SUPER TEXTURE<br />
This Spring sees us delving deeper into Super Texture – the name that we gave to our first collection<br />
of textiles. Continuing our exploration into the construction of cloth we dive deep into the weave,<br />
the knits and the knots, we add colour and extra texture, and we start some adventures in print, in<br />
embroidery and in the hand tufting and looping of wool.<br />
ABSTRACT<br />
Abstract is the name we are<br />
giving a pair of cushions made<br />
using techniques from the rug<br />
and carpet industries. Thick,<br />
woolly, harder wearing and<br />
generally more substantial than<br />
most cushions these are hand<br />
tufted by extraordinarily skilled<br />
craftsmen.<br />

PAINT<br />
Paint is a set of cushions with<br />
a subtle painterly print of<br />
abstracted urban landscapes<br />
rendered onto super soft<br />
linen mix. We commissioned<br />
a young artist to create a set<br />
of abstracted architectural<br />
watercolours based on scenes<br />
of British urbanism.<br />

SOFT<br />
Two new colours – Wine and<br />
Khaki join our Soft range this<br />
season. This series of cushions<br />
fashioned by Dutch weavers is<br />
composed of rare South-African<br />
Angora goat hair historically<br />
said to be as valuable as gold<br />
itself. Combined with European<br />
craftsmanship and a generous<br />
filling of Danish duck feathers<br />
this range offers superior pile<br />
height, durability, and the<br />
ultimate indulgence in comfort<br />
and texture.<br />
Soft Cushion Pink, Wine,<br />
Khaki and Ochre<br />
BOUCLE<br />
Khaki and Electric Blue are<br />
our latest to the Boucle colour<br />
palette. We’ve made our blue<br />
more electric, intense and<br />
vibrant. We have also added a<br />
military inspired khaki – a colour<br />
that has the odd characteristics<br />
of acting either as a neutral or<br />
a highlight. Uncompromising<br />
in quality, Boucle is composed<br />
of hand-spun, hand-woven<br />
yarn, loomed by hand in the<br />
remote mountainous region of<br />
Rajasthan with wool sourced<br />
from New Zealand.<br />

Embroidered illustrations inspired<br />

phenomenon in bold embroidered<br />
strokes, Geo is the no-fuss<br />
monochromatic that packs a<br />
graphic punch.<br />

MATERIALISM<br />
Materiality is an underlying theme in all our work, from the rawness of cast metals and precious<br />
stone to the surface possibilities of vacuum metalised plastics or the malleable quality of<br />
molten glass. Materialism gives an extra tactile dimension to the objects we mould, carve and cast,<br />
creating a synergy between container and scent in Cork, Terrazzo, Stone, Alloy and Oil.<br />
TERRAZZO<br />
Weighty, rounded and satisfying<br />
to touch, Terrazzo is a fitting<br />
new member of the Materialism<br />
family – a substantial container<br />
for this fresh Mediterranean<br />
scent.<br />

CORK<br />
An unconventional scent of<br />
burnt sugar and smoky wood<br />
permeates a raw cork vessel,<br />
stamped with the mark of its<br />
maker.
PASTAIO<br />
Located in London’s Soho, Pastaio is the latest restaurant from the Stevie Parle and Design Research Studio<br />
team. The 70 seat pasta restaurant in Soho’s Ganton Street pairs a clean backdrop of industrial materials<br />
and a single bold wall mural. An informal dining experience, that nods towards the Italian menu with the<br />
pastaio on show, terrazzo surfaces and colours that pop.<br />
STONE GIFTSET<br />
This heavyweight giftset of<br />
six Stone candles showcases<br />
a colour spectrum of exotic<br />
marbles. Turned on lathes by<br />
skilled engineers in India each<br />
rocky, rounded heavyweight<br />
container is unique due to the<br />
particularities of the individual<br />
block of marble. This forms<br />
the optimum vessel for the<br />
dry exotic fig and sandalwood<br />
essence of our Stone scent<br />
collection.<br />

ECLECTIC<br />
There are a series of intangibles that can be just as important in interior-design as colour,<br />
luminosity and shape. Often, the most potent first impression and subsequent memory<br />
of a space can be its smell. The Eclectic family of Tom Dixon scents are each contained in a<br />
corresponding Brass, Copper and Stainless-Steel hand-spun vessel.<br />
ORIENTALISM<br />
Orientalist captures the faint<br />
memory of an Indian wedding<br />
with rose petal garlands, giant<br />
cinnamon sticks on beach stalls<br />
and the musky smells of the<br />
Chinese herbal market.<br />
ROYALTY<br />

Royalty is a reminiscence of tea<br />
time with a pot of Earl Grey,<br />
scones, strawberry jam and<br />
the drive home in a ‘52 Bentley<br />
with tatty leather seats.<br />

London Diffuser<br />
London captures the smell of<br />

the salty smell of the Thames<br />

PLANT<br />
The double headed vase designed for the curation of floral arrangements and micro ecosystems.<br />
Mouthblown, each vase varies in shape, size and thickness of glass to create a truly unique vessel.<br />

HOW TO<br />
1. Clean the inside of the vessel to ensure there’s no<br />
residue that could harm the plant.<br />
2. Fill the bottom of the vessel with a 1½ inch layer of<br />
small rocks to collect the water drainage.<br />
3. Add a layer of potting soil made for succulents. It<br />
should be deep enough for the plants to root to, so<br />
roughly 2½ inches.<br />
4. Remove the largest plant from its container and<br />
dust excess soil off the roots. You may want to<br />
trim the roots, so they aren’t too long.<br />
5. Using a long-stemmed implement, make a hole in the<br />
soil for the roots and nestle the plant inside. Then pat<br />
the soil down firmly to hold the plant in place.<br />
6. Plan for approximately 1 plant per inch of<br />
container diameter.<br />
7. Continue placing the smaller plants using this<br />
method, trying to keep them away from the edges.<br />
8. Clean off any excess soil around the glass of the<br />
container and add a small amount of water.
SPIN<br />
An industrial-strength piece of table-top engineering designed to act as a kinetic centrepiece and<br />
produce infinite arrangements. Able to hold tea lights and taper candles with equal elegance,<br />
the cast iron contraption takes cues from the heavyweight cantilever mechanisms of dockside<br />
cranes and the mechanical elegance of 1950s mobiles.<br />
