All in Product Features
Wedgwood pottery is a personal favourite. Considering it’s legacy began over 260 years ago, this heritage brand is so in-line and in-tune with modern day luxury, not only with their product offering but also their branding and styling across their website and social channels. I think they’ll have the ‘New Heritage’ audience hooked.
For a while now, I’ve wanted to create my own magazine pages, curating what I believe to be an important mix of items, and showing how my love for the fashion, colours and shapes that I’m drawn to has a direct influence on my home interior choices. And I think what we see on the catwalk, guides a lot of us when it come to interior design.
When artist, maker and creative producer, Sally Gilford asked me if I’d like to photograph her cushions in my home, I jumped at the opportunity. Shooting these sumptuous colourful creations amongst my own favourite pieces was absolute play-time and it gave me the opportunity to learn about each pattern and exactly where they derive from.
With flexible working becoming more opportune, and in a lot of cases mandatory since the Covid outbreak, we’ve had to evaluate how and where we set up our work stations each day in order to concentrate, be comfortable and most importantly, able to disconnect from it all when ‘leaving work’. So where possible, it pays to have a designated area at home that’s set up specifically for work.
And now as I’m flicking through the current magazines and researching what’s new in my favourite stores online, we’ve arrived at an object that will remind us of walks along the beach, holidays and souvenirs, yes the new micro trend is shells.
The Covid-19 pandemic enforced new rules upon us, mainly to spend at lot more time at home to keep ourselves, each other and the NHS as safe as possible. For many of us, being at home has heightened our appreciation for our surroundings and put a whole new importance on the space we occupy.
‘Damn Cool’ will be a features board where you can check out the extra cool pieces that really jump out at me, the ones that I feel the need that you MUST see, and if nothing else, to impart what’s in my brain and give the magazine features editor within me an excuse to play!
