Why: A selection of lamb’s wool, woollen and Turkish cotton throws are the perfect addition to your living room or bedroom, all year round. Some of us love to add to the aesthetic of a space with a throw or bed covers, the rest of us will actually use them every day.
Bed covers are a great addition to the bedroom, especially if you run on the warmer side and need a cooler option whilst you rest. If you sleep next to someone, you may have different needs when it comes to warmth and coverage at night. It is nice to have a couple of options so you are not stealing the covers from one another.

What: Hayden Youlley Ceramics
Who for: Lovers of outside the box ceramics
Why: The Paper series is a functional dinnerware series that uses a simple creased paper form cast by hand in porcelain, transforming the often-discarded flawed object, fragile and temporary, into something robust and permanent.
This work is about using porcelain to create a surprising tactile experience. The simple, random distribution of creases in the porcelain surface of the objects creates complex patterns of light, shade and texture that disrupt the smooth surface to mimic crushed paper and invite investigation and touch. We love the fully functional element of the Paper series being full dishwasher and microwave safe.
You have the option of a pitcher, a vase, bowls and salad bowls.
