Art and Design 10 Dec 2021

Stack it high

The RE-OR candle is inspired by the stacking rings toy and is striking to look at and a playful take on modular design. Created by designers BCXSY in collaboration with David Giordano and good friend of Brummell Tony Chambers, former editor-in-chief of Wallpaper*, there are five different colour combinations to choose from and each hand-crafted candle can be configured in 48 different ways. Hours of fun for all the family! RE-OR candles, £45 each, re-or.co.uk

 

Rock and roll

For the geologist in your life (or that special someone with great taste), these sculptural bookends are a must. Moonstone agate bookends, £210, sweetpeaandwillow.com

 

Tick tock

Stylish yet practical, this abstract clock with swinging brass pendulum will liven up a living room or home office – and has the added bonus of looking a lot more expensive than it is. Levvy pendulum clock, £49, made.com

 

The grapevine

Did you know that Brits pour 50 million litres of wine down the sink annually? Shocked by the scale of wine waste, award-winning British designer Tom Cotton created eto, an innovative (and elegant) decanter that also works as a stopper to preserve the full flavour of the wine over time. A must for any home bar. The eto wine decanter in copper: satin finish, £129, etowine.com

 

A rose by any other name

Although minimalist in design with its silver-plated jar, the rose of Topkapi candle from Turkish-inspired online atelier Haremlique Istanbul will transport you to the romantic rose gardens of the city’s Topkapi Palace. Rose of Topkapi candle, £63, eu.haremlique.com

 


Light up

Flower power

A vase makes a thoughtful gift, with or without flowers. There are myriad styles and colours to choose from, but the elegantly simple curves of this hand-blown glass vase in a smoky amber hue will suit any home. Organic shaped glass vase in amber, £30, fiveanddime-interiors.com

Spill the tea
