Megan's Milan press pack

Megan Morton's press kit stash from Milan - love the bronzey coloured Tom Dixon bag..!

If I were a real journalist, I'm sure press kit fodder wouldn't excite me much. But because I usually have to resort to sneaking my camera around and taking photos at trade fairs/shops/showrooms somewhat illegally, the idea of a press kit filled with great photos and endless eye-candy at my disposal seems so luxurious!

The super-fabulous Megan Morton (Megan is currently my most favourite person in the whole world - did you notice?) was generous enough to loan me her Milan press-kit paraphernalia for a few days last week whilst she was in town... so I could share all her goodies with you! She hadn't even had a chance to look through it herself before handing it over for me to scan/copy to my heart's content. How nice is that?

So here we have some of the contents of Megan's gorgeous Tom Dixon metallic totebag. The Jaime Hayon for Baccarat catalogue is too perfect for words. The product, the photos, the colour palette, the layout. Ridiculous super-wonderful.

Baccarat catalogue cover with translucent red overlay. Love it!

Jaime wistfully dreaming up his next creation... hee!

I just can't get enough of Jaime's naive hand-drawn designs..! Why do I love them so much?!


Pagespreads - sorry not the best quality. Daylight savings is no good for blogging!

One of the other gorgeous things Megan picked up was this little wallpaper CD wallet from 39.22 - a new design collective founded and supported by Greek design company CARTECO. 'STREET COLOURS' is 39.22's first range of wallpaper, inspired by the streets of Athens. 39.22. has sourced the street artists of Athens and invited them to create a series of unique wallpapers. Clever clever.

Fabulous original patterns and gorgeous 'sludgy' colours (as Megan would say)! Love the promo video too.







Maison Martin Margiela's white-on-white approach extended to their promo material... a precious little document encased in a flat linen envelope, slightly frayed at the top, and stamped with MMM's 2009 theme - 'Mat, Satine, Brilliant'. Classic and clean, with enough texture/detail to grab attention and encourage the journos to hold onto this keepsake, rather than discard it once they've penned their reviews!


Dedon's promotional material has some nice shots of their weaving in action... these designs are for the gorgeous Riviera Lounger Megan mentioned here.


Ok that's all. No more Milan I promise :)
