Practical and Multifunctional Furniture from Softline

The range of practical and multifunctional furniture from Softline demonstrate Scandinavian design at its best. Clean effortless lines result in a refined presence with each design responding to today's evolving lifestyles. This is particularly evident within the collection of innovative sofa beds - a great excuse to entertain guests and host social occasions acting not only as comfortable seating solutions but transforming into spacious single or double sleeping areas. Easily convertible, the minimalist and stylish contours conceal their alternative use providing the perfect solution to insufficient living space. Each model exhibits individual style, character and size ensuring there is something to suit every household, family and environment. For added practicality the integration of removable covers can be dry-cleaned and replaced if needed as well as new covers ordered if you decide to change the colour. Made in Denmark, they display exceptional craftsmanship and quality and can be selected from a range of fabrics and colours to suit.

Rustic & Durable Notebooks from Field Notes

We must confess we're fans of a handy and attractive notebook so when Field Notes arrived at Utility headquarters we succumbed to their rustic design with thoughts turning to the numerous things we could fill them with.

Now you can be ready for all eventualities when inspiration, ideas or thoughts strike!

The larger spiral bound Steno Book, specifically designed for Stenography also known as 'Shorthand', contains 80 pages of Gregg ruled paper aiding journalists to transcribe the spoken word. Printed on the reverse of its Super Duty Chipboard cover is all sorts of useful information such as temperature conversions, how to survive a paper cut as well as an abbreviations guide - you'll never be caught out again. Why not complete the set with Field Notes Pen & Pencils.  So whether you're a writer, creative, student, scientist, mathematician or a list-maker, Field Notes has your back!
