New kitchenware from Orla Kiely

Ok teapot

As regular readers of this site will know, the world of Orla Kiely has been busy as of late, with the launch of her perfume as well as the Pattern book . Here's more new product, with a fantastic new range of kitchenware

The range moves far beyond mugs and includes most things required for a stylish kitchen: from bread bins to casserole dishes, sugar bowls to gratin dish, as well as the beautiful teapot pictured above. The teapot, and many of other wares, are decorated with her poppy meadow pattern, while several other of the new products use the linear stem pattern – a simplified version of her famous design.

Not released for sale just yet, it's available for pre-order at Heal's. Prices range from £15 for sugar bowl up to £50 for the teapot.

1930s-style Niven armchair and footstool at Heals

Inven

New in at Heals is this Niven armchair and footstool, unmistakably inspired by the 1930s.

Love that sloping back and angled arms, not to mention those straight edges, all derived from a hardwood frame, with support from high-resilience foam and hollowfibre cushions. That upholstery is brown semi-aniline leather.

£995 gets you the armchair, with the footstool sold separately – that goes for £450.

1960s-style large curve floor lamp at Marks and Spencer

Curve

You can go to Heals and pick up  a classic 1960s Arco floor lamp by Achille Castiglioni, or you can save some cash and go for the same 'look' with this large curve floor lamp at Marks and Spencer.

Obviously there are differences, not least in the bulk of the base and the amount of curve offered. But with almost £1,300 between the two price tags, who is complaining? The M&S version has a marble base, a 'bubble' design shade and a body of chromed steel, with a switch on the cable for control.

The whole thing stands at 179cm tall, which is around 6ft. So mail order is probably the way to go! If you do want it, the curve floor lamp is available online, selling for just £85.

Leonhard Pfeifer Sideboard

Housesideboard_m

The Heal’s House range includes this Sideboard designed exclusively for the store by Leonhard Pfeifer.

It has been designed to work well in smaller rooms, measuring 113cm wide x by 45cm deep. Heal’s describe it as being perfect for modern living, but being a walnut sideboard, it inevitably has a certain mid-century look to it.

The sideboard costs £495 from Heal’s.
