A Floral Frenzy

Ele — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 09:34:56 +0000

Around this time of year design blogs become inundated with talk of “looking forward to Spring” and adoring “bright, happy colours”. I usually don’t participate in this; I hate to break it to you, but we still have months of winter ahead of us.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m immune to pretty, cheerful products. The high street is awash with florals these days, and no matter how far away Spring may actually be, they’re helping to keep a smile on my face. Check out some of my favourite floral-inspired pieces:

1. I adore Marks & Spencer‘s new Elizabeth dinnerware line; such a fresh take on traditional tableware. 2. Always reliable for pretty things, Anthropologie does it again with its After Showers butterfly tea towel. 3. I love this sweet ceramic pig from the V&A shop. It would make a great cookie jar! 4. Blue storage jar from PIP Studio. 5. Liberty oven glove in classic Eloise print. 6. Habitat‘s Concetta Teapot is wonderfully whimsical.

The work of UK-based ceramacist Virginia Graham is insane, not to mention insanely beautiful. I’m loving the whimsical patchwork feeling and all the happy florals. I’ll definitely be looking out for her at Ceramic Art London 2010 at the end of the month.

The bowls especially kill me- aren’t they lovely? Be sure to check out the rest of Virginia’s work in her inspirational gallery.

I’ve got a little extra product-postage for you today, also via Dezeen. This Ceramic Kitchen FM Radio by Israeli company Studio Lama is so gorgeous I couldn’t resist. Resembling retro food canisters with the wooden “lids” as dials, it’s also available with different glazes and motifs. I love the one with the flowers!

See the whole post at Dezeen for more info and photos.
