FDB Møbler
Furniture ought to make room for people. That has been their philosophy since 1942, when FDB Møbler was founded, with architect Børge Mogensen heading up the studio. Many new designers have since entered the fold, but the foundational principles remain the same: to create beautiful, functional and exceptionally crafted furniture that makes room for everyday living at home. And that can withstand everyday wear and tear to age gracefully with those who use them. FDB Møbler is internationally known as a frontrunner of Danish design. It’s a story of classic pieces to be passed down from generation to generation. In fact, every new piece of FDB Møbler is born as an heirloom. The values that FDB Møbler was founded upon continue to shape every piece of oak and beech. They are woven into the seats and are upheld in each design, both when our ever-popular classics are reissued from our design archives and when we launch brand new designs. Regardless of whether we are talking about iconic pieces from FDB Møbler’s classic collections or new, innovative designs, the goal is the same: ro have the veritable quality of life that was envisioned when the first pieces of furniture emerged from our studio in 1942.

hobo + co
hobo + co. is an independent home fragrance company based in the back of beyond in rural Lincolnshire, England.

After living away for half her life and having an array of various 'careers' under her belt she found herself back in the Shire. Having grown up driving tractors on the family farm, practical and manual work has always been preferable to sitting in an office! Rachael has always travelled the world from a young age thanks to her parents' wanderlust, which she has most definitely inherited. ‘I've always enjoyed making, creating and interior design. Candle making started back in 2013 and together with inspiration from my travels, living abroad and a love of the outdoors, hobo + co. was born and we are now thrilled to be stocked in various outlets over the globe.’
Karina Klages
Karina Klages Ceramics stands for fine tea ceramics, inspired by traditional Japanese vessels, the technique of wood firing and nature. The artist dares to interpret Japanese tea ceramics by developing traditional forms and combining them with a rough surface or a spontaneous glaze impression. All works are inspired by the aesthetics of wabi-sabi. The beauty ideal ‘sabi’ becomes perfect only with the ‘wabi’ feeling. Wabi does not embody perfect, immaculate, dazzling beauty but one of stillness – a dark, subdued beauty. A beauty of maturity. Glaze application, shapes and haptics of the vessels should invite for viewing. Beauty in stillness.
Ninos Studio
Johnny and Ashleigh Ninos (knee-nos) met in 2003 while studying art at Alfred University, receiving their respective BFAs in sculpture and painting. With a collective passion for making things, paired with a diverse set of skills under their belts, they continued creating work post-college while teaching in the visual arts for over ten years. In 2018, they decided to take their work to a new collaborative level, fusing their love for designing well-crafted objects for hands, the home and the wall. Ninos Studio was born. With practiced hands and equal value placed on form and function, Ninos Studio offers heirloom designs that are as loved by their owners as they were in process.
Northern
Picture the North. Rugged landscapes and clear blue waters, dramatic horizons reflected in breathtaking fjords. A place filled with talent and imagination, always ready to inspire new ideas in design. It’s where creative expression meets traditional craft, and where pale beauty is coupled with rough-cut contrasts. Inspirations such as these are sparking new directions for design. This is what Northern was established to pioneer. The Northern brand was born in the studios of Northern Lighting, where a team of creatives has been illuminating lives for the past twelve years. We combine beauty with functionality, preferring natural materials and genuine craftsmanship. Furniture and interior accessories are a natural fit for what we do, enabling us to express our characteristic style on a whole new scale.
Pacha Design
Sammy and Glenn are a design/make partnership based on the North Devon/North Cornwall coast, creating furniture, objects and spaces from locally sourced, reclaimed and sustainable resources. Their work evolves from a simplistic, uncomplicated approach to design and the materials that we use, combining pared down aesthetics with the Japanese view of wabi-sabi, beauty in imperfection. ‘We love the natural rawness of oak, stone and metal and use these elements to produce work that incorporates clean lines, abstract shapes and a modern aesthetic. We carefully hand select all of our materials.’ By using reclaimed and sustainable ‘real’ materials, mean that no two pieces will ever be the same – some pieces have subtle differences, others are completely unique. Everything they make is created with mindfulness and intention. All work is designed and made by them in their workshop and studio in Welcombe.
Popalini & Jezando
Popalini & Jezando make collaboratively designed, wheel-thrown pots: stoneware teaware and slipped terracotta tableware.

We aim to create significant design in collaboration with great creatives worldwide.’ The design and passion-driven company is based in Copenhagen.
Viv Lee
Viv Lee makes vessels as a response to exploring the materiality of clay and the metaphor of body as vessel. Working with stoneware and terracotta, Viv utilises slow hand building techniques like pinching and coiling in the process of making. Drawn to the meditative properties of these techniques and influenced by Zen Buddhism, the analytical mind is put aside in the moment of making in favour of the intuitive body and the phenomenological experience of clay. The vessels are glazed in a palette of whites, natural earthy tones or left unglazed to show the body of the clay. Adopting a neutral palette allows the formal aspects of the pieces to stand out, emphasising the primary connection of both body and vessel to the primordial body, Mother Earth. Embracing the diversity of forms that emerge, including the flaws and inaccuracies that are in harmony with the wabi-sabi concept, each vessel is unique.
