Last years Marmite trend is set to continue into 2010 with new additions to the range.
This fun wooden crate holds 14 different books, each on the subject of a different vegetable groups.
The new Mia glassware range from LSA will ease your conscience, as the whole range is made from 100% recycled glass. As a result, the glassware has a gorgeous greeny hue, giving a twist to their simple designs.
Our latest functional discovery for the kitchen are these fab Pizza Scissors. No need to worry about cutting through a crisp pizza base with a knife or roller, these scissors are definitely up to the job. With a stainless steel blade and comfortable plastic handle, they make a clean, controlled cut and are easy to clean and store away.
Looking out the window here at Utility HQ doesn't brighten my spirits - it's cold, dark and damp. Luckily, these fun Rabbit Jelly Moulds have cheered me up no end. I'm thinking sweet bunny shaped jellies for dessert, or perhaps even breaking out the blancmange for the ultimate childhood nostalgia trip!
If you doubted before, here it is confirmed; the Knoll Nakashima Splay Leg Table is a design classic, it's official. Named as a 'design gem', in the Best Re-issue of the Year catagory in the Wallpaper Design Awards, this wining design by George Nakashima demonstrates his respect for the natural form of trees - a quality his work is prized for. This really is a timeless design.
Not only is turquoise the Colour of the Year for 2010, it was also the colour palette of choice for Arne Jacobsen when designing the famous Room 606 at the SAS Hotel, Copenhagen in 1966. Both the Egg Chair and Swan Chair designed by Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen, were used in Room 606, in their fabulous turquoise shades.
The authority on colour, Pantone, announced the Colour of the Year to be turquoise, 15-5519 to be precise! So to inspire you to rejuvenate your home and put the dull and dreary days of winter behind you, we have chosen a selection of our favourite turquoise pieces from across out furniture, lighting and home accessory ranges.
Time to get organised - we love this great new desk tidy in the style of the iconic Bic Biro pen lid!
Thank you to one of our customers (who shall remain nameless) for sending in this photo of a sign at Liverpool's Royal Hospital. It really put a smile on our faces on yet another miserable day! Roll on Spring.
