Exbury Egg
17th June 2013
The Exbury Egg is a studio space designed in collaboration between PAD studio, the SPUD group and British artist Stephen Turner.
Tethered like a boat, Turner will live and work in the pod over the course of a year while it takes on the patina of 730 tides, and 365 days of weathering by wind, rain and sun.
Amazing.

Rainbow Mugs
10th June 2013
Design supremo Massimo Vignelli created these Rainbow Mugs in 1975 … and their colours are making me happy on a Monday in 2013.
Isn’t that cool.
Pop Plant
4th June 2013
I love these Pop Plant succulents.
I bought a similar one (moulded from the base of a coke bottle) when we were in Yzerfontein a couple of months ago.
DIY concrete planters are actually quite simple to make – so if you feel like getting crafty check out this great DIY Ceramic Tutorial over on DesignSponge. Then you can get painting, dip-dying, stencilling, spraying to your hearts content.
Truly Lovely Den Kit
30th May 2013
I spotted this Truly Lovely Den Kit when we were at the Eden Project a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a simple but genius idea.
The kit contains “everything a girl would need to build a den anywhere in the world…” including:
• a tarpaulin
• a fleecy blanket
• a groundsheet
• a handmade mallet
• tent pegs + a tent peg bag
• 15m rope
• instructions
All packed neatly into a cool little shoulder bag.
This would make an awesome gift for an adventurous little traveller and if you’re looking for a boy, check out the less flowery Kids Den Kit.
Bambu
24th May 2013
We’ve been searching for decent chopping boards for a while now, so I’m happy to say we’ve finally found some.
These Bambu Cutting Edge boards are going to rock our kitchen and makes friends with the knives, and the turquoise and green give them just the right amount of cool. Can’t wait.
Busy Bee
23rd May 2013
Friends!
I’m sorry for ignoring you! London has been keeping me busy, work has been keeping me busy and I’m only just about finding time to visit friends and sleep in between.
I have so many exciting things to blog about and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t find the time. I promise I’ll try a bit harder…
This Bee cushion is over on Society6 (who incidentally have free worldwide shipping from today until Sunday).
DIY Screen Printing Kit
30th April 2013
My über-talented designer friend Justin just sent me the link to this awesome DIY screen printing kit.
It’s not just a pretty box either – packed with everything you could possibly need to set up your own screen printing empire, it looks perfect for anyone who wanted to start screen printing (me/him). Think we’re going to split it.
Owl Love

These owl lanterns are making me happy this morning.

Higher Desk
17th April 2013
I think the Higher Desk designed by Berlin / Shanghai design house Coordination is great.
Perfect for use in confined spaces, the minimal cork, lathed oak and lacquered steel table has an interchangeable, shorter leg that can be propped against a ledge / unit / stack of books to work more effectively within a space.

My Neighbor Totoro
16th April 2013
Oh yes! Please can I have this My Neighbor Totoro sleeping bag? I know it’s for babies, but I want one anyway.
The adult version comes in a sofa style bed, which is also super cool and I’d like one of those as well, please.
Genius.
Michael Wolf
15th April 2013
Michael Wolf’s photos for his book, Architecture of Density make me homesick for Hong Kong.
The images taken between 2003 and 2007, are an unsual take on Hong Kong’s crazy skyscraper living.
For more of his work take a look at his site here.

Neon
12th April 2013
I came across these guys, Penny Farthing Design House the other day and I really love the things they sell.
Custom neon? Yes please.
Fivefold Happiness
5th April 2013
I love that it’s neon and that it’s a cloud … but what I love best is it’s name.

I am also crazy in love with these South Beach Stripe Rugs by Xavier&Me.
Black and white please!
Pretty Pegs
28th March 2013
Pretty Pegs make amazing sofa and bed legs that can be used to jazz up IKEA furniture.
These SEVA ones are my favourite. Dip dyed feet are the way to go!
