SBI brands' annual exhibitions in Henley and Baslow

Chatsworth Grand

Each autumn G Plan holds two private shows for its independent retailers, the first at Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire and the second in Baslow, Derbyshire. Last year they were joined by Parker Knoll and Derwent and this proved so successful the three brands exhibited together again this year.

The G Plan show featured the first introduction of the brand's new 'Elevate' range which received a great reception and should be in store from November 2011. On show were also two other new models, Florence and Washington and the introduction of the very popular Ethos Dakota model in soft cover.

Parker Knoll launched the Madison range, the latest addition to the brand's highly successful 'LifeStyle' Collection. The Madison has a European feel - its elegant lines are further enhanced by contemporary top stitching and piping detail, and it works beautifully in either fabric or leather. This is a full motion suite that incorporates all the comfort and style that characterises the LifeStyle Collection. Other show highlights were the addition to the Hudson range of manual and power recliners and the introduction of the popular Burghley model in leather.

Derwent’s glamorous collection saw the launch of the Chelsea and Kensington models featuring a luxurious scroll arm model covered in an innovative tie dyed-velvet fabric.

Overall attendance was very encouraging and we see these as two very important occasions to meet with our valued retailers on an annual basis.
