"Being an official Design Partner of Shoreditch Design Week gave us the perfect platform to debut the Luminaire Design Series. Luminaire reimagines an icon through light, material and texture, so it belonged in front of the design press, tastemakers and creators who shape how people live with design. Bree and the team were brilliant partners, and the newsletter, ICON feature and social support put Luminaire in front of exactly the audience we wanted to reach."

"Bringing the frank green Chrome Cafe to life with Shoreditch Design Week during London Design Festival was a great way to showcase our latest Chrome Collection alongside some brilliant exhibitors as part of House of ICON.

A few days celebrating coffee, design and live personalisation, with each exhibitor receiving a frank green reusable cup to use throughout the festival and beyond. A big thank you to the Shoreditch Design Week team for being so great to work with and helping bring it all together!"
