Farrow and Ball Painting

 

Whilst everyone was partying this weekend we were busy painting away in the French sunshine trying some beautiful Farrow and Ball colours for a renovation project.

BelaBela Bubble Lights UK Premier

 

Back in September we took a trip down to the annual London Design festival, and our favourite event TENT did not disappoint. With a mix of brand new designers and revitalized classics such as the much loved Ercol, the event is not only to see the next year ahead in design but to meet the designers. Lucky for us were we to stumble upon the BelaBela stand hosted by Slovenian textile and fashion designers Jana Mršnik and Vesna Štih, showing a beautiful array of sea anemone like lights which caused us to stare and stroke them for far too long! 

The upshot of this episode of mesmerized awe meant that we had the oppourtunity to meet the lovely Jana Mršnik and witter on about how much we loved the lights. With a quick demonstration on how they worked and the versatility of the product we were sold, and spent the rest of the day planning imaginary projects we could use them in.

We didn't need to wait long as the oppourtunity arose the following month at a snow themed pop up bar. Luckily the client was an enthusiastic as us to use these wonderful creations and we secured the UK premiere of the BelaBela Bubble lights.

Bubble Lights by BelaBela - made from recycled polypropylene are hand assembled to create beautiful fluffy effect. Our  bubble lights traveled all the way from Slovenia, but for a chance to buy them from somewhere closer to home your could try UK stockist Room39 in London.

Le France Project

We work on a wide range of projects here at Blackbird Design Studio but nothing makes us feel as summery as our current project in France. Working on a 15th century farmhouse takes care, attention and fortunately many trips to sunny climes! Working with an amazing British architect we're currently in the mid-stages of this evolving project, the next stage in the conversion of the 400sq metre barn space into a contemporary house. C'est magnifique!

Here's a sneak peak of the terrace going down yesterday...
