Visit to the Saatchi Gallery

As it was the last chance to visit the “50 Years of the Sunday Times Magazine” exhibition, I decided to head down to the Saatchi Gallery and check it out; unfortunately everyone else had the same idea, but I managed to get a few images! They also had a room filled with oil which looked [...]

Landscape_02
Landscape Photographer of the Year 2011

Last weekend I went and checked out the Landscape Photographer of the Year exhibition at the National Theatre, as I’d heard many positive things about it. The imagery there is really quite incredible, I personally never realised just how beautiful the UK could be. It ends this weekend (19th Feb) so if you haven’t been [...]

Top Drawer

Earlier this week I visited the Top Drawer exhibition at Earls Court to admire lots of lovely stationery and gifts. I was amazed at how many little stalls could be packed into there! Each stall had it’s own design and they were all really well thought out, I’ll definitely be checking this one out again [...]

Dale Chihuly

Yesterday I went to visit the Dale Chihuly exhibiton at the Halcyon Gallery, New Bond Street. I was drawn to his work having first seen it at Kew in 2005, and it didn’t fail to impress! Stunning work, everyone should take time out to go and see it on display (it runs until 31st March [...]

World Press Photo 2011

Every year I take a trip to the Southbank Centre to see the World Press Photo – a free exhibition showing the best in photojournalism across the world. Even though some of the images are quite horrific to see, it gives an insight into the reality of what’s happening around the world today. Definitely not [...]

Peer Clahsen 1969 toys

Just came across these toys today at the Bauhaus shop online. Simple, creative and visually impactful – very much like our philosophy here at Branch. Just need an excuse now why I should get them! Check them out here…

Live at the Apollo

Last night, we had a Branch trip to the Hammersmith Apollo to attend a recording of Live at the Apollo. With our priority tickets in hand (the ones that get you to the front of the queue), we proudly walked up to the security guards, bright eyed and with big smiles, only to be crushed [...]

DESIGN-MUSEUM
New Design Museum

Last weekend was Openhouse London, one of my favourite weekends in London. My highlight this year was definitely the former Commonwealth Institute that’s going to accommodate the Design Museum in 2014. Apparently regarded as the second most important modernist building in the UK. (No 1 National Film Theatre, I don’t know where that leaves the Barbican). The [...]

Centre Pompidou

Went for a little weekend trip to Paris and visited the Centre Pompidou. Amazing architecture inside and out of the building which stands out from the rest of Paris. There was also a great collection of modern art & design, but the best thing was the giant photo booth which spits out a black and [...]
