London Design Fair; sustainable British companies

If you follow us on Facebook you may have seen that last weekend I was up at the London Design Fair with my “official” job at Newlife Paints. We were part of a stand share organised by Blue Patch which is a not for profit organisation which offers a Sustainable marketplace for UK design, ethical fashion, eco-furniture, green gifts, organic & fair trade food. I wanted to have a quick explanation of the different companies which were on our stand since they have all worked so hard to get where they are:

• Reborn paints; of course I’m going to start with our own company! We offer recycled paint, for interior walls and ceilings.
• Bruce Aitken; Bruce makes these most amazing wooden clocks (from locally sourced hardwood) which have no hidden batteries or motors.

• Lisa Watson; Lisa makes stunning 109% British made quilts, blankets and cushions.
• AFID Designs; Michael makes bespoke furniture focusing on innovative, functional forms, produced with quality sustainable materials, subtle detailing and fine finishes.
• Copper Dust; Vanessa makes bespoke lampshades in fantastic designs which are a mixture of eclectic British and African culture

• Fable and Base; produces luxury, bespoke, sustainable fabric available by the metre. Hand printed onto luxurious natural materials.
• Denby Pottery; natural materials, handmade and British pottery.
• Studio Perki; Ben designs and makes these amazing flatpack furtniture, they are all high quality and space saving.

• Fleetwood Fox; make gorgeous thick rugs from 100% hard wearing wool.

We are so proud to be a part of Blue Patch, such an amazing bunch of businesses, with sustainable British design at their core.
