31 October 2024

The latest from Tom and our talented team...
logbook

Balmy Autumn evening barefoot beach walks with flasks of hot chocolate, and al fresco dinners draped with a cosy blanket are about to be the backdrop for the next few months. As we immerse ourselves in nature’s most comforting season, our homes become the home base for post adventure movie nights and morning coffee catch ups in golden hour.

It has been a pleasure reflecting on our shining summer as we curate this logbook for you, with excitement building with what is to come. Whilst we soak up as much summer sun as we can, let’s explore what the past few months have held for Tom and the team as we continue our journey of sustainable, timeless design…

Atori Lighting Range

The Atori Lighting Range embraces Japandi aesthetics through its intricate dowel designs, unique profiles, and mesmerising layers of light and shadow. Inspired by the Japanese expression ‘Oubaitori,’ each piece symbolizes the unique journey of life, reminding us that beauty unfolds in its own time.

Wonderfully Wireless

Mirroring the moon’s gravitational pull over the tide, the Neap Wireless Wall Light’s wooden silhouette showcases continuity. The Wireless Neap provides a rechargeable and cordless option that’s both elegant and functional.

The Slumber Science

How to soothe your senses as you drift away…


Taste. Brew your favourite cup of calming tea around 60 minutes before you want to sleep, to kickstart a calming bedtime routine.

Sight. Put any screens down and turn on your ambient lighting - dimmable table or wall lights are a great way to ensure your sanctuary has a soothing glow.

Touch. Cosy furnishings, such as our wool throw and sheepskin cushions, add layers of comfort to your sleep space.

Smell. Surround your senses with calming scents as you begin your evening ritual. Our range of luxury scented candles evoke nature’s calm, making them the perfect evening aroma. (Just remember to extinguish before climbing into bed).

Sound. Whether white noise or complete silence helps you snooze, the perfect soundscape allows your brain to relax, allowing you to get a refreshing rest.

By the seashore

Lighting designs to evoke coastal calm…

 

Cape Wall Light. Handcrafted timber peaks and barrels redefine the concept of coastal. In its folds, light gathers and shadows are cast, creating focus and atmosphere.

Urchin Table Light. Flexed to the brink then fixed into an organic sphere inspired by sand-combed shells, our Urchin Table Light brings atmosphere in abundance.

Shore pendant. A soothing interpretation of barrelling waves, the Shore’s enveloping sustainably sourced timber is hand curved to provide a wooden lampshade that is different from every angle.

Drift Pendant. Casting shadows that seamlessly float and settle in buoyant tranquillity, the Drift Pendant creates a light show that disperses softly; rippling, cresting and breaking around the room, then pooling in tidal calm.

Coastal evenings call for sandy toes, tasty picnics, and Pentire Drinks. Fuelled by a love for nature and active, outdoor living, we share many passions with Pentire. We caught up with founder, Alistair Frost to talk about our shared love for the outside world, sustainability and their exciting success…

TR: What’s the best thing about surrounding yourself and working with nature daily?

AF: “So, for us we’re distilling botanicals that are native to our coastline into healthy spirits which are then sold into the best retailers and served by the best bartenders around the world. So, the best thing about it is that we get to add a healthy angle into the drinks industry. Plus, the community we’re building of like-minded people that love to feel great every single day”.

TR: Is sustainability important to you and your growing brand?

AF: “Surfing is my main thing to do outside of work and has always been a leading passion of mine. So naturally spending a lot of time in the ocean you’re experiencing first-hand the impact of everything. It’s pretty shocking how much plastic and micro plastic is on the beach and in the water. It’s important to us that we keep working on having a positive impact all the time”.

TR: As designers, we love hearing about other people’s interior style, what makes your house a home?

AF: “A simple, calming outdoor-indoor feel with heaps of natural light. Lots of negative space, whites and natural wood. Wonderful”.
