Last night was the annual PropertyDrum Awards 2012. Held at London's Lancaster Hotel the event is one of the highlights of the Estate Agency/ Property calendar.
This year we entered for the award of best Design Agency & Fitting and we won!
This is a credit to all the hard work of director Pete Champion, Head of 3D Tanya Fairhurst and the rest of the 'i-am' team. We also have to say a huge thank you to Ivor and his team over at D&G and Fiona and her team at S&P- without their drive to create cutting edge design with quality products and finish we wouldn't have been able to win.
For those of you who kindly came along to our first 'i-am' session, it was a pleasure to have you!
We hosted our first 'i-am' event here at The Old School House attended by specialists from the world of food, colour and trend analysis for us all to explore 'The Business of Colour'.
By understanding how colour trends are predicted, how colour affects the customer experience and importantly how colour can make you money it was an evening of wonderful insight.
More treats and tricks will be shared on our next newsletter so sign up on the website to receive the full information.

We are so thrilled to see our creation; Jabba the beach hut being celebrated in collaboration with the East Midlands tourist board.
A collaboration that showcases landmarks across the East Midlands that will all be included in the Olympic torch relay this summer.
Last week some of the graphics team here at i-am went to Glug London, a regular event with talks from some fantastic designers and illustrators. The digital fountain by Jason Bruges Studio really caught my eye. If you've shopped in Westfield you may have seen it towering at 12m high and built of LCD screens. To create the realistic flow of 'water' they took a 3D scan of a water fountain in their studio and programmed it so there is a continual flow and the effect is stunning. However, with a price tag of a cool £2 million it's unlikely i-am will be commissioning work from them any time soon!
Its open, our new completed restaurant design!
We are so delighted with the results and we hope that you get down there soon.
The Beyond team put together a fantastic launch strategy creating a lot of noise cycling around London handing out promotional chopsticks and fortune cookies.
The queues were out the door for lunch and with lots more promo events in the pipeline make sure you visit the East Street website for offers and news!
Hope to see you there
Come say hi to us at Drapers Fashion Summit 2011... we will be on hand to help your brand grow in our little 'i-am' garden.
We love this place. They must do something rather special when creating their Katsu curry. It's crazy good. Reserved just for Friday's of course. Hail the Japanese Canteen
Just can't seem to ignore the subtle beauty of Aesop's stores. This new standalone in Ginza, Japan makes use of traditional red brick to evoke the brands natural, earthy values.
