One of the wonderful things about working at Inform is the diversity within the staff and our clients. We
have the opportunity to use our skills in different aspects and to work on projects of all sizes and
varieties.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Sharron Bortolotto from BBA Design. Together we
furnished the presentation centre for the Nest development at SFU.

Sharron’s vision to use “real” furniture, “classic” furniture and furniture that was accessible to everyone,
drew me to the project. All of the items used in the Mosaic Homes presentation centre are standard size
and can be purchased through Inform Interiors. There were no custom made beds or sofas’ trying to
make the suite appear larger than it really was.

BBA was looking for a “Danish” feel so elements like the Concert Pendant by Jorn Utzon and the CH07
Chair by Hans J Wegner were chosen to work alongside more modern pieces like the Canyon Sofa by
Niels Bensen and the Zero Dining table by Jesus Gasca.

Fresh tones of green, neutral wool throws and lots of natural wood really make the suite inviting. We are so pleased with the outcome.

Mosaic Homes has already sold over half of the units in the 5 story wood and concrete development, I
spoke to Ashley at the sales centre and she told me the response from potential buyers has been
extremely positive.

I encourage you to visit the 800sq/ft 2-bedroom suite and see how our furniture can work in any size
space and compliment any size of budget without compromising on the design.

During Niels and Nancy’s visit to London, they stopped by Liberty,  a long-established department store on Regent Street in the West End shopping district. They couldn’t help but notice Tom Dixon pieces within. Above is the large Cone light with stand.

The shop sells fashions, cosmetics, accessories, gifts. Liberty has its own team of window dressers and is known for imaginative and often surreal window displays, especially at Christmas.

Liberty is a leading destination for shoppers in London, a wonderful emporium where the latest fashions sit alongside design classics.

Nancy and Niels visited a tiny store opened by British designer Jasper Morrison on their recent trip to London. The store is very tucked away, only a few visitors a day,  and is actually housed in an unused area of Morrison’s studio. The design of the shop is simple, wooden shelves are stocked with Morrison’s own designs and those of his peers such as designers Sori Yanagi and Naoto Fukasawa.

There is currently a really lovely display of items for the Super Normal book by Fukasawa and Morrison (pictured above left). The book is a compilation of 204 everyday objects in search of ‘super normal design’.

“The shop was opened because we had some extra space in our new office, and after the super normal exhibition (at axis gallery tokyo) I wanted a continuation of the contact that it provided me, with everyday, useful things. My feeling is that design which follows the current ‘entertainment’ model which attaches more importance to media exposure than to the real-life performance of an object has run its course, and that it’s time for designers to shape up and design things which have built-in long-term performance. The shop is an idealistic showroom for those things, rather than a commercial venture, though you may leave with less money than you arrived!”
