Industriel furniture collection at Lavender and Sage

Industriel bookcase

If you're looking for some new furniture with a more industrial feel, you may want to take a look at the Industriel collection, new in at Lavender and Sage

The collection looks like it has been taken from a workshop and features a desk, a circular stool and the bookcase pictured, all made from oak and metal. The material has been treated to give it a used feel (so you can pretend it's vintage, rather than purchased from the web): the wood has been patinated and the metal has been greyed and aged. 

A set of two stools costs £170, while the desk is £325 and the bookcase is £425.

Limited edition Quilts stool at the V&A

Quilts

The V&A is currently hosting its Quilts 1700 – 2010 exhibition and as with most exhibitions, offering a selection of associated merchandise too. Which includes this rather smart limited edition Quilts stool.

The shape is very much early 20th century (think Alvar Aalto's Stool 60), with the design on the birch veneer top adapted from a patchwork coverlet of printed cotton and linen with appliqué and embroidery, dating from the early part of the 19th century. Just in case you were wondering.

That top is supported by metal legs and the whole thing is being sold as a limited edition, although it's not clear just how limited it is. Reasonably priced though at £50.
