Glimpse Trend Hunter

Bubble Chair Bliss

Luxury online! - The stuff dreams are made of, or made whilst sleeping in! Inspired by its original maker, Eero Aarino who first produced the bubble chair in the 60's, is the Wagiman by Ben Rousseau. One of GlimpseOnline's most prolific contemporary furniture designers, Ben is causing a storm in the world of furniture design. His Wagiman chair is exquisite, lit up with blue LED lighting for a dreamtastic ethereal experience.


Monochrome Table Lamps

GlimspeOnline designer Sono Design are leaders in their field when it comes to contemporary lighting solutions, and as black and white is a trend that never leaves interior design trend bibles, these ones are perfect. Instead of buying one from Heals that lots of people have (like the ones below, get a limited edition from Sono Design for around the same price!


Circle print cushions

Cushions are probably the best and easiest way to add a bit of colour and pizzazz to a sofa, chair or bed for those of you who prefer the conservative side of decoration. We found this one at John Lewis for £30 or GlimpseOnline.com designer Louise Rowley has done this fabulous butterfly adorned one for only £20, AND it's one of a kind.
Dragonfly Decadence

Ceramics, like jewellery and accessories go through pockets of time where one animal, bird or insect will adorn them in the masses. We detect a dragonfly settling on lots of objects at the moment and at the most delightfully cheap prices are Joanna London's plates for only £12 each. Or try UKpottery's elaborate delicate version, - but considering the price we don't think you'd want to eat from it, a cool £160!

Two Coaster Comfort
Striped homeware NEVER goes out of fashion, and we think it's because it brightens up any table. You can find this stripy number in a set of 4 from John Lewis, or this one (of a set of four) from GlimpseOnline's Ruth Shelley handmade for £18. This deigner's glassware is absolutely stunning.

Heart Cufflinks for Ladies

Its not just the Men who are adorning their power suits with statement cufflinks now! We found these black ones from website Wheesh.com but check out the mirrored sparkling alternative from Glimpse designer Natalie Scott for £119 in 925 silver and rodium plated - stunning!

Chair Champions

What big name Skadium offers in the way of Asphund's stacking chairs, Robyn Notley does just as well with these 'Add it On' chairs, available in an array of colour combo's starting from £800.
Champagne Silk for Champagne Breakfasts

What better way to dress for a Sunday morning's champagne breakfast? Or a breakfast any day of the week for that matter! Elle McPherson Intimates do this knee- length dressing gown, or for a proper kimono version, And God created Woman have come up with this luxurious number for £225. Also available in black and white.


Bird Adorned Lampshades

Take a look at Massey and Rogers Urban Garden lampshade, characteristic of their defined and original style with their signature cute birds! £55. Graham and Greene sell a black version with an elegant bird from wallpaper print by Cole & Sons for £63.
Wear it to your heart's content

Lola Rose has designed this gorgeous blue lace agate polished semi precious heart pendant, available from treasure trove website treasurebox.co.uk. GlimpseOnline's Selma Stagg is thinking along the same lines with her porcelain pendant in ivory, hand-made, with a sterling silver clasp.



Glassful of colour

Gino Cenedese is renowned for his glassware, started in 1947 and available from Liberty for a cool £595. Ruth Shelley works glass into her own multi-coloured ideas, this one available at £150


Beano beautiful: in Art and in Design

Justine Smith is an artist who uses comic book pictures to make life-size dog sculptures. This one's called 'Duke'. The comic book also serves Adam Layhe's functional piece of Design in the form of this glass table, £ 3000 made to order.



Time Will Tell....

Check out the George clock by Arris Design at SCP that makes clever use of negative design. Or take a look at GlimpseOnline's Sono Design, who have made an original timepiece i mild stainless steel that looks like it could peel off the wall. Clocks that are functional withot losing their contemporary design appeal.



Floral Fun for your Money

Check out Cath Kidson's classic PVC floral purse for £10 and GlimpseOnline's Sarah Bayley's hand-stitch embroidered cotton version for £39.95 Flying the GB flag... just in time for the Olympics!

GlimpseOnline'sBeauvamp does what Beauvamp does best - breathing new life into old furniture: Antique carver chair in navy blue and metallic silver, £400. Jimmie Martindoes a very similar thing, made to order. Eco-design: Furniture re-vamped

Squint in Shoreditch, London sells some of the most colourful furniture we've seen, and is reupholstered with reclaimed materials. Lucy Renshaw's hybrid lamp chair utilises the same process, £700. Check out GlimpseOnline's Furniture Revitalise service for an idea of how you can revamp your old furniture and be contributing towards an Eco-friendly living environment Feather Fever
Peacock feathers have hit new heights of popularity - we've seen them on jewellery, printed on tops and now on cushions. Not only does GlimpseOnline's Zedhead Designs do them on cushions but also on lampshades. We also love the simple fresh design Liberty has done, complete with embroidered stitching detail. The Budgie and the Bunny
Animal jewellery is the new trend hitting the shops - and as TATTY DEVINE and ME ME ME at GlimpseOnline.com show, the cuter the better! GLASS with a Colour Blast

Tom Dixon's wire lamps are made from copper plated and black powder-coated steel with white or indigo laminated cotton shade. Follwoing the same angular effect iusing powder coated steel is Mark Irlam's chair. ( A nice pairing for a contemporary home. Roaring Hot 15/05/08
Animal print kaftans are the perfect cover up for the beach or poolside that exudes 70s glamour whilst maintaining your modesty.

Heals and Claire de Lune 15/04/08
Heals creates a fantastic centrepiece for any ceiling with this transparent glass chandelier and Claire de Lune is quick to pick up on these themes, with fantastic shapes that rebound of the walls of any room. Perfect for any contemporary living space.



Inside? Outside? 02/04/08
Wallpaper.com says that “blurring the boundary between outdoor and indoor furniture” is set to be one of this year’s key trends, and like John Houshmand, who is making waves with his White Brick Club chair, we think GlimpseOnline's Nick Melville’s Paddy Chair is a fine solution for outdoor/indoor environments.



Sass & Bide and Sofia Lopez 29/03/08
Sass & Bide for their A/W 2008 collection has honed in on the gold and black trend in angular forms and shimmering fabric. Sofia Lopez adds the same influence to her collection, contrasting it with waves of egg blue in a full skirt.
