HAY PAPER PORCELAIN RANGE
“I wish I could buy myself a complete set of these cups and saucers (bottom right). The porcelain’s effect of coarse paper gives them a very tactile appeal with a weight that sits in the hand effortlessly. I love the small details. They’ve been cast and crafted perfectly in fine ceramic – and really are beyond beautiful.” $60 each from Cult. cultdesign.com.au
CUTIPOL GOA BROWN CUTLERY
“The new colour combination of Cutipol Goa flatware by Jose Joaquim Ribeiro with the brown resin handle and highest quality 18/10 stainless steel is reminiscent of ‘70s cutlery but a refined version. The craftsmanship is superior and the weight is perfect.” $360 per set from Francalia. francalia.com.au
FRIENDS & FOUNDERS MARBLEOUS TRAY
“The Marbleous tray (bottom left), designed by Swedish designer Ida Linea Hildebrand, has a matte finish with a beautiful texture throughout the solid marble. I love the soft curves on the edge of the circular form.” $275 from Fred International. fredinternational.com.au CULTIVER NAPKINS “The napkins from Cultiver are made from 100 per cent pre-washed linen and the olive-coloured ones would be the new addition to my linen cupboard, working perfectly with all my navy and charcoal for the cooler months. I love the muted richness of this tone.” $45 from Cultiver. cultiver.com
