Beautiful Umbrellas...

I love this umbrella by Partners & Spade - its made from fabric found in India - not sure how well it functions as an umbrella though, but it's beautiful!

Drill-Design from Japan

I've just found Drill Design's website - The paper wood products are really lovely, you can find out more about the production process on their website. I also love their Beetle-dining chairs..so elegant and very Scandinavian.

Knitted...

At the moment I'm completely obsessed with anything that's knitted, i visited the Wonderwool show on Saturday and saw so many lovely things (mostly gorgeous organic wool!) I bought myself some natural wool and felt to make big cushions - I'm hoping I'll be able to follow some kind of simple pattern for the front of the cushions! I love these lights from 'ilot llov', each light is covered in a knitting cozy that's perfect for hanging above a bed.

Studio Gorm

I love thie #3 Chair by Studio Gorm, so elegant, clean andsoft looking. The seat is laminated in large sections which can produce a bench or two large chairs.

Bottlegreen Limited Edition

Premium soft drink brand Bottlegreen has unveiled a range of stylish sparkling bottles for the festive season. The designs were created by Textile Design graduate Rachel Pitman, following a nationwide talent search by Bottlegreen Drinks Co.

The Lazy Teapot

Designer Lotte Alpert created a design concept for this teapot and its holding device, whose saving grace is its temperature scale on the back that lets you first boil liquid and then dial up a specific temperature to keep that liquid warm. The Lazy Teapot comes with a special dock that allows you to pour liquids without having to lift the pot!!
