Design pick: Spectrum multi-coloured wall clock from Habitat

Design pick: Spectrum multi-coloured wall clock from Habitat

Who? Habitat What? Designed by Jon Almond exclusively for Habitat, this Spectrum multi-coloured wall clock is inspired by the Cuisenaire rods used to teach children how to count in units. But we think it reminds us of a conch. Or perhaps abstract art. Or maybe the number six. Either way, we like how it’s open to interpretation. Priced at £40. When? Available now Where?

Design pick: Smythson coffee table from Eichholtz

Design pick: Smythson coffee table from Eichholtz

Who? Eichholtz What? We love the unusual design of this Smythson coffee table from Eichholtz, featuring surfaces of different heights created from oak on a zinc frame. It’s a great addition to the lounge and gives new meaning to the phrase coffee table. Well, who said coffee tables had to be all flat anyway? This one is definitely far from boring. Priced at £1,900.

Design pick: Candle stick shaped candle from Cachette

Design pick: Candle stick shaped candle from Cachette

Who? Cachette What? There’s something quirky about this candle stick shaped candle from Cachette – perhaps that it’s such a familiar make up that it’s almost too uncanny to find out it’s made entirely of wax. But, that’s the charm of it. And it’s available in 12 colours too. Take it to the dinner table and it will surely be a talking point. Priced at €17. When? Available now Where?
