News from HOME
25 | 01 | 2012

Designed & Made member Bettina Nissen recently returned from HOME ("the definitive new trade event for homewares and interior accessories") where she was exhibiting some of her products with the 5ml collective.

Here are her impressions of this new addition to the design show calendar:

HOME is a smaller show than TENT or 100% Design, but it is a lot more targeted towards home accessories rather than contract furniture. Overall it had a great contemporary feel and I saw a lot of really good quality, well designed products on show, by some of my favorite design brands.

I also felt the show was more commercial, by which I mean there were a lot more actual buyers of retail products who visited the show to place orders and a lot of them did. Ilsa Parry and Tom Sutton, who were at the 5ml stand throughout the show, made quite a number of good retail contacts and took orders for the group of designers they selected to show (including our member Bettina Nissen). So although HOME is not the cheapest trade show, it was a great success and definitely a show to keep in mind for next year if you are in the home accessory market.
