James is young bespoke furniture company, founded by designer James Harrison in 2006. I managed to speak with James at 100% Design and I need to say he was really friendly and he told me a little bit about his business. 

James himself is very passionate about bespoke items and craftsmanship. He says that their pieces reflect their British nature. The team is made up of carpenters and upholsters in the UK who have acquired their skills over decades, built on tradition techniques. 

Having a small but dedicated team managing every project allows us to offer a personal and collaborative approach for each client, ensuring that our exacting standards are delivered at every stage of each project. James UK make a conscious effort to responsibly source materials and support the British manufacturing industry in order to minimise our impact on the environment.


I like their style: simple, but special, with a great attention to the details.

Happy Saturday Everyone :) I hope you all have a chance to sleep for a little bit longer today...
Today's post is dedicated to the soft stuff, like cushions, throws and blankets in respect to the weekend.

I have met Jorunn Hustoft at DesignJunction during London Design week, she was presenting her own company called Nnuroj. I was curious to see all those lovely knitted items she was showing. 
The company was launched in the summer of 2012. Jorunn is Norwegian designer, who works from her studio near the seaside in Brighton, UK. She is using a hand-powered domestic knitting machine to manufacture all her produces. Every textural detail is created by hand to achieve the luxurious, high-quality finish. The modernisation of traditional crafts techniques is a central theme within the development of her designs. Inspired by lace making, upholstery and the ways that wool can benefit our living environment, her main concerns during the design process are to create pieces that are unique, durable and sustainable.
