Origin & Conran

During our next stop of Blog Tour 2011, we began the day at Origin: The Contemporary Craft Fair held in the Old Spitalfields Market in London. The sun was shining and the market was already buzzing.

I have been to several craft shows across Canada and the US and it was interesting to see the differences in trends from walking the aisles of this show. Animals and nature were visibly present and seemed to have inspired several of the exhibitors within their pieces.

We ended the day with dinner at the Conran headquarters in Sir Terrence Conran’s Penthouse. It was a fabulous evening and being in the space that he used to live in felt like a window into his world and I couldn’t have felt any more inspired by it.
