WALLPAPER DISCOVERY
A map wallpaper lends an engaging interest to hallways, cloakrooms and anywhere guests and family members may sit for a while. Find a design with extensive subject matter, such as this world scene, to continue exploring time and again. Latitude wallpaper, £498 a roll, Andrew Martin
LIGHT SCULPTURE
The fluid folds of the sculptural Anders light are made from layers of abaca fibre, a traditional millinery material derived from the banana plant family. Each light is crafted by draping and stitching the material around a central bronze three-way bulb fixing. When illuminated, the light casts a gentle and atmospheric glow. A smaller version of the pendant design is also available, along with a wall light and a floor light with the same style of shade. Anders light, £3,680 (large), Pinch
COLOURFUL DRINKS
Capture the spirit of sunny days by the coast with glassware in a striking design reminiscent of glistening sea glass or sticks of rock enjoyed at the beach. This handblown collection embraces the perfectly imperfect joy of each piece’s uniquely individual colours and shapes. Salty Caramel Stripe Murano Gio Ponti ‘A Canne’-style Italian glasses, £65 each, and carafe, £260, The Edition 94
ENERGISING FABRICS
Swedish pattern designer Cathy Nordström is launching a collection of fabrics inspired by fellow countrywoman and celebrated 19th-century textile artist Karin Larsson and the vibrantly decorated summer house she inhabited. Rölakan (seen on the stool) emulates a geometric flatweave rug, while Karin’s Dress reflects the lively style of Larsson’s clothing, symbolic of her desire not to follow textile trends of the era. Bed linen, Karin’s Dress, Rose, £141 a metre; stool, Karin’s Rölakan, Indigo, £146 a metre, Cathy Nordström
RHYTHMIC PATTERN
Annika Reed’s new wallpaper collection, Dancing Queen, is a jubilant interpretation of the exuberance of dancing channelled into six colourful print designs. The vine-like lines of the motif on this paper bring an almost tangible, natural sense of movement to this kitchen. Each distinctive paper in the range is designed by Reed in Somerset and printed by hand in her London studio. Tetris Garden wallpaper, £170 a roll, Dancing Queen collection, Annika Reed
