Over the past few weeks we have shown you some of the best Christmas schemes in the world.  We also know that you often wonder where some of these retailers buy their props to make their schemes look so amazing as we often receive emails for readers asking us where they can buy exciting bits all year round.  From special occasions to grand events and a design service where your ideas can be realised from concept to completion.  Look no further than DZD here in London.  The shimmery textured garlands entwined with antique baubles at East, snow covered bejeweled Christmas trees at Fortnum and Mason to the fantastic coloured pine cones, acorns and foil spirals at Harvey Nichols.  If you need them then DZD will find them.  Go and check out these guys at http://www.dzd.co.uk

Can you believe that DZD has already been around for 25 years?  Neither can we..! The much loved guys here are celebrating their anniversary this year and held a fantastic breakfast celebration last week, not only to celebrate the company and their achievements but also more thoughtfully and sensitvely in honour and memory of their founder Mark Gosen who sadly passed away last year.  In conjunction with the event the team raised funds for the Macmillan cancer care trust as well as entertaining their enormously varied clientele.  Who hasn't bought at least one thing from this brand as their products really are the bedrock of our industry,  and thank goodness always here and always producing the kind of products that you can find no where else.  In case you didn't know DZD also have an amazing bespoke service too.  We always leave these guys' showroom and studios absolutely aching from laughter as they are such enormous fun to be with; ferociously quick witted and incredibly warm with it.  If you have an idea for a new concept (or not) or gearing up for this seasons events then just click on any of the images here and have a look at their brand spanking new website which looks incredible and see how these guys can help you.

With the VM and Display show looming we have another little taster of what you will be able to see from our good friends at DZD.  Their emphasis this year is on recycled materials. Everything will be made from recycled materials, newspaper, bottle tops, magazines…..stitched, rolled, folded, pleated and woven into garlands, wreaths, objects, stars and spheres. They are really working hard to show you how creative you can actually be with recycled materials.  In some of the images here we can see free standing 3D letters (spelling DZD) and some origami birds fashioned and folded from the Financial Times newspaper.

London Retail VM and Display Show Exhibitors 2010, DZD Bespoke Sales Director: Colin Hudson

Have you ever felt drained of inspiration? All too often I find working with large companies creatively draining. From my own experience of large companies, they drain and drain one of ideas and concepts and give us little, if any time to replenish and update our knowledge and enable the development of ideas which are informed and interesting too. Well, did you know that DZD (situated adjacent to Warren st. tube station here in London) now have a bespoke service which can help you overcome that creative fatigue? Big players within the industry need big results and there is nothing worse that having to work in isolation not really knowing if your high profile concept in that enormous flagship is going to work. The process of experimentation, play, testing and trying is a crucial part of concept development and there are few places available for us to go where we are able to work with a team to bounce ideas around, tap into the expertise of a team who are able to produce props in house (which is particularly cool) and enable you to realise your vision - and lets be honest we're only as good as our last job, so we had better make sure that the next one is spectacular too. With a guaranteed one to one guidance through your project DZD will come with you on your journey from initial concept development, realising your concept and make you look good. What more could you ask for? Do drop by the DZD stand next week and have a chat to Colin Hudson and the team. Colin and Sonya work very much in collaboration in supporting their clients and with years of experience between them you can be sure that what you want is delivered, and it will be spectacular too. So what are you waiting for?
