For All Systems Gone there was a mixture of tailored and casual separates in a range of dust and pastel blues, cream, stone and grey with slashes of blood red as highlights. A loosely tailored trenchcoat was worn with rolled up sleeves and double breasted buttoning. Hooding was incorporated into jackets with sporty striped detailing but also featured as snood like accessories. A long coat came with an interesting ruched back, a bit like a waterfall. There was also plenty of men with bare chests – perhaps not a look to emulate but always a rather nice additional feature.

The A & Z Design furniture stand was attracting people with a very cute dog. I liked their senUFO side table the most. It would be very cool in a kid’s bedroom.

Tent London 2012 review -nobody and co
What a brilliant idea for a chair cum bookcase from Italian company Nobody&Co. Obviously inspired by the same problems I have: an overwhelming number of books with no home.

Tent London 2012 review -shell thomas
Tetronimoes by Shell Thomas were created by invitation from JJAM Curators’ Collective – what an ace idea for a kids’ playroom. Visitors were encouraged to use the velcro strips to rearrange the cushions and create new shapes of furniture.

My new favourite new chair comes from the Rex range, straight out of Slovenia. So comfortable, I want this rocker now.
