Top Drawer and Home

I recently visited Top Drawer and Home in London's Earl's Court, for the first time.  I went with the lovely Mel Smith from Mel Smith Designs, who is planning on exhibiting at one of these shows next January!  We were aiming to get some inspiration and we definitely did. We also got to met fellow designer Esther Cox for the first time!

So I thought I would share a few of my favourite designers that I found.

First up is Natasha Lawless who works from her studio in Hackney, London.  I really love her 'Into the Wild' wallpaper shown below.

Elena Deshmukh is a designer/maker of beautiful handmade cards.  Originally from a textile background, she first exhibited at Top Drawer in 2001!

Jade Devall had a lovely stand in Home, which I was instantly attracted to, as she has a mass of ceramic products! Her simple but quirky illustrations worked well across a range of mugs, plates, cake stands, cushion and tea towels.
