The German textile manufacturer Nya Nordiska recently inaugurated the new extension of the company building in the historical center of Dannenberg, a small city in Northern Germany. It was a challenge to the architects of the Berlin based practice Volker Staab Architekten to align this highly functional building to the scale of the old town which is especially characterised by rather small stud work houses.

The Berlin based architecture and design practice coordination realised this secret VIP showroom for Nike in central London. With a lot of passion for details Flip Sellin and his team created an exclusive and frisky exhibition space.

'Les Danseuses' by Atelier Oï

‘Les Danseuses’ (the dancers) is an installation the Swiss Atelier Oï designed for the Vitra Showroom in Zurich. Depending on the speed of the rotation, the bicoloured textile ensemble seems to dance over the newly decorated exhibition.

'Hush ' Chair by naughtone

100%Design London has never been a trade fair in the classical sense. Rather than being a business marketplace for dealers, the concise exhibition of interiors has positioned itself as a rich source of inspiration for architects and interior designers. Besides the harsh situation on the market, this is another possible reason for the absence of some well-known British manufacturers, for which powerful brand presentation is more important. Despite all this, 100%Design stuck to its holistic approach and once again presented a convincing preselection of premium manufacturers.

Established & Sons who had also decided to not attend at Earls Court, presented themselves at their new premises instead. Their showroom and studio look absolutely unimpressive from the outside, but turn out to be really imposing once you have entered the building.
