DALER-ROWNEY

For almost 240 years Daler-Rowney have manufactured some of the finest art materials. They aim to provide the space for everyone to be creative in a way that is inspiring, accessible, inclusive, and innovative. The Daler Board Company purchased the George Rowney Company in 1983 to become Daler-Rowney Limited, as it's known today. In their own specialist areas of manufacture, both companies led the development of fine artists' materials in the United Kingdom for many years. The combined heritage of both companies and the Daler-Rowney name has become synonymous with consistent quality to artists throughout the world. All of their colours have been made in England since 1783. 

JÄGERMEISTER

Historically Jägermeister was surrounded by nature in the lower saxton town of Wolfenbuttel. It was Wilhelm Mast's son Curt who took the family business, originally a vinegar factory and wine shop, in a completely different direction.It took him several years to perfect the Jägermeister recipe but soon enough, over 80 years ago the Jägermeister herbal liqueur as we know it today was launched on the German market.

Made from the 56 natural ingredients made from the highest-grade herbs, roots, blossoms and spices from around the globe. Jägermeister is carefully crafted into 4 distinct macerates, then combined in modern-day alchemy into our herbal spirit. The full ingredient list is a closely guarded secret, but raise a glass to your lips and you’ll taste all 4 corners of the world. 

As quoted by Jägermeister, the music may change, the clothes may change, but every generation has its irreverent perfectionists. From humble house parties to global gatherings, Jägermeister is still embraced by those who push the boundaries and rewrite the rules in every field. Long may it continue…

THE KENSINGTON BUILDING

At The Kensington Building, AshbyCapital has created an inspiring place to work in one of London’s most sustainable office buildings. A tired and bleak five-storey 1970s former department store has been transformed into a seven-storey mixed-use building providing next-generation office space, demonstrating how buildings can be reused and repurposed, rather than demolished and built anew. By reusing and repurposing more than 60% of the original structure and foundations, 30% less embodied carbon has been created versus industry benchmarks. This has saved 4,500 tonnes of CO2 and resulted in 500 fewer concrete truck journeys and 7,000 fewer tonnes of waste. Of the demolition and excavation waste created, 100% has been diverted from landfill, alongside 99% of construction waste, while 100% of the building’s electricity comes from carbon neutral sources.

ASHBY CAPITAL

Throughout design, construction and occupation our buildings are market leaders in sustainability. Diverting construction waste from landfill, repurposing existing structures, facilitating carbon-zero commuting, generating on-site renewable energy and establishing biodiverse habitats are a handful of the ways that demonstrate our commitment. Our assets include the highest rated BREEAM building in the UK for The JJ Mack Building and the UK’s first Platinum AirRated building for The Future Works in Slough, while at One Bartholomew in London our smart building program saved 70 tonnes of CO2 in 2023.

NICOLAS VAVASSORI

Nicolas Vavassori, is a contemporary jewellery designer and was born in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. VIN + OMI have collaborated with him on this show and we are proud to show his wonderful work on our catwalk 

From an early age Nicolas was always discovering and creating. Vavassori has a diploma as a master of art and industrial design. “I find myself behind a desk pondering things, at a certain point I question if they are needed… ‘there are more chairs than arses’ as said by Bruno Munari, becomes my flag.”   DOGMA is Vavassori’s jewellery collection, and it was born with experimentation, the search for a form, through the most diverse crafts and artistic techniques. Simple, often worthless objects and materials are moulded to become wearable sculptures. Recovered objects, whether industrial waste or worthless natural elements are recontextualised and transformed, creating new visions. Each piece is unique, not reproducible.

KARMA DRINKS

We’re just another soft drink company trying to make as much money as possible… Because the more money we make, the more good we can do. We know that taking action makes a difference.

Our mission is to become the world’s most ethical soft drink, so to hold us accountable, we established The Karma Foundation. 1% of revenue from every Karma Drink sold goes to our Cola nut growers and their communities in Sierra Leone. The Foundation guarantees the funds raised help drive economic and social independence. The range is made up of all your household favourites, with a Karma twist.
