If you are visiting London for the Chelsea Flower Show, or perhaps you just have a free afternoon, you will happy to know that the Flower Show has come to Brompton.  The official opening for the 3 day event is tonight and lasts until Saturday evening.  We look forward to seeing you over the next few days for our exhibition ‘When Things Bloom‘.

Spring Exhibition at Mint

We celebrated the opening of our new spring exhibition on Thursday evening where our guests we treated to a selection of colourful designer delicacies.  Please enjoy this brief selection of images from before and during the opening party.

A Spring Exhibition

10th May – 9th June

This May, Mint will celebrate the oncoming of spring by curating a new exhibition under the much promising title ‘When Things Bloom’. The event will be organised in collaboration with Brompton Design District (BDD), recognised for encouraging design initiatives in the Brompton area.

Tomorrow is the Brompton Design District Press Day, so if you are out checking the Brompton District for design inspiration please pop by Mint and say Hi.  We will be serving up some tasty sandwiches, sweet macaroons and refreshing elderflower cordial !

We hope to seeing you then . . .

We hope you enjoyed the taster of Mint’s ‘A Spatial Surprise’ which was featured in the LDF 2012 video by Suzie Joyce.

If we missed you during LDF then please let us fill you in with our personal video of Mint’s ‘A Spatial Surprise’ by Dan Joyce.

Look out for some familiar faces such as Marcus Fairs, Ben Evans, Rossana Orlandi, Cok De Rooy and of course all of our wonderful designers from this years exhibition at Mint.

We would love to hear from you, so please leave a comment.

We would like to thank everyone who made this years London Design Festival a resounded success.  Our exhibition ‘A Spatial Surprise‘ received one of the best receptions during the Brompton District Private View and the excitement at Mint continued throughout the whole week of LDF.

Here we go again with another video on our blog so soon after the London Design Festival by Susie Hogan. This time, the video is of the Private View of Growing Vases designed by Japanese architectural and design company Nendo for Czech Bohemia Glass company Lasvit.

In case you missed the event, please enjoy this brilliantly made video by Dan Joyce!

This engaging installation will continue to show at Mint until the 31st of October 2011. Please come visit!

For the month of October, Mint is proud to present ‘Growing Vases’ a design lighting installation by Japanese architectural and design studio Nendo for Czech Bohemian glass company Lasvit.

The installation takes on a playful nature exploring the impractical and the incomplete. The metal pipes used by the glass blower remain in the blown glass and are transformed into abstract flowers and branches, alluding to a whimsical glass forest breathing with life.

I cannot believe that the London Design Festival 2011 is over! It seems like just yesterday we were frantically preparing for it. Here’s a little recap of Mint Explores.

I am thrilled to announce that the opening night was a success! With the turn out of approximately 300 people, the night was buzzing with good food, good wine and good cheer.

So here’s a big THANK YOU to everyone who attended and contributed in making the night one to remember.

Autumn is here and once again we are delighted to participate in the London Design Festival. This year, our exhibition titled Mint Explores will be unveiling the mysteries of human perception and how it does not necessarily relate to reality.

Mint Explores will be featuring the inspiring works of 60 carefully selected international artists. Here is a little sneak peek of what is in store for you!
