EVENING POST
Business section
European designer products website BODIE and FOU has attracted countless plaudits in the years since it was set up. Karine Kong, who launched it, attributes its success to the quality of the household goods and furnishings on offer. She said: "The media loves to write about our products. Many of our ranges you simply cannot get anywhere in the UK." But building this media interest is also the result of considerable hard work. When she launched her site, Karine invested considerable time in meeting and briefing journalists, showing them products and buidling relationships. The result has been a cascade of free media exposure that has firmly established BODIE and FOU in the contemporary interiors market. Between the first and second years, turnover leapt by 180 per cent. The company, based at the Paintworks in Bath road, Arnos Vale, is continuing to build sales strongly. Karine launched BODIE and FOU with her sister Elodie following a 15-year career in marketing. "It was when I had a baby that I decided to change direction", she explains. "Although I did return to marketing consultancy for a short time after my maternity leave, I decided to dedicate myself full-time to establishing my new business". Karine drew on her marketing background to develop a strategic promotional plan to support the launch of BODIE and FOUO. In addition to the concerted editorial campaign, this involves online marketing, including google pay-per-click promotions, competitions and online advertising.
Karine also produces a monthly electronic newsletter for her growing customer base - which increases in frequency to become a weekly publication in the run-up to Christmas. She said: "Business Link has been a valuable sounding board in developing my business. "Although marketing is my core skill there are a number of areas where I very much welcomed input from my Business Link adviser" |

YOU Magazine (Mail on Sunday) 2/3
It was the arrival of their daughter, Mila Sienna two years ago that left both French-born Karine and New Zealand- born Steve hankering to re-create the lazy, salty summer days of their own childhoods. And this little spot of French heaven was the perfect answer. They choose Cazaux as it was where Karine grew up and is near where her parents still live. 'It's a wonderfully rich region' says Karine, 'with great seafood, wine and the dramatic landscape of Bordeaux's wineries and castles in one direction and the long, unspoilt beaches of the Atlantic in the other'. The house is styled in a simple mix of elegant French pieces and contemporary designs. Karine has teamed affordable buys from Ikea and La Redoute with designer items from BODIE and FOU - pretty cushions, tea-light holders and Familia crockery. There are also clever finds from antique markets and junk shops (legacies from her mother, a keen flea-market hoarder) to lend a little personnality.
Each bedroom has a different mood, with accent colours and accessories, and there are sentimental touches, such as toys and beds that they owned as children. Set against the cool, calming backdrop of white walls, subtle French grey and nautical blue hues, the feel is clean and modern, chic but not precious. 'Whatever the weather, these colours always remind me of being on holiday', Karine says.

Karine takes a practical yet warm and welcoming approach to family living. 'After ten years in England, and with Steve's family on the other side of the world, it was important for me to create a family home, where Mila and my sister Elodie's daughter Lily, can grow up with the same wonderful memories that we have', Karine enthuses. 'We wanted a house where we could all hang out together, cooking and eating, where the kids could run free and we could relax in hammocks under the trees, reading and sleeping'. The family often find themselves having breakfast in the sunshine by the French windows, moving the table to the shade under the trees for lunch and then around to the back of the house for dinner by sunset - having barely moved a muscle to do anything else.
