New + Noted

Looking through the Menu Spring Summer 2015 collection it's fair to say I am in with love everything. When it comes to crisp Scandinavian design and what they describe as "soft-minimalism" Menu continually takes it to the next level, collaborating with designers from around the world, and coming out with exceptionally beautiful products.

Of course I want everything, but right now the Norm Wall Mirror, Peek Table Lamp by Jonas Wagell and Optical Candlestick by StokkeAusgad would make my heart and home sing. 

A recent Instagram discovery (with an exquisite feed and impressive following), Another Feather is run by Portland-based designer and jeweller Hannah Ferrara. Inspired by her travels, simplistic design, ancient relics, and an appreciation for well made objects and heirlooms, Another Feather includes handcrafted metal made jewellery and simple everyday adornments paired down to their most minimal forms. If like me you're a less-is-more kind of girl, her designs which are often described as ‘jewellery for the non-jewellery wearer’ will really appeal.

It's so much fun this time of year seeing all the new collections emerge, and these talented Danish brands certainly keep us on the edge of our seats. The Ferm Living Spring Summer 2015 collection is bright and cheerful, with some highly covetable pieces, such as the stunning black and white Kelim Rug and must-have homewares like these gorgeous pots.

Having gained a dedicated following and earned its reputation as a coveted beauty essential overseas, bkr, the beautifully sleek glass water bottles have arrived in NZ! Now available from Paper Plane, bkr was created by two San Francisco based friends and lawyers, Tal Winter and Kate Cutler, who as intelligent, fashionable, cultured women realised they were drinking out of cheap, disposable plastic water bottles. Wanting something clean, clear, soft and beautiful that felt like a couture accessory and not camping equipment, bkr was born. Each glass bottle comes in a silicone sleeve, which looks gorgeous in every colour. I'm currently deciding which one to choose. Shop the range at Paper Plane.
