my top 5 stands at Pulse 2015

 In my line of work you go to quite a few trade fairs and see a LOT of new designers work, week in, week out. So when I made my trip to Pulse 2015 I thought it might be interesting to do a round up for the blog of the stands that I thought were designed and curated the best. In short, my favourite 5 stands. The designers/makers/distributers below deserve big props in my opinion for standing out from the crowd and curating their wares in delightful ways. So, in no particular order my top 5 stands are... 1.  W I T  S H O P "WitShop are Jakob Creswell-Rost and Freya Hawtin.
