ASH & PLUMB

There’s a serene beauty to the hand-turned pieces at Ash & Plumb. Lampshades, vases, vessels and bowls made from sheeny wood by this Brighton-based duo of designer-makers reveal whorls in the grain as evident as the whirls created by the lathe the objects have been worked on. The elegant bud vases, perfect for single dried-flower stems, are the brand’s standout. Grouped together, they become an instant art installation, imperfections only adding to their beauty. From around £35, they’re collectable, covetable and the ideal Christmas gift. ashandplumb.co.uk
