Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Norwegian designer Martin Solem's Daddy Long Legs bar stools were awarded Best New Product at this year's Blueprint Design Awards held on September 22 at household accessories trade show 100% Design.

The Blueprint Design Awards were established by leading architectural and design magazine Blueprint to honor established and upcoming designers who reflect the public mood and feel of the times in their work.

This year a panel composed of industry professionals honored Martin Solem for his range of minimalist wooden bar stools.

Solem, who was exhibiting as part of 100% Norway, was one of two Norwegian designers to be awarded at the Blueprint Design awards alongside Caroline Olsson, who was named Best Newcomer .

Held in Earl's Court, London, 100% Design, which wraps up Sunday, focuses on consumer-focused interior design and household accessories; the event is subdivided into sections labeled 100%Design, 100% Materials and 100% Futures.

Later in the year the latest interior design trends and household products will be showcased on the other side of the world at Interior Lifestyle Living Tokyo which runs November 2-4 and attracts around 80,000 visitors per year.
