Ceramics Crush

I am not afraid to share that I have a total ceramics crush on The Mod Collective!

The whole collection is available in this amazing range of fun colours and a huge array of edgy finishes. The unique surface patterns are created through a mix of design software, 3D printing and then the final pieces are cast, by hand, in Valissa’s Melbourne studio. The result is these beautifully detailed objects that range from serving ware through to light pendants.

I adore the complete range but I think the light pendants are simply spectacular! The textured surface is emphasised so beautifully as the light rays shine through the porcelain. These are really a special creation, don’t you agree?

Geo a Go Go

Geometric patterns are still a huge trend at the moment with hundreds of beautiful faceted designs on the market.

This week I share with you a few pieces that I think are the pick of the crop, easy to work into your home as individual pieces, without the need to totally overhaul your style.

Hope you like my selection!

Optical Illusion

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, Hermit is back!

This week we will explore some amazing designs that will indeed make you do a second take, third and fourth even! I have discovered some really interesting pieces that play with your perception of space. They tell your eyes and brain an opposing story, performing the impossible and hold the viewer entranced in a state of disbelief.

Teen out of Teen

For the teen girl, think pretty but with a more mature edge.

I fell in love with this bird light recently at Life Instyle, cut from a paper-thin metal sheet it simply fits over a bare bulb (total design brilliance!) The vases are also amazing, you probably cannot tell in the image but they are folded metallic paper that surround an ordinary, everyday drinking glass, ingenious or what?!

Moroccan pouffes are super trendy at the moment and are available in a huge range of fun colours, great comfortable seating for teens to have D&Ms on. Flameless candles means an atmospheric room without any safety concerns, add an arty print with attitude and I think we are on a winner.

And now it is apparent. Clearly I am obsessed with the new Snurk range, there is just too much amazingness in the one place I tell you! So to save me posting every single design they create, I suggest you just check out their site directly. Brilliant, clever design that is totally unique and super fun. I think I want one of each…

Maximum Effect

Have you heard of the brilliantly curated collections of online store The Minimalist?

I only recently discovered them after falling in love with the Varpunen Sacks and hounding down an Aussie supplier. They stock a small but beautiful and unique range of homewares that are all right on trend. HH recommends checking out their artist list if you are after something edgy and new to accessorize your home with.

If you are Sydney based, The Minimalist are opening a pop up shop today at Gaffa Building, Arcade 1, 281 Clarence Street Sydney. Go and check out their amazing range of wares in the flesh until August 17th.

Equilibrium

Mathematics was never my strong point, so it comes as no surprise that I find the current geometric trend a tricky one.

Personally I find most of the designs a little too busy, or bright, or worse still, a combination of both. So I decided to take on the challenge and find some geometric inspired homewares which I do love and would be more than happy to feature in my home. Gasp! Is it possible my left brain has embraced the use of the equilateral triangle?!

Here are some pared back pieces to make you the Dux rather than Dunce of the current geometric trend!

1. Triangle Floating Shelf set by Junglai

2. Natural Linen pillow covers by Paleolochic

3. Balance Frame by Mmim

4. Modern Mobile – Himmeli No. 5 by AMradio

5. Isleta Duvet Cover by Anthropologie
