Lorna Syson at ICFF 2010







Hana and I are now back in the UK after showing for the first time at the ICFF in New York.

We had a brilliant show and had such positive feedback from the event. I would like to say a massive thank you to Hana for all of her support in New York and for helping to make it such a fantastic trip!

The large leaf cushion 60 x 60cm made from laser cut 100% wool and backed with 100% cotton was a very popular cushion at the event.






I was opposite the stand of Rachel O'Neill, a lovely lighting designer from northern Ireland, her work was amazing all made out from Velcro, she has been showing at the ICFF for a number of years now and her portfolio is brilliant! 

While out in New York I was lucky enough to go to a breakfast meeting with Sir Terrance Conran at the SAKS department store on 5th Avenue. It was a brilliant couple of hours listening to his experiences about how he started in the design world by doing a degree at St Martins in textiles.

I received a copy of his new book Eco House Book which is signed for me!
