CDW 2022 Round Up

CDW was back with a bang this week.

Spread over 3 days in Clerkenwell it’s THE Design and Build event of the year. Returning in full force, after the disruption of the past few years, there were product launches and exhibitions around every corner, and something to suit all tastes and all settings.

The Blue Jelly team headed in last week and after the initial excitement, the design team selected their favourite finds of the day.

Deadgood ltd showroom

1. Deadgood Ltd is now producing furniture that can be easily refinished or re-upholstered to extend its useable lifespan. Ben, one of our Senior Designers, loved this as we continually increase the proportion of sustainable products in each new project. https://www.deadgoodltd.co.uk/ 

Icons of Denmark

 

2. Icons of Denmark have a fabulous new multi-floor showroom space. Its mission is to ‘enrich people’s lives at work’ through its furniture.  Scott, our Creative Director, loves the timeless simplicity and beautiful detailing of their product portfolio. It focuses on the end-user experience without any compromise on style!  https://www.iconsofdenmark.dk/

 

Planq ‘marble worktop’

 

3. Plan Q was founded by twin brothers in Holland, they make furniture from sustainable materials only. We are loving these tabletops made from recycled clothing.  This will be going into some of our upcoming projects, watch this space! https://www.planqproducts.com/table-tops

 

 

Camira fabric

4. Next up we have a Camira fabric that is made from plastic sea waste – we are specifying this in some of our projects, not only because it’s good for the environment, but because it looks great, and coming from Camira you know it will be great quality too. Check out the Seaqual range here https://www.camirafabrics.com/en/inspiration/the-seaqual-collection

 

 

Outside Pod

5. Finally, we were quite taken with the range of super cool meeting pods available from the aptly named ‘The Meeting Pod Company’. Their range of outdoor meeting pods brings a whole meaning to bringing the outside in. See more here https://www.themeetingpod.co.uk/outdoor-pod/

Project complete!

ARA Venn, a specialist investment management firm focused on European residential strategies, needed to create a new workplace that would sustain their growing business for the coming decade. They were looking for a solution that would maximise the floorplan of their 4,500 sq ft space in the heart of Soho, with an accelerated timeline. Key to the brief was developing a flexible space to support the team with a large breakout area for them to recharge.

Clerkenwell Design Week did not disappoint. Our design team took to the streets of Clerkenwell to catch up with our wonderful furniture, finishes and flooring suppliers. On top of this, they made the most of the experience by attending thought leadership seminars on demystifying sustainability, colour and behaviour, artificial intelligence in architecture and inclusive design.

Re-introducing Blue Jelly.

Our brand has been evolving and developing for 21 years. But, we knew our look needed to be refreshed. It needed to represent who we are as a business and to celebrate our ambition and passion for our future.

Our new logo is a visual representation of who we are. It’s classic yet bold. Timeless and elegant. Custom made and skillfully designed. It symbolises our two greatest assets coming together: Blue – our process and Jelly – our people. It’s designed with our core values in mind, it’s a powerful symbol of who we are.

Last week our team collected mince pies, Christmas puddings, selection boxes, crackers, boxes of chocolate and stuffing & gravy for @windsorfoodshare to give out this Christmas. Well done team Blue Jelly!

This is our recently completed project to build a 6,000 Sqft flagship office for a Marlow based, global audio and sound experience company.

The brief was to create a modern, flexible workplace for their team whilst providing unique, top-of-the-line customer experience spaces for product demonstrations. Our team created bespoke joinery solutions to enable interchangeable product placement to suit differing customer needs.

Introducing @energyaspects at @cargo.london, Canary Wharf. Ben Lark, Senior Designer has created a space that flows with curved ceiling lighting, biophilic design, clean lines, premium furniture and subtle, brand-led wall art. Working alongside the team at @coreprojectservices on this project was delightful, as always.

Congratulations to the Blue Jelly team for cycling 700km in 24 hours to raise vital funds for @oceanconservationtrust. The aim was to cycle the distance Eton to Epernay, 544km. We completed this distance by 6am and decided to push onward and see how far we could go. This year we aim to raise £20,000 for Ocean Conservation Trust.

A glorious sunny day @ascotracecourse for Royal Ascot ☀️🍾🥂

Thank you to our brilliant supplier, Proform Interiors, for inviting our team along for a brilliant day out.

An inspirational design that creates a luxury, members club look and encourages collaboration. Alliots’ new office is set within a beautiful building in the heart of Covent Garden. High-quality fabrics, curved lines and beautiful lighting pieces frame the distinctive, open plan spaces.

Our two year partnership with @oceanconservationtrust will help protect and revitalise the natural habitats of our Oceans. We’ll be raising funds for the Blue Meadows initiative which is actively restoring and protecting the oxygen producing seagrass fields in our Oceans. #ThinkOcean #ESG #OceanConservationTrust
