Made in England

Now, for a healthy dose of good old handcrafted goods. Based in Devon, England, Really Rural Inspirations offers a wide range of furniture that is both decorative and practical. Proudly handmade in England.

I just love these wooden stackable Tidy Boxes are made using Vintage Wine Crates. The boxes have two strong British Made Tute handles, and a Brass Name Card holder.


And these wall posts are perfect for organising your post at the entrance.

Ishi pouf

Doesn't Naoto Fukasawa's Ishi pouf for Driade just make you want to sit on it and rock to-and-fro? I can totally imagine this as a centrepiece in a space surrounded by splashes of colours and textures or, better still, out in the garden (if your budget permits that is). This sofa is a wood structure with polyurethane foam padding. The fixed cover is in white leather. Available at SPACE.

Tokujin Yoshika

The Japanese are amazing with transforming simple materials such a paper and concrete into works of art that can actually be used. Check out Tokujin Yoshika's "Honey Pop" chair made from glassine paper sheets (i.e tissue paper).


Yoshika also did a renovation room for Muji that have sliding doors that can hide away all the rooms. An idea for those who can't stand clutter.

Jamie Hayon


There is just so much talent out there but I think my favourite designer at the moment has got to be Jamie Hayon. Don't you just love this chair above from his BD Showtime collection? I really like the mix of organic and classical forms and the unique combination of leather and plastic in this design.

His bathroom collection, AQHayon, for Artquitect is also my all time favourite. Drooling...(again)

Re-thinking kitsch

I just love anything by Phillip Starck but these Mademoiselle chairs are on a different league altogether!

Designed by Starck for Kartell, this clever design for an arm chair is perhaps one of the first-ever to combine two aesthetic qualities: materiality and transparency. The transparent polycarbonate structure offers a sturdy support for a comfy seat in yummy fabric-covered expanded polyurethane. Available at Lifestorey.
