Designs of the Year
I must admit I don’t often think about how design is all around me. I could say it is embedded in my life, from when I wake up to when I go to bed. My alarm clock, the typography in my book, the label on my favourite bottle of plonk and the lamp I switch off at night. If you think design is just function, think again.

French artists at Genty Fine Art’s Christmas Show
I have always loved the saying “you learn something new everyday”; mainly because it is a saying my grandfather always drummed into me and also because I think it is a very accurate description for the ‘art world’. "L'arbre juane" by Francoise Bossut This was especially the case when I met David Genty. Genty Fine Art mainly work with established... Read more
