With over 4,000 entries from 40 countries, the annual red dot design award ranks among the largest design competitions worldwide. The competition is divided into two sections – product design and communication design – which are staged and adjudicated separately. The coveted trophy in both is the red dot, the international seal of quality for outstanding design. The award winning products are displayed online and published in a yearbook.
We can see why today’s item won the 2011 Red Dot Design Award. It’s a kitchen item with a twist… The Callista lemon squeezer is a new product from Blomus, now available at Dennis and McGregor. Blomus products have a knack for being artistic and modern, yet affordable. The designers drew their inspiration for the item from the natural world.

The blomus brand fulfils this aspiration. It represents the exceptional amongst the mundane, the face that stands out in a crowd. In their quest for the remarkable, blomus designers have identified a single inexhaustible source of inspiration: the natural world. Elementary forms, solid materials, authentic radiance – these values can be rediscovered in blomus products in many fascinating ways.
Here at Dennis and McGregor we are always on the look out for unique designer brands to add to our ever increasing collection. Blomus is one of those brands that we would love to add to our collection. Their products are bold and beautiful and we would love to be part promoting this wonderful brand that is Blomus.

“The Big Apple” is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due to a promotional campaign by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau, known now as NYC & Company.
Bold and Noble have once again outdone themselves by creating a type map print of “The Big Apple”. Now on closer inspection we can find all our favourite places in New York. Also available is the A-Z of New York created by Laura Seaby for Keep Calm Gallery

The Oxford dictionary defines inspiration as “The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative”
Over the past year we have built up a relationship with many suppliers who define their business through inspiration. Many of these designers have began around the kitchen table, in old sheds or university hallways almost anywhere where inspiration flowed. The result is nothing short of brilliance.
Bold & Noble, the brainchild of Jane Tobitt and David Wardle, began around the kitchen table. But late nights and family sacrifices finally brought success to what is now known as a leading brand in screen printing industry.
The same goes for Hayley and Lucas Lepola, a husband and wife team who began the Keep Calm Gallery from the hallways of their university. What started with a few prints from the two of them soon grew into a site featuring a wide selection of work from some fantastic artists, designers and print makers.
We too know what it is like to start small and grow as we started in a shed in a back garden and have grown from two to fifteen in just five years.
And so continues so many similar stories of rags to riches. We feel privileged to have these designs and companies as part of our brand collection and look forward to more unique brands to inspire us all.
