet so many interior designers and clients from both Europe and the USA, who have put this industry date back on the map.
Todd Knights joins Showroom
Bespoke curtain pole and finial makers Todd Knights have joined forces with us to display their beautiful poles and decorative finishes. For interior designers looking for a one-stop shop for window dressings we can now offer an extensive choice of styles, from traditional painted or lacquered poles, to contemporary glass and chrome designs.
