Gadgets

Cute, scary, stress busting, and functional all at the same time! We were going to a client's post refurbishment party and thought of buying this as a present, then remembered the two little children and took some Champagne instead!

Toys


Apparently white is the new black in cars. Mmm.... we're not convinced, but this little number is a beauty with is futuristic and almost geometric shape. We'd be prepared to match the colour and wear white to drive it!

Fashion

We were researching vortex shapes for a mirror design for a client and came across these! Is it a shoe, a piano or an angel?! They reminded us how fabulous black and silver can look together.


Then we forgot about work and carried on looking at Alexander McQueen creations! We love the way the model's hair echos the peacock heads and the way the feathers are entwined to make the peacocks merge. Ahhhh....Back to work now... a black and white scheme is called for!

Exhibition

We went to the hats exhibition at the V&A recently. Some absolutely wonderful creations on show, which must have been amazing to wear. This one inspires us to mix different materials to create an amazing effect. P.S. Stephen Jones who collaborated on curating the exhibition wasn't shy about choosing his own work!!

Interiors - Nila Design Project

We're so proud of our latest project, we had to share it with you. See more photos on http://www.niladesign.co.uk/project_focus/

Easter


It's Easter and time to indulge in chocolate! We're going for chocolate tasting and drinks at Hotel Chocolat tonight. What a fabulous way to spend an evening! Apart from the taste, we love the stylish design of the chocolates. Who would have guessed pink and yellow go so well with brown?!

Antiquities

As our principal designer is Iranian, we are interested in all things Iranian! This 17th century plate is part of the Shah Abbas exhibition at the British Museum. The depth and intensity of the blue is breathtaking. We'll be searching high and low to match this colour.
