We spotted this vibrant lighting last week, and just couldn't take our eyes off it!

It's fun because you can choose different sizes, loads of coloured shades and mix the coloured flex to create your own combination. An added bonus comes in the form of a charitable donation made for each one sold. The designer Bonnelycke mdd donates a percentage of each purchase to a fund that supports a social cause in India through the charity Enable Denmark. We love the colour and the story behind it.

We're looking forward to getting them on display in all our shops shortly. Watch this space!

 
We have a great selection of lighting, including table lamps, pendant and wall lamps, lamp shades and floor lamps. more...

We've just put our new pieces from Jack Neville out on display in our Islington shop. They're all looking really lovely, and causing quite a pre-Christmas stir!  more...

Our newest shades! In lime green, amber and natural, the Honey lampshade blooms like a flower, settling into its final beehive shape after a few days in position and creating a beautifully intricate patterned silhouette on walls and ceilings that gives a natural, calming feel to any room. Made of premium felt (100% wool) & dyed with eco friendly tints, it's just £28 and comes in gift worthy packaging. 

Back to our favourite Danish accessories brand, RICE... We've now helped over 150 families in the one-to-one project with partners RICE and Danish Refugee Council. When you buy a Cup of Hope or a Spoon of Hope, they give families help when they are in difficult times. If you buy a set of our Cups, you give a family a water can and wash kit. If you buy a Spoon of Hope you give a family 24 servings of soup. RICE are aiming to sell 10,000. We have just reached a more modest figure of 154. RICE believes that no one can help everyone but everyone can help someone. It's a good motto. Go on, listen to Phillipe, one of the directors. Then look at the products - you know you want to!

Our new French ceramic lighting has arrived. Made in the hills of France, entirely by hand, this family run workshop creates earthenware lighting that is of a traditional style. The new jazz ceramic table lamps above come in a vast array of colours from fiery reds and fushias to metallic bronzes and soft earthy tones. But that's not all, there are traditional rise and fall pendants and suspensions - click to see them all.  Bah ouai!

Uber cool birdhouses from Etienne Esmenjaud. If you'd like to see more birds in your garden, these nesting boxes provide homes for robins & wrens (Mrs Birdee) and all manner of tits (Mr Birdee). They attach easily to many supports and come flat packed in recycled packaging. Made of PEFC materials, the nest boxes are easy enough for a child to assemble and need no glue, nails or screws.

For years we have stocked this cult Danish homewares designer and watched as one vibrant collection after another arrived. Our favourites are the handmade rafia baskets. They are loved by kids and adults alike. We love their products but we also admire the ethical side of the business. All pieces are produced in developing countries with a great respect for the people they work with. RICE has the SA8000 fair trade certification which guarantees they adhere to responsible social criteria. Click to see the basket range made in Madagascar.
