Throughout
this summer we have been invited to a number of high profile exhibitions and
events
At
our workshop exhibition during
the annual Oxfordshire Artweeks you can see our latest designs
and work in progress which include the main discussion table, chairs and lecterns
for all the stages for the upcoming Hay
Literary Festival 2008 (22 May – 1 June).

US President Jimmy Carter in discussion with Philippe Sands at the Hay
Literary Festival on our 'Hay' chairs made in North American red oak
Following this showcasing
of our furniture at Hay we will be exhibiting at Art
in Action (Waterperry House, Oxford, 17
- 20 July)
in the sculpture section where we are collaborating with Jekka
McVicar (crowned the ‘queen
of herbs’ by Jamie Oliver) and sundial designer-maker Joanna
Migdal and sculptor Jeremy
James to create a beautiful herb garden. We will also be demonstrating
how we use locally sourced timber to make our sculptural furniture for home
and garden. Over 200 other artists and crafts people will also be demonstrating
their work at Art in Action.

of Craftsmanship annual exhibition (16 - 25 August) where 70
other furniture designer-makers will also be exhibiting.
For the first time we will be at Decorex,
the London interior design exhibition (21 - 24 September). We are sharing
a stand with nine other furniture designer-makers who are also featured in
the beautifully produced book Bespoke, the publication
on bespoke furniture by Betty Norbury.
Philip has also been invited to lecture at the British Interior Design
Association in May and at a conference in Ho Chi Min City,
Vietnam and at Bangkok University in June.
