The Spring 2019 collection from Australian design leaders Jardan includes a range of homeware both beautiful and functional – such as this modernist Ivy Oil Burner, handmade from chalky raku clay. AUD140, Jardan.
Also from Jardan and an ideal wedding gift are these playful yet tailored Tone Planters (in two colourways: Orchid & Sand or Bark and Mustard) from Australian designer Lightly. AUD150, Jardan.
You can’t go wrong with stylish staples. These serving boards from AC Homestore are individually handcrafted from recycled elm. Round Board NZD109.99, Long 60cm Board NZD84.99.
Storm & India’s bespoke loose-leaf blends are 100% certified organic and made from the finest tea, herbs and botanicals. And it doesn’t hurt, either, that their minimalist black and white tea tins look very stylish on display in the kitchen.
From NZD40 per tin.
Cathedral is an abstract nature study by NZ photographer Jordan Reid. Captured at Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel, this print is a timeless reminder of NZ summers and the calming presence of nature. From NZD179, Sunday Homestore.
Citta Design’s new Pinstripe linen is a very fine, subtle stripe on soft 100% linen. The range includes timeless, premium quality table linen – tablecloth NZD159, coasters NZD18.90 (set of four), napkins NZD12.90 and placemats NZD19.90.
Disc Trays by Belgium designer Arno Declercq are sculptural pieces that serve as both objects and works of art. Handcrafted from Belgian Oak, the process is steeped in craft and history. Each piece is treated using the ancient Japanese technique of Yakusugi, wherein objects are burned, to protect the wood from weathering and creates a unique patina. From NZD1213, Simon James Design.
