Bridport: Artist and designer bring their pop-up shop to Felicity's Farm Shop

A pop-up shop of refurbished furniture is coming to Felicity's Farm Shop this weekend.

DD&B Interiors, a collaboration between traditional upholsterer Carol Brown and designer Karen Durham-Diggins, will be launching a new collection of chairs, ottomans and other pieces and accessories.

For the first time, their pop-up shop will be in the car park at Felicity's Farm Shop in Morcombelake as part of the Great Big Green Week.

Karen said: "We take some very sad furniture and restore it into fresh, repurposed, useful and beautiful pieces of furniture, all with the DD&B Interiors distinctive style. It's a great pleasure using our imaginations and time to save a piece which would often end up in landfill."

DD&B Interiors are committed to repurposing furniture and trying to be as environmentally aware as possible.

"Since starting the business, we often get approached by local people who have a beautiful shaped chair with a good frame that needs a lot of work," Karen added. "Usually, they no longer have room for or need it. They would rather give it to us than dump it and see it move on to have a renewed life in another home. We always give a donation to a charity of their choice.

"Our choice of fabrics is also important, some are not only repurposed threads rewoven into new fabrics, or vintage fabrics but some have already won awards.

Carol said: "We prefer to use fabrics that will do their job and wear well and are sustainable as possible within fire safety laws. We can reuse some padding that uses natural fibres too."

Their repurposed and upholstered furniture is reimagined in designer fabrics, using themes for each curated collection. This collection, Inspired by Nature, boasts colours, textures and vibrance inspired by leaves, flowers, the sea, rivers, trees and even fungus.

Karen said: "There is more on show in some of our pieces in this collection which seem fitting to support the green week."

The pop-up shop will be at Felicity's Farm Shop on Saturday, September 18 from 9.30am to 5.30pm.
