John Lewis summer folk bowls

Posted on | Leave a comment

Summer folk

Wanting to entertain in style once the sun comes out again? Take a look at John Lewis's summer folk bowls. Made from melamine, they're ideally suited for a spot of outdoor entertaining.

However, it's the colour and the design that really attracted us. As their name might suggest, the style looks towards the Scandinavian folk look. More specifically, the pattern is reminiscent of the Cathrineholm Lotus pattern of the 1960s, executed in bright, eye catching colours that are perfect for sunny days. 

A large bowl costs £4.80, while you can buy a small bowl for £2.40.

’50s style tea towel from H&M

Elde tea towel

It's a classy piece of design which looks like it would be more at home on the wall than in the kitchen but in fact this '50s style tea towel is from H&M. 

Designer Anna Karin-Elde has depicted two ceramics, drawn in a sketchy fifties style. The simple design is then printed onto 100% organic cotton. 

You'd expect H&M to be cheap but in fact this design is on sale so it's even more of a bargain, costing just £3.49.
