Paola Navone & Marcel Wanders for Bisazza
Tiles and mosaics are no longer destined for the walls of kitchens and bathrooms, not now that celebrated designers Paola Navone and Marcel Wanders have collaborated with Bizazza for their 2014 collection.
Menu Multi-Basket by Norm
How was your weekend? I hope it was how it should be this time of year, crazy busy but fun! Today is a pretty special day for me because I’m celebrating my 13-year wedding anniversary with Guillaume. We haven’t got anything planned immediately as it kind of crept up on us this year but we do have one bottle of fine French champagne chilling in the fridge.
New Zealand Christmas Gift Guide #2
I have five more New Zealand Made Christmas gift ideas today. The first is something on the wish list to use not as a stool but as a bedside table. Designed by Timothy John and owner of the uber cool Paper Plane Store, The Side Kick low stool would make a very special and practical gift for the furniture design appreciator. It comes in five different steel base colours and two different solid ash hardwood top finishes.
Koromiko International Handmade
I’m always on the hunt for handmade products with a bit of edge so you could imagine my delight when I stumbled upon the very cool Koromiko online store. Koromiko was founded by Tracey George, a New Zealander based in The States – I know, I know, these clever Kiwis. Tracey curates a beautiful range of international handmade products with the eye for beautiful design. Behind the store is Koromiko’s promise to support independent designers that make goods in small batch runs and who are sustainable in their practices.
Introducing CULTIVER Cushion Collection
Let me introduce you to some beautifully elegant cushions that are the latest addition to the expanding range of affordable luxury brand, CULTIVER.
When I first saw them, I got in touch with Nicolle Sullivan, the founder of CULTIVER and a sponsor of this blog to tell her how much I love them! She told me that she wanted to offer something unique and special to the market so spent quite some time searching to find the perfect fit to her brand. I’m glad she did!
New Zealand Christmas Gift Guide #1
You may recall that I was planning a New Zealand month in December where each and every post in that month would be dedicated to the wonderful talent we have here in New Zealand. Well, unfortunately I’ve been a bit under the weather for a few weeks and have had to do the bare minimum so I simply wouldn’t have been able go out and put the energy into this project as I would like to. New Zealand Month is on hold until early next year however I thought I’d put together a little Christmas gift guide of things I love that are made by clever Kiwis.
Home Time with Gorman
Hi everyone, it’s so good to be back after a few days off. While I was having a little break I get the email about Gorman’s new Home Time homeware range. Once I took a look at it, I wanted to write a post about it immediately as I’ve been waiting for this since writing about the Gorman homeware collaboration with Ellie Malin here.
The Humble Basket
Ah beautiful, beautiful baskets, all of the different shapes, colours, textures and ethnicity are a perfect way to add interesting touches to a home. The uses are endless, from the practical to purely decorative. Here’s a selection of some that have caught my eye of late:
