Milan Design Week
Forget Me Not designs will be on display during the Milan Design Week, Salone del Mobile, including at We Are Social Animals, a show organised by Meet My Projet, Artisanal Milano and a prestigious hotel venue. On this occasion, Forget Me Not will be showcasing its unique print concepts and patterns, designed for a large variety of surfaces and situations. Exhibits will feature its latest print products as well as the studio’s most recent range of design accessories including cushions, wallpapers, lamps and a bold new room divider, complete with a metal structure and surfaces made of Jesmonite – the iconic British made acrylic-modified gypsum composite that is making a big come back. Its malleable qualities and slightly mineral, clay-like texture made it an obvious choice as the key material in the range.
Forget Me Not is a design studio specialised in prints conception for the fashion, design and interior industries. It was founded by house designer Coco who, after studying fine arts in Paris and forging a successful career as an artistic director, went on to create Forget Me Not to share her love for print. After taking on fashion with her signature style mixing an array of traditional and digital techniques, she decided to fuse her passion for design and her background in art and product design to explore the great tradition of print through innovative pieces and strong style statements presented in a wide array of formats.
All things design
The Forget Me Not concept is driven by a design philosophy where a mix of traditional techniques and innovative technology is used to give shape to ideas that feel at home in a cosy interior just as well as in a high-end exhibition space. On top of its flagship fashion collections, the studio is today busy developing its own range of design accessories, exploring new materials to create new dual prints which may be used both in their own functional right and as decorative display.
For this show scenography and furniture range Forget Me Not teamed up with partner Anna Sbiera-Paléologue – a designer/art director responsible for the sets for various fashion/luxury installations and events in London and Paris The furniture was developed with Anna Oldham-Cooper, a London-based joiner and set builder.
The wallpaper range was developed with Mues Design, a French company based in Paris.
The shades have been developed with Lights of London, renowned for its high-end bespoke drum-shaped lamp shades
