In a past life we earned our living from grapes - we grew them and others turned them into wine.
Back then our year had a comforting cadence and seasons that meant something.
Then came our wild period in the international designer furniture world - days and months merging, senselessly, into one another.
Thankfully, older and wiser our year once again follows the peaceful, pastoral, pattern of old.

Aside from checking up on the latest design related book releases we'll be checking out who uses what furniture, keeping our eyes out for fakes - yes ***** we mean you and your dodgy.... - as well as enjoying the season of readings in the (smow)room Leipzig.
For Buchmesse 2011 the colleagues in the (smow)room have once again organised a varied selection of works. And an interesting red wine to help with the post work relaxation.
The perfect preparation for the forthcoming journey to the fires of hell that is Milan!
