sewing light....

anyone who spends hours sitting at night sewing, quilting, knitting, cross stitching.............
knows the need for a good light,
preferably one that can balance on the arm of the couch....
this Carat Lamp designed by Arihiro Miyake, and presented at the 'Salone Satellite' in Milan this week
looks like the perfect lamp for the job,
it can be moved to sit at any angle by turning the base.......
and it looks good too.......

beehive is back....

We are lucky enough to have a new delivery of the ever popular Beehive Kitchenware in store....
there are new pieces as well as the new baby spoons again....
don't mess around this stuff doesn't last long.....

My dear friend and great designer Susie Stanford is exhibiting at Milan this year, this is one of her pieces, her tapestry upholstered armchair, its is stunning..........

I love these 'metal made to look like wood' pieces by Dutch designers Snodevormgevers, a liquor cabinet and stools..... very flintstones...


wouldn't it be great to be able to change your furniture seasonally, this modular sofa designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso would be great for Spring........


Brazilizan designers Fernando & Humberto Campana have designed 'Cipria' fake fur-covered sofas for Edra, with winter approaching, they look like something I'd love to curl up on and hibernate all winter.....


Tiffany Flowers, this light inspired by Tiffany lamps is by ding3000 an Hannover-based design group. It would look amazing hanging over one of Suzies chairs.....

After a little break, my clothing label Immune is back,
and the star attraction at the moment is this fantastic printed tee dress,

also we have new stock of the ever popular douglas & hope purses,
leather and these way too cute japanese prints, with a leather back.
