Enamel Whistling Kettle by Riess

Posted on | Leave a comment

Enamelkettle 
If you want the truly traditional experience of making a proper cup of tea, then you really need a kettle that whistles.

This Enamel Whistling Kettle is made by Austria by Riess & Co. It has the traditional rounded shape, but has been specifically designed with a large base, so that the water heats up with the minimum amount of energy. It is actually more energy-efficient than an electric kettle. The kettle gives out a loud whistle when the water boils.

It is finished in white enamel and costs £46.40 from Manufactum.

If you like everything to neatly match, then this is not a product for you.

The Eclectic Cutlery Set is made up of a mismatched selection of knives, forks and spoons, in a range of different styles. The designs include spots, flowers and gingham, with no two being the same to give the overall impression that you’ve collected them individually from markets and second-hand shops.

The sixteen-piece set costs £29.99 from The Contemporary Home.

Retro Male/Female Bathroom Sign

Australian duo Mooza Designs seem to mainly create signs using numbers and letterings, but the item that seems a little different to me is this Retro Male/Female Bathroom Sign.

Admittedly, most of us don’t feel the need to label our loos, but this is quite cute in a kitsch kind of way. The sign is made from acrylic base topped with retro wallpaper, in a wide choice of colours and patterns – most with a 1970s look to them.

The signs cost about £25 (plus postage) and are available from the Mooza Etsy store.

Horm Oblique Cabinet

Posted on | Leave a comment

Oblique 
The Oblique Cabinet is a piece designed by Salvatore Indriolo for Italian company Horm. It has a wood base in either matt black or matt white, with doors in a Canaletto walnut veneer.

This isn’t by an unusual combination, but what makes this design stand out is the way the doors are arranged, set one over the other. It is available in two heights (66cm or 98cm) with the option of either 3, 4 or 5 doors.

Prices range from £1,881 up to £3,683 from Espacio.

Micki Chest of Drawers

The Micki Chest of Drawers is a piece of furniture that should appeal both kids and their style conscious parents.

The unit has a white frame with six turquoise drawers, and is mounted on wheels so it can be easily moved around the room. Whilst it has been designed for children (there is a matching child-sized bed), it could just as easily be put to use in an adults room too.

It costs £291.71 from the Scandinavian Design Center.
