This week we’re celebrating, with FLOOR_STORY, Aram and Fritz Hansen all marking significant milestone

Award winning East London rug dealer FLOOR_STORY has launched 10×10, a celebration of 10 years of collaborating with leading designers from the world of art, craft and fashion. The series of 10 rugs sees new editions from ongoing collaborations with Henry Holland, Camille Walala, Adam Nathaniel Furman, Kitty Joseph (shown above), 2LG, John Booth, Gill Thorpe, Flock Studio and Diane Bresson.

FLOOR_STORY which has recently been given BCorp status, is renowned for designing and producing bold and colourful rugs. The process of working with external creatives began in 2014 following a collaboration with print and pattern expert Kangan Arora.

In celebration of its 80th anniversary, Fritz Hansen has released an exclusive edition of the China Chair by Hans J. Wegner. The China Chair has been in continuous production since 1944 and this latest edition is in oiled European cherry with a Pure leather seat cushion.

Wegner designed the first China Chair on a commission from Fritz Hansen to create affordable furniture that could be easily produced at a time when materials were scarce. His response, inspired by an 18th century Chinese chair, was neither low cost nor easily made. But with the organic curve of its back and light frame, it received accolades when it was shown in the Spring exhibition of the School of Arts and Crafts and has been recognised as a classic example of modern Danish design eversince.

Aram has also been in a celebratory mood. The furniture retailer has a new gallery space at its renowned Covent Garden store, which originally opened in 1964, and to mark this 60th anniversary milestone the company has also produced a special edition Wassily chair. This Marcel Breuer classic was the first piece Zeev Aram sold when his store opened. The latest version is in black canvas and Aram has produced just 24 chairs (for 2024) each imprinted with an ARAM 60 2024 stamp.

MissPrint’s new neon Octopus Ombre wallpaper has been digitally printed using a two-tone effect. Available in three colours – coral/umber, blue/green and hot pink/orange the wallpaper is produced in the UK from a design created by co-founder Rebecca Drury.

Studio Atkinson has introduced its Greek Key mirror in six new colourways including forest green, ebonised and wine. Each mirror is Individually made by hand in the UK in standard 40x80cm size, custom sizes are also available. The new colours offer a contemporary interpretation on a traditional design and add a simple yet decorative touch to interiors.

British design studio Yarn Collective has launched a compilation of eight new interior textiles. Crafted from natural fibres, the collection offers a capsule range of plain, semi-plains, sheers and weaves, while the colour palette blends neutral tones with rich earthy accents in shades reminiscent of the raw, organic pigments and dyes found in nature, such as sienna, umber, and terracotta.
