I didn’t get great pics of the Threadcount Collective stand at the Design Indaba Expo, as the lights are low and there are a squillion people milling about, but I managed this one, which should give you an idea of the little 2 x 2m salon we managed to pull off with framed fabric from …

Name dropper
I must admit to feeling a bit crass doing this, but it did happen, and doesn’t happen every day, so I’m going ahead with the name dropping, because last night I had dinner with… Yup, Mr Tord Boontje came to dinner with the ELLE Decoration editorial team at our editor Laureen Rousseau’s exquisite Mutual Heights …
