Collection of Dartington Kindred vases

Designed by Hilary Green, the design inspiration for Dartington Kindred vases was the Swedish glass blowers who originally went to Dartington in the 1960s and early 70s. The new Kindred collection is a modern version of what the Swedish glass makers would have originally made during that period.

Created in 8 great colours, they’re best displayed in pairs to create an optic effect as they sit perfectly alongside each other. They’re available in 4 different sizes, perfect to mix & match.

colourful Byron and Byron curtain poles

Curtain poles usually come in dark wood, light wood or a gold, silver or brassy-coloured metal. These remind me of when Apple came up with its fruity iMacs. Why didn’t anyone think of doing this before?!

Well now they have! These Byron and Byron curtain poles will be launched at Decorex International in September 2013.

This week’s Tuesday Huesday image is from an apartment available for let in Malmö, Sweden. The mix of strong, bright colours and patterns is just right – not jarring in the least.
