Up at Silo, meanwhile, loud hip-hop, jazz and spoken-word poetry plays over doubtlessly ethically sourced speakers. Silo sits in a large, gorgeously lit loft with a large sit-up bar and about 10 tables, and is upstairs from Crate Brewery, where, for reference, you can get a decent pizza and a beer, and no one tells you anything at all. It can be stressful but Sam handled it all.Silo’s charred artichokes: ‘The insides are fudgy, but the skin is bitter and tastes, unsurprisingly, of fire.’ “When you’re working with new natural materials there are a lot of things that are untested and can go wrong. When issues developed on site with some items – as Nina knew could always be the case – Clippings took care of communication with the brand and resolved the issues for her. There’s enough to worry about in the installation phase without worrying if something’s going to turn up on time.” Fast solutions “Having someone else to chase things up is great because you really have to stay on the ball and not let something slip through the net, and otherwise that is time consuming, and boring.” Managed logisticsĪll orders were placed with brands by Clippings on Nina’s behalf, and a member of the Clippings project management team booked and oversaw the logistics.

Her account manager also suggested a brand from the Netherlands who could make cocktail lounge furniture from mycelium, a sustainable material grown from fungus. “Having Sam do all the communication was hugely time-saving throughout every phase.” Product suggestions She could then quickly select furniture, choosing pieces from Danish suppliers in reliably-sourced natural materials. Nina added products to her project board to request quotes and information from multiple brands via her account manager. “As soon as I spoke to Sam about my project it was clear sustainable design is extremely close to his heart and he’s really passionate about it too, so he really threw himself into it.” Sourcing service Nina contacted Clippings and was put in touch with a dedicated account manager, who worked alongside her on the project from start to finish. Why do all the legwork if you don’t have to? An expert helping hand to find the right products quickly Clippings really felt like an extension of my design team.
