Highlights from the Spring Vegetable Garden

Posted by Jim Parker

Here Oliver Hrubiak was awarded the Young Designer of the year award, for his unique chair design. Today, Oliver has written us a blog about his trip to the Ideal Home Show, on a quest for innovative new design.

Although this was my first visit to the Ideal Home Show, I’d visited several other similar trade shows in the past year and unsurprisingly the Ideal Home Show brought together the same faces and predictable products. But I was on the hunt for something new and exciting.

After passing several solid oak furniture stands and countless vegetable peeler demonstrations, I finally stumbled across My Funky. An emerging company exhibiting for the first time, their stand, vibrant and fresh, was full of brightly coloured steel lockers. A
