Frankfurt to Come Alive with Decorate Life

This July, for the first time ever, three fairs come together to make Decorate Life â€“ covering everything to do with the home and furnishing in design.

May 2nd, 2008

Occupying the whole of Frankfurt’s Exhibition Centre, Decorate Life brings together Tendence, Collectione and The Design Annual to provide a dizzying array of furniture, home accessories, home textiles, garden furniture, tableware and gifts.

Tendence Autum + Winter provides all-new products for the autumn and Christmas season – in addition to being a design event, Tendence is at the forefront of innovation, trends and ideas. A new part of Tendence is Young Living which will look particularly at products for young people.

Collectione is the launching ground for all new products for Spring and Summer 2009, with new segment Outdoor Living providing a range of solutions for the garden.

The Design Annual is a curated showcase of high-grade design, each year with a different theme. This year’s Design Annual will include an installation by experimental artist Tobias Rehberger and will be under the theme inside: showtime.

Indesign Group’s Penny Craswell will be attending Decorate Life this year, which will run from 4 – 8 July, so stay tuned for coverage post-fair.

OASIS :: Studio Lotus balances nature with the man-made.

Deep in an Indian forest beside a tranquil lake, the RAAS Chhatrasagar creates its own magic. Designed by Studio Lotus, the property is a perfect place for people who understand that design can both enhance and complement the natural world.

Situated within 800 acres of pristine forest aside the Chhatrasagar Lake, RAAS Chhatrasagar is a holiday destination that satisfies on every level. The project is designed by New Dehli firm, @studio_lotus, with Ambrish Arora as lead and his team. Together the team has created a veritable paradise for visitors that is both sensitive to place and sympathetic to the history of the site, finding that sweet spot, where nature and the man-made can co-exist and flourish.
