Well, what a fantastic time we had at The Briggait last week for our 6th edition of #DesignPopUp Glasgow! With our highest number of attendees to date, we are absolutely thrilled to have welcomed so many architects, designers, and specifiers from across Scotland.
We must show our appreciation and thanks to our partners 2-TJoiners, Benholm and Duraflor. With their help, the #DesignPopUp CPD area was a welcoming and interactive space to enjoy our panel discussions and presentations over the course of the event.
2-TJoiners craftsmanship and creativity for all the pieces on display,the seating and tables, and lectern within the CPD area was outstanding. The level of detail and care taken into creating the items showcased at #DesignPopUp is second to none. Raymond Clark and his highly skilled team of joiners, including technical staff use a wide variety of timber materials employing the latest techniques and equipment, taking you from the design stage right through to manufacturing and installation.
