Nutscene and Exportation

Having just returned from the #Ambiente trade show in Frankfurt, we here at Nutscene are gearing up for our next show - #SourceBritish in LA. Trade shows for Nutscene are pivotal in how we operate - we meet lots of interesting people and make business connections from every corner of the globe! Though we have been exporting for many years, our trusted brand has been performing exceptionally well in countries such as the USA, Canada and Japan in recent years.

Currently we export to over 23 countries and interest in our product has never been higher! Our product is often copied, but never equalled - a bold statement perhaps, but one we truly believe in. We still use the original machinery that was introduced in 1922 and subsequently, as we manufacture our product at home in the UK, our buyers feel a true affinity to our product that is lovingly manufactured using traditional methods.  Furthermore, as our multi-purpose product is eco-friendly and sustainable, it is widely regarded as the best quality twine on the market. Nutscene - not just for gardening!

Britain Can Make It This publication is a highly visual celebration of the massively popular, but now largely forgotten ‘Britain Can Make It’ exhibition. Organised by the ‘Council of Industrial Design’ it was held in empty ground-floor galleries of the ‘Victoria & Albert Museum’ from September to December 1946. A ground-breaking, morale boosting exhibition it showcased British design and manufacturing. Despite its short run it boasted an incredible 1.4 million visitors and remains one of the most visited exhibitions ever held at the ‘V&A’. The aim of the ‘Britain Can Make It’ exhibition was both to bolster Britain's manufacturing industry and to promote a “design consciousness” in the British public. The severe debt left behind by the Second World War as well as continued rationing (which wouldn't ease until 1952) meant that income generated through trade, especially international trade, was crucial to recover Britain's crippled economy. The government decided that well-designed consumer goods for the domestic and export markets would represent British industry as modern, forward-thinking and high-quality. The ‘Council of Industrial Design’ was founded to "promote by all practicable means the improvement of design in the products of British industry”. More than 3,000 items were displayed, divided into 32 sections, by nearly 80 top designers of technology, fashion and household goods. From the entrance on Exhibition Road visitors followed a winding path through the Museum where they experienced the transition in manufacturing from war-time to peace-time. ‘Britain Can Make It’ edited by Diane Bilbey, published by ‘Paul Holberton Publishing’ with ‘V&A Publishing' and the ‘University of Brighton Design Archives’ is available to buy now. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #britaincanmakeit #book #dianebilbey #paulholbertonpublishing #vapublishing #universityofbrightondesignarchives #secondworldwar #britishdesign #vam #councilofindustrialdesign #postwarbritain #britishindustry https://www.instagram.com/p/B6kpI6_gwCv/?igshid=1qj74ltkjyrl3

Britain Can Make It ‘We’d got to get British manufacturers to produce well-designed goods quickly and to cheer the British public up. They were so depressed. Give them something to look forward to. You know, this was the dream of the future, if you like’. - James Gardner, Designer of ‘Britain Can Make It’. Long before the end of the Second World War hostilities the government’s ‘Post War Export Trade Committee’ recognised the importance of promoting the country’s manufacturing capabilities. Plans for an exhibition of ‘National Importance’ were set in place in October 1942 for an event that would illuminate the gloom of austerity, educate the public in the value of good design and most importantly, boost much needed foreign trade. Britain’s need to promote, manufacture and export its goods was urgent. The job of organising the exhibition was given to the ‘Council of Industrial Design’ on behalf of the government’s ‘Board of Trade’. From its early planning stages, there was a desire to create an exhibition that was full of colour, light and airy and far removed from the browns and greens of the inter-war years. The exhibition was also intended to work as a public morale boosting exercise and it did just that attracting visitors from around the country. Mile-long queues constantly formed outside the ‘V&A’. ‘Britain Can Make It’ edited by Diane Bilbey, published by ‘Paul Holberton Publishing’ with ‘V&A Publishing' and the ‘University of Brighton Design Archives’ is available to buy now. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #britaincanmakeit #book #dianebilbey #paulholbertonpublishing #vapublishing #universityofbrightondesignarchives #secondworldwar #britishdesign #vam #councilofindustrialdesign #postwarbritain #britishindustry https://www.instagram.com/p/B6kpBpMg_BG/?igshid=bv0uwjkiqdbs

Britain Can Make It ‘Britain Can Make It’ was not a trade show. Manufacturers had to put forward their products and only those deemed the best examples were chosen by specialist committees. An accompanying catalogue detailing the manufacturers of products (and significantly, wherever possible the names of the designers of each product) could be bought by visitors from one of the bookstalls dotted around the exhibition. The catalogue explained when goods would be available for the home and trade markets: ‘Now’, ‘Soon’ or ‘Later’. Most often they were ‘Later’ for the home market which led to negative comments in the press; ‘Britain Can’t Have It’, ‘Britons can’t buy it’ and ‘Britain Can’t Get It’. They just write themselves, don’t they?! Products representing key consumer groups; clothing, leisure and domestic products were displayed. These were diverse from pottery and glass to radios, women’s and men’s wear, furniture, fabrics, toys, jewellery, boilers, taps and sporting equipment. The 'Furnished Rooms’ section showcased room sets that sought to show how a range of people from different professional groups might live. By taking its structure loosely from the exhibition itself and from the accompanying ‘Design ’46’ catalogue ‘Britain Can Make It’ the book will take the reader through an eclectic range of subject areas and consumer products. ‘Britain Can Make It’ edited by Diane Bilbey, published by ‘Paul Holberton Publishing’ with ‘V&A Publishing' and the ‘University of Brighton Design Archives’ is available to buy now. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #britaincanmakeit #book #dianebilbey #paulholbertonpublishing #vapublishing #universityofbrightondesignarchives #secondworldwar #britishdesign #vam #councilofindustrialdesign #postwarbritain #britishindustry https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ko69PAWJ7/?igshid=9gx4ifvw8vec
