Six cities - design festival
Six cities - design festival
17 May - 3 June 2007
The six cities of Scotland - Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Stirling—will host the country’s first nationwide international design festival, promoting and celebrating Scottish design.
The Festival presents an imaginative programme of exhibitions, events, keynote speakers, talks, tours and more, taking place alongside two major continuing programmes - Design into Business and Learning.
The Festival’s national exhibition - The Scottish Show 07 - is the most important expo of Scottish design ever, opening at The Lighthouse on 17 May.
Design into Business is a programme for the business community and designers alike. The programme will demonstrate how good design is good business and will include master classes, online resources, case studies and international initiatives, culminating in a major design conference.
The Learning programme focuses on education and design communities, to encourage innovation, business knowledge, creative entrepreneurship, talent incubation and talent retention. It will play a major role in connecting educational bodies with the design industry.

Julianna Grove’s first post
Welcome to musings from the mind of Julianna Grove.
I am interested in creativity, imagination, beautiful things, interior design, original thoughts, green issues and fair trade.
I believe ~
~that beauty and elegance is still possible when working with an ecological focus
~that it should be possible to make a living without damaging other people or the environment
~in voting with my wallet – shop with independent retailers, buy local produce, support independent designers, boycott brands and shops whose policies are unethical – make a difference every day.
Julianna Grove Presents is my online boutique full of original and beautiful gifts and home-ware, each product has been handcrafted by the designer. In an age of increasing uniformity I aim to present an alternative to the soulless tide of mass produced merchandise. No two products are identical, no factories or cheap labour are used and no one makes a huge profit at the expense of anyone else.
