Beton Series Anja is a ceramic artist from Slovenia who has been honing her skill since the age of six. The Beton (Concrete) Series happened as a happy accident and it is a slight departure from Anja’s organic and somewhat feminine style. Each piece is individually shaped and fired in Anja’s studio in Ljubljana.

Leggs Vessles Leggs is the first product line that defines an approach and methods used by the Oblique collective. The concept is based on the transformation of an already existing packaging, which allows the distinctiveness and uniqueness of the product in the final version.

Oblique is a collective of three Slovenian designers that came together with the same passion for designing and creating in the broad field of contemporary ceramics. www.oblique.si

NOTES FOR EDITOR modern + abstract + unisex furnishings and accessories Room39 is the brainchild of London based fashion and textile designer Petra Green.

After graduating from University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) in 1998 , Petra worked for a number of years as fashion and lingerie designer both in her home county Slovenia and UK. With the lifestyle overhaul of becoming a parent, her focus turned to home-life and as a designer, to home-decor. Petra launched Room39 in December 2010.

Room39 is a space inhabited by a particular brand of aesthetic with a distinctive preference for bold abstract patterns, bright colours and glamorous accents. We are dedicated to creating playful, modern furnishings and accessories with subtle retro undertones, bringing to market a more democratic design that would appeal to men and women alike.

Room39 products are manufactured in either UK or Slovenia and the materials we use are of European origin. We also collaborate with British and Slovenian designers and artisans, working as far as possible in a sustainable way in marrying craft techniques and modern technology.

Since our debut, Room39 products caught the attention of influential publications like Elle Decor - picking our Technicolour and Kisshions cushions for their Approved selection for two years in a row - LivingEtc, Mollie Makes, House Beautiful, Ideal Home, Deco Home, Sunday Times Home supplement and Financial Times How To Spend It, but to name a few. We have also been featured in some of the top international interior and design blogs like Design Milk, Design*Sponge, Bright Bazar, Bloesem, Pattern and Print, Plenty of Colour, Homegirl London, Happy Interior Blog and Confessions Of A Design Geek.
