The Small Homeware Brands We Love

Vaiselle

French designer Léa Zana is the woman behind tableware brand Vaisselle. While the business is based in London, everything is handmade in Spain, with the brand’s kitchen and decoration essentials inspired by Spanish antique ceramics, but with a colourful twist. Made from local clay and decorated with lead-free paints and natural pigments, everything is produced in small quantities, too.

Society Of Wanderes

As the name suggests, this brand is inspired by the travels of its founder, Briony Delves. Living and designing her nostalgic linen collection in Torquay, on Australia’s surf coast, she takes her cues from the interior styles of the 60s and 70s, resulting in beautifully made, French flax linen pieces. From bold cushions to retro bed sheets, the eclectic colour combinations are completely original.

Founded by couple Rosie and Ant Saunt, the duo aims to provide a high-quality, personalised service for people looking to fill their walls with the beautiful, rare or alternative artwork.

Fenella Designs 

For an unusual, eye-catching range of lampshades, head over to Fenella Design. All her lampshades are hand-crafted in North Yorkshire using materials which are often sourced from multiple places around the world. From wicker to ikat, marble to scallop, every style ticks the style box, – although, for us, the standout has to be the curvy lines of the daisy-shaped shade.

Alice Palmer 

Bored by the lack of options in the lampshade market, Alice Palmer decided to set about making her own.

Soft and pretty, each shade is guaranteed to add colour, texture and pattern to any interior.
