As much as we love our classic designer furniture, we have to confess to one foot firmly in the craft camp (bear with us...). Whether it's that winter is upon us and we're thinking about trading starkness for comfy homes or just that in unsettled times we enjoy that warm, nostalgic feeling that homespun brings, craft is definitely having a moment... |

Feel like joining us on our cosy adventure (ENOUGH already, we know!)? Somerset House becomes craft central from today with the opening of Origin which sells the work of leading designer-makers from around the globe. But forget about naff knitted toilet roll dolls and think quirky wire bird ornaments, interesting jewellery and gorgeous ceramics. Worth checking out is this year's Springboard spin-off
which introduces the next new names to watch - we've taken a liking
to the witty wallpapers of Lizzie Allen whose hand-screen prints celebrate
London living. |

But we won't be losing our sleek lines all together. In conjunction with the show, Ruth Aram has hand-picked her favourite ten pieces and mixed them with iconic furniture throughout her store proving that even if your home is contemporary - craft works! And if you want to try and make the look yourself, Designer Courses in Holborn are running a series of courses, including wallpaper printing, and handbag design. CRAFT ON! Origin
