CATCH THE FIREFLY

The best of British design and wood craftsmanship meets Japanese shoji screens in Terence Conran’s newest pieces for his Berkshire-based brand Benchmark Furniture. The ‘Firefly’ sideboard and cabinet have a clean, quadratic design with front panels made not with shoji paper, as used in Japan, but a very fine English porcelain, through which in-built LED lighting glows atmospherically when switched on. Storage and mood lighting in one? We like! £4,875 ( benchmarkfurniture.com).
