Just a quick note from me today because I thought this would definitely interest you all, I saw a post on The Independent about a couple of designers, Matthew Hilton and Paul Newman, who have got together to connect high street furniture shops and real design talents. Most of the current batch produced ‘affordable’ furniture is designed by faceless companys who dont so much design furniture as throw together what spare materials they happen to have around.
It looks like it could be a big step forward in getting real designer furniture at affordable prices, imagine walking into a shop and seeing sofas designed by Robin Day and then realising you could actually afford it as well! Amazing!

Wow! Hilton and Newman are really great designers. I really hope I can own one of their creations someday.
