Tea Art

Britain-based designer Christopher Jenner recently launched Yixing, a collection of contemporary ceramic homeware at Salone del Mobile Milan in April. Inspired by the rich textures and colours of clay teapots in China, Yixing is made of purple Zisha clay found in the province of Yixing in Jiangsu, China. The material has an excellent ability to retain heat, while tea flavours are absorbed into the natural material of the teaware with each brew. Aside from pots and cups, the range offers storage jars, jugs, vases, plates and bowls.

THE YIXING COLLECTION IS AVAILABLE AT WWW.YIXINGCERAMICS.COM

Savour The Scent

When it comes to creating the right atmosphere at home, one of the key elements is scent. Culti Milano’s Welcome Collection sets the perfect tone with a warm and inviting fragrance. Consisting of hand soaps, hand creams, and home fragrance reed diffusers, The Welcome Collection ensures that you’ll be greeted by the sensual scent of Ode Rosae, or the masculine and invigorating Aqqua, each time you come home. And it’s not just a treat for the olfactory senses, too – the simply designed bottles are topped with natural maple wood caps.

PRICES START FROM $89 FOR A 500ML HAND WASH. THE WELCOME COLLECTION IS AVAILABLE AT ROBINSONS THE HEEREN, OR WWW.CULTI.COM.SG

Jollein Collection, or the printed rugs and pillow cases (in fun colours like yellow and rose) from Belgium label Blushing Rooms – both these brands are now available at children’s furniture boutique Deer Industries. Both parents and kids will also love the scratch-resistant kids’ beds and wardrobes from Dutch brand Kidsmill, which are equipped with soft-close system drawers and various storage options.
