Graphic Lighting

There is nothing like design inspired by nature. If you like flora inspired prints, you should have a look at papercloud.

Our favorites are their lampshades. The handmade designs are ideal for almost any space.

Devine Porcelain

Lois Aronow Porcelain is a new favorite of ours. I love the earthy, crackly surface textures and the color combinations, especially the Naked City Series.


Naked City Series

A selection of Lois Aronow's pieces are also trimmed with platinum, contributing a touch of decadence and grace.

Chemical Free Cleaning Kits


After a diagnoses of cancer in the family, the founder of Eco-Me was inspired to think more naturally about everyday products, especially cleaning products.

Eco-Me offers starter kits for you to make your own chemical free cleaning products, for your home, body, baby and even pets.

Eco-Me outlines that even though many 'natural' cleaning products seem healthier, that they are often produced with synthetic bases and colorants. By making your own cleaning and bodycare products, you ensure that you are using the healthiest ingredients.

Sorapot


Making tea just got more interesting and efficient thanks to industrial designer Joey Roth. Although I have traditionally used my Bodum for both loose leaf tea and coffee, I find the Sorapot striking for 2 main reasons: 1. its design, 2. its functionality. The Sorapot is designed for optimal functionality, allowing loose leaf tea and hot water to be added with ease. The functionality is the main draw, as the central glass chamber lies horizontally while the tea infuses, exposing a greater surface area to the hot water, genius.

Geometric Storage

Takeshi Miyakawa Design, a design firm based in Brooklyn, produces some of the most innovative storage units. The multi-sized drawers are nestled together in intriguing geometric patterns.


I could not help but include two fantastic chairs as well, delicate, geometric, subtly captivating.
