Grace Souky’s beautiful Nourish bowls, spectacula­r scenic wallpapers and bespoke skincare

-

1 DO-GOOD DESIGN

‘Conscious consumptio­n’ gets a literal twist with the launch of Grace Souky’s Nourish bowls; for every one sold, the designer’s chosen charity, LATAM Freedom & Developmen­t Foundation, provides two-weeks’ worth of meals for a Venezuelan child in need. Now that’s what we call food for thought.

2 PORTUGUESE WALLS

’Tis no longer enough to have merely city-breaked in Sintra, Lisbon or Porto; bring a taste of Portugal’s tin-glazed walls home via spectacula­r scenic wallpapers (see Pierre Frey, pictured) and Azulejo-feel tiles (try Claybrook’s Pombaline range and Douglas Watson Studio).

3 WELLNESS WORKS

2020’s answer to the Noughties ‘health farm’? Wellness members’ clubs. New York’s The Well (right) features 18,000 sq feet dedicated to mindful movement, Chinese medicine and health coaching, while Uncommon Liverpool Street’s co-working space has meditation pods and Peloton fitness.

4 CUSTOMISAB­LE SKINCARE

Buckle up as artificial intelligen­ce begins to disrupt the beauty world. Tell new French cosmetics brand Eponyma how much you work, holiday and sleep and it will devise a formula just for you.

5 BANANA FIBRE

AKA Manila hemp – a fully biodegrada­ble textile made from the Abaca plant. See it for yourself at QWSTION, the Swiss brand making commuter-friendly backpacks from its selfdevise­d Bananatex material, and at Pinch – maker of the prettiest pendant and table lights (pictured) in this eco-friendly fabric.
