<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One is a futuristic War of the Worlds inspired lamp by Cardboard Boutique.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other lamp shade designs by the Nottingham maker using recycled cardboard have been incredibly popular but this one of a kind lamp uses corex ( a type of strong, lightweight plastic 'cardboard' used mainly for signs).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has a domed shade and a subtle orange glow. The stand is in a tripod style reminiscent of that genre. Perfect for any science fiction addict !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other item is a Mid Century solid teak display cabinet by Turnidge of London - a niche British maker in the 1960's and 1970's </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The back of the cabinet is mirrored and the shelves are glass - perfect for retail.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We have been able to introduce some products from designers such as Tom Dixon and Graypants as well as retaining some of our local makers and designers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The recycled cardboard lampshades have been a really good seller and we can't wait to introduce more lovely products for the home - including furniture, soft furnishings and home decor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

We stock jewellery, clothing, bags, glassware, food items, speciality teas, art and greetings cards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just before Christmas 2015 we collaborated with the guys from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PrismaClothing/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Prisma Clothing</a> to create <a href="https://www.facebook.com/store51uk/timeline" target="_blank">Store 51</a> in the Lace Market area of Nottingham and one of the new businesses we featured was Studio Chocolate. They are based in Nottingham City Centre and the chocolates are the creation of it's young chocolatier Ellie who has studied pattisserie at Le Cordon Bleu in London. The sales of <a href="http://www.dezigne.co.uk/the-artist-collection---handmade-chocolates-1495-p.asp" target="_blank">The Artist Collection</a> of chocolates was amazing ! The chocolates are inspired by some of the World's well known artists such as Picasso, Dali and Monet - the flavours are original as well as the colours used - for example the Van Gogh is a bright yellow white chocolate with a swirl of dark chocolate on top, covering a tangy passion fruit ganache.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whilst still thinking about prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses etc. I came across this Etsy shop called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AtelierSignature?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav" target="_blank">Atelier Signature</a> -based in Chicago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just love the 'mismatched bridesmaid dresses ' - they are really pretty and a great idea -either all the same style but in different shades or different styles but in the same colour. You can be really creative with your colour choices and each dress can reflect the bridesmaid's personality.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Has Spring finally arrived ? It certainly feels like it here in Hockley today. It's also the time of year when thoughts turn to special occasions such as weddings and proms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the last 10 years the American style prom has become increasingly popular in the UK.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 24px;">The humble school disco is almost a thing of the past, with an estimated 85% of UK secondary schools now holding a prom during June or July, the majority for 15- and 16-year-olds after their GCSEs</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course it is still a big part of the year for University students as they attend end of year Summer balls.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They have created a limited edition range of men's shirts and T shirts - the clever bit is that they only produce 100 of each design - once they are out of stock that is it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The great thing is each new design is better than the last !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shirts are 100% cotton and the T shirts are a blend of cotton and bamboo jersey -very soft and great quality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The long sleeved shirt designs range from classic to the more quirky design. Suitable for both work and leisure time - but always looking sharp.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.dezigne.co.uk/fashion-and-clothing-87-c.asp" target="_blank">Dezigne</a> stocks both the T shirts and shirts plus other Sauce & Brown accessories such as tie pins, pocket squares and journals.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Steampunk is an inspired movement of creativity and imagination. With a backdrop of either Victorian England or America’s Wild West at hand, modern technologies are re-imagined and realized as elaborate works of art, fashion, and mechanics. If Jules Verne or H.G. Wells were writing their science fiction today, it would be considered “steampunk.” With the Victorian British Empire or American Wild West as the backdrop, steampunk projects are a challenge of making something elegant out of random objects.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its modern technology -powered by steam!</span></div>

However it was a busy December and Christmas in the <a href="http://www.dezigne.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dezigne</a> Shop which left us feeling greatly encouraged. We stocked some fantastic new suppliers such as menswear from <a href="http://www.sauceandbrown.com/" target="_blank">Sauce and Brown</a> and <a href="http://www.snailandrabbit.co.uk/" target="_blank">Snail and Rabbit</a> who supply special blend teas. Consistently popular were Relick Designs (upcyled and recycled) and DaisyCat Designs (handmade greetings cards).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now we are taking a bit of a break in Athens before getting back to some hard work in</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 2015 !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Athens is great for inspiration as many things such as clothing, bags and jewellery are hand-made locally in small workshops and factories. Jewellery designs are eclectic and imaginative. In the city centre there are many shops selling fabrics, beads, haberdashery, yarns, etc - the choice is amazing -we just wish we had the same back in the UK.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have been observing how shops display their goods - the Greeks are really good at this and even in a tiny shop they can create a fantastic look using all available space without it looking cramped.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxq35SYuGq1y-2Ab6ZNUqQHuCaE3TsO2Lj1aCv-tL5T-7d42zN51kmll6zQW015jHwOH6EBP4g7IfIJHmRrUL43umLuatqkNZABC6XMptCjXpENkzkhc21AE1-Ksvgw267BbKZ9wlBPO0/s1600/IMG_8366small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxq35SYuGq1y-2Ab6ZNUqQHuCaE3TsO2Lj1aCv-tL5T-7d42zN51kmll6zQW015jHwOH6EBP4g7IfIJHmRrUL43umLuatqkNZABC6XMptCjXpENkzkhc21AE1-Ksvgw267BbKZ9wlBPO0/s1600/IMG_8366small.jpg" height="320" width="208" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All neighbourhoods have wonderful bakeries and patisseries as the norm with fresh baked breads, amazing cakes, pastries, pies, and sweets - again mostly made on the premises. In the UK these would be classed as 'Artisan Bakeries' but here they are just what is expected. They all stay open late in the evening as the Greeks like to buy gifts to take with them when visiting friends and relatives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Winter in Athens can be cold and wet but at the moment we are enjoying mild, sunny days which are perfect for sight-seeing, walking along the seafront or just meandering around local shopping areas. The Greeks love their coffee and there are plenty of cafes to choose from. You will be served at your table so no waiting in noisy coffee shop queues.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went into the city centre last Saturday and the restaurants and tavernas were packed with people enjoying lunch al fresco. Greek food is wonderful and much underrated - especially if you go to one of the less touristy places.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have many ideas for 2015 and will be introducing some new suppliers to the shop but we still want to achieve a good mix of clothing, accessories, jewellery, lighting and gifts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We can't bring Athens to Nottingham but we can certainly give the shop a more European look and feel.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong, pound stores are great for buying basics such as toilet rolls and cleaning supplies but surely enough is enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a far more positive note we visited the <a href="http://derbyshirechristmasmarket.co.uk/" target="_blank">Christmas Market at Derby Roundhouse</a> and it was absolutely packed - both with visitors and stalls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the event's fifth year and it has certainly grown from three years ago when I went. There are far more exhibitors (about 100) and it has obviously built up a great reputation in the area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The event is organised by <a href="http://www.fabulousplaces.co.uk/" target="_blank">Fabulous Places </a>which seeks out and promotes independent shops, cafes and makers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's great to see that handmade and artisan produce is very much appreciated by the shopping public. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Outside the venue there was a food market and inside a great variety of cakes, artisan breads, locally brewed beers and cheese suppliers as well as jewellery, ceramics, glassware, Christmas decorations, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We didn't get to see everything as the place was so crowded - thankfully not everyone wants to go to Primark and Poundland ! It helps to validate what we are trying to achieve at <a href="http://www.dezigne.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dezigne</a> - there is a market place for unique, handmade, good quality products - made locally!</span><br />

March 2014). This old man around 11am knocks at the door and he said “I built
this place. My name is Thomas William Eaton TWE” pointing at the door. He asked
me to come in and we spent a good hour telling me how he built the place brick
by brick and bolt by bolt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He was working in the lace market in a building on the
second floor doing all sorts of engineering but the landlord there didn’t not
let him do welding so he was going secretly in the night throwing water on the
wooden floors so they do not catch fire and was doing welding. It was hard work
and they could not afford the rent he said so they decided all the family to
get their own unit. They all scraped the bottom of the </span><br />

and bought the Unit at 247 Noel Str. It was just one ground floor unit and only
3 offices and a canteen. The rest was a yard and a garden. Hard to imagine it
now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They didn’t not have tools at the beginning (hmmmm sounds
like us) but work was coming and they started buying machines. They were making
everything engineering using metal. They made almost all the lace making
machines in the Notts area as well as sawing machines, industrial alarms, and
much more.” If you ask around” he said “you will find all out all out fabric
making machines”.</span></div>

I said on this same table I do electronics , he smiled with satisfaction. “Oh

unit and sold it. And here we are out of necessity not being able to find a decent

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Workshop is a non profit unfunded self sustained organisation
and from day one trying to restart and reinvent local micro production,
engineering and fabrication using design, engineering, technology and business
skills and knowledge. The Workshop supports artists and students, hosted many
events and currently houses 7 independent businesses. The Workshop already supports
and wants to grow supporting local fabrication to high street retail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The wood makers just bought 2 machines, all the businesses
in The Workshop just about started going. We want to do much more one of them
is to buy machines to be used by other local makers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Workshop needs to grow and possibly find new premises
since the current ones are sold and most likely we cannot stay. We are looking
for investors that would like to support this social entrepreneurial enterprise
venture.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are so happy we met TWE. A real inspiration to keep The
Workshop going. I own it to him to make it work.<br />

<br />
A recent update by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/maryportas" target="_blank">Mary Portas</a> on the progress of the 'High Street' is also encouraging and makes us feel that we are not alone with what is going to be a difficult task.<br />
I especially like this comment:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">'But what the research today is telling me is that the High Street is also organically healing itself through the simple power of plucky entrepreneurs who, despite all the bleak warnings from so many commentators, give it a go.'</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">'We must must must come up with a new way of managing and promoting the hopes and aspirations of all these people who are so keen to have a go. It’s tough for them, really tough, especially in the first 12 months and they deserve help.'</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<br />
We have loads of ideas for the coming year and there is much to do but with the help and support of our customers and suppliers we can make it!<br />

We had great fun here at <a href="http://www.dezigne.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dezigne</a> preparing for the night. Although I have to admit it was a lot of work but thanks to help from local designers and artists we managed to make it happen.<br />

We decided to make something interesting for the shop, well it was easier said than done. The first string of crystal took us 2 hours to make, after 5 strings we nearly gave up. Eventually after 10 days and experimenting we managed to make a string in 15min and the chandelier was just finished in the morning of light night -it looked stunning !<br />

Having had a chat with local artist Paul Matosic and thinking what else we could make I visited his garage where we sifted through loads of items we came across a box of photographic slides. The slides were of memories and travel experiences from all around the world from one of Paul friend`s dad who is no longer with us.<br />
<br />
The idea came - why don't we make a huge QR code - Retail and Art working together.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUMokVgsI5cuHj9dzalrFOUcKVgDCOX1f6DgiokXxLgLQ2Do7yMiEyhjD0JX8ghvUNGixZTa1lj4_6hvHDnNLQW_7UevBABH9zM9JQKacAYsJ5oRkufp_smziPgGzPKXRI8dP3jyOMKlSL/s1600/IMG_1355.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUMokVgsI5cuHj9dzalrFOUcKVgDCOX1f6DgiokXxLgLQ2Do7yMiEyhjD0JX8ghvUNGixZTa1lj4_6hvHDnNLQW_7UevBABH9zM9JQKacAYsJ5oRkufp_smziPgGzPKXRI8dP3jyOMKlSL/s1600/IMG_1355.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a>So off we went to <a href="http://www.thenottinghamworkshop.com/" target="_blank">The Workshop - Nottingham</a> and started work.<br />
I was a bit worried that it would not look good or interesting and our 3 days work to make it would be wasted - how wrong I was. The QR light sculpture was stopping people in their tracks and they were interacting with it - trying to scan it with their phones, taking photos and spending a lot of time looking at all the photos. Pleasantly surprised. - Interactive Dynamic retailing using Art.<br />

Upstairs in the Coffee bar we had projections from designer and fashion photographer duo <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HueOfTwo" target="_blank">Hue of Two</a>. A fantastic selection of artistic and fashion photos that kept the visitors looking all the time whilst sipping our special brew Machinato coffee and eating a slice of Chloe's home made almond and raspberry cake.<br />

Oh and I had 2 of my LED light sculptures which are on permanent display.<br />

It ended up being a very interesting and buzzy night We felt there needed to be more activities in the area and we wish we could have done even more.<br />
<br />
We will keep working as hard as we can to keep design and art work in our shop. Looking forward to more events like this.<br />
<br />
Finally a massive thank you to The Nottingham City Council and in particular the Arts and Events Department that featured us in their Light Night city trail map.</div>

<br />
After a huge success with the pop-up shop we now have a more permanent spot in Nottingham's creative heart - Hockley.<br />
<br />
The transformation began in November and as well as having all of the beautiful, unique and handmade items, upstairs is home to a coffee shop with the perfect view to watch the world go by!<br />
<br />
Home to all of the gorgeous items you have come to expect from Dezigne, we have a silky smooth blend of freshly brewed coffee waiting for you and a selection of teas to enjoy with a slice of cake, and the opportunity to purchase some beautiful food items for your cupboards such as rosebuds to brew your very own rose tea, lovely honeys, herbs and condiments all direct from Greece.<br />
<br />
Here are some before and afters:<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wow, so much has happened since our last post. We have been busy setting up and opening our new store and coffee bar <a href="http://www.dezigne.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dezigne </a>in the <a href="http://www.creativenottingham.com/" target="_blank">Creative Quarter of Nottingham</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The shop is based on the success of the Pop Up shop that we set up in 2012 - also in the Hockley area of Nottingham. We specialise in handmade and one-off designer items including furniture, lighting, soft furnishings, bags, jewellery, accessories etc. as well as handmade chocolates, preserves, honey and herbs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We mainly stock items from local makers and designers but are constantly on the lookout for new makers from around the UK.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We are inspired by <a href="http://www.liberty.co.uk/" target="_blank">Liberty of London</a> and the many quirky coffee shops in London. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We love Liberty's retail philosophy - ie. being unique, different, independent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">New in the Dezigne shop this week we have some gorgeous vintage and steampunk inspired jewellery by a designer from Stamford in Lincolnshire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

This is great way to have an affordable stay in this wonderful ancient (and modern city) and at the same time get a flavour of life as lived by Athenians.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Apart from the usual attractions Athens has fantastic cafe's , bakeries and street markets. The local town beaches aren't bad either and there are many beach bars and beach clubs along the coastline from Faliro down to Vougliameni.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Faliro itself is well placed for visiting the City Centre, the main port of Piraeus where the ferries take travellers to the islands, the local beaches and marina. </span><br />
