We recently came across the website of Bloomingville, a Danish homewares company. Their photographs are beautiful and their blend of homely, handmade and industrial is just perfect!

A is for… Arne
It’s the start of a new year… so we’re starting a new alphabet blog series.
We picked up this fabulous stainless steel tea set over the holiday period – so ‘A’ just had to be for ‘Arne’… Arne Jacobsen that is.
He’s one of the great designers of the 20th century – and is the man responsible for designing this set.
It was manufactured by Stelton of Denmark in the 1960s. The various pieces are unused in their boxes… and retain their original labels to the underside.
The Cylinda-line brochures (of which the set is part) were inside the pots.
The range comprises a variety of tablewares including tea & coffee sets, salt & pepper pots, toast racks, sauce boats, serving dishes, coasters, cocktail mixers, ice buckets etc.
In fact, we sold the Cylinda-line ice bucket on the website last year.
The collection is beautifully made, very functional and looks fantastic too!
It was awarded the id Prize in 1967 by the Danish Society of Industrial Design and the International Design Award 1968 by the American Institute of Interior Designers.
A really great find to start the new year!
L is for… Lundtofte
We picked up this fabulous vintage stainless steel coffee set last weekend.
That made our minds up about what the letter ‘L’ should be for!
Danish company Lundtofte produced high quality, stainless steel pieces – predominantly kitchen & dining wares, but also some decorative household objects.
They used top quality materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques – stainless steel often combined with teak or rosewood handles and finials.
There are some fantastic mid century modern designs to be found by designers such as Tias Eckhoff, Eric Herlow and Lone Sachs.
