Home pick: spring meadow platter from Marks & Spencer

ByLife in Luxury July 22, 2014July 15, 2014

Who? Marks & Spencer What? Sometimes all that’s between food at home and food in a restaurant is great plates. That’s why we love this spring meadow platter from Marks & Spencer. Don’t think the floral design makes a too-delicate-to-use plate, though, as this earthenware plate is dishwasher and microwave safe. Now, who’s cooking dinner? Priced at £15. When?

Who? Jacqueline Hammond What? With such great weather right now, we are revelling in the time to lounge in the sun. That’s why we love the deckchairs designed by Jacqueline Hammond. The one featured above, entitled “Mum’s drive home”, depicts “an atmospheric drive down a winding road from a coastal town in Devon”. There’s something of “anywhere but here” about them and that’s sort of nice, right now. Priced at £99. When? Available now Where? Available online from In-Spaces How? Buy now from www.in-spaces.com

Made in Holland, the lamps come with a porcelain bulb socket, for E27 eco-friendly bulbs, and textile covered cable. Priced at £73,23. When? Available now Where? Available online from Cachette How?
