New kitchenware from Orla Kiely

Posted on | Leave a comment

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.

Sagaform daisy, tulip and clover tea sets

Tulip_sagaform

These Sagaform daisy, tulip and clover tea sets are another easy way to brighten up a kitchen. 

Pictured is the tulip design but the other designs follow the same pattern – 60s-style, bold floral designs on a generously sized mug. As you'd expect the clover cup features a green pattern, while the daisy is in blue – in fact it would go perfectly with the Jonathan Adler tea towel we featured yesterday. 

They're designed by Camilla Engdahl, the designer behind Sagaform's 'retro' tea cup and saucer. These tea cups each come in a metal tin decorated with the same pattern, surely perfect for future biscuit storage use. To complete the set, they also come with a tea ball. 

An ideal gift for a tea lover, they cost £22.23 each.

Birtwell cushion

Celia Birtwell's fabulous designs have become instantly recognisable to a new generation thanks to her collaborations with companies like Boots, Millets and of course Topshop. That looks set to continue with her new range for John Lewis. 

As well as women's clothing, this range also includes homeware. First off the blocks is this Candy floss cushion. It features a distinctively Birtwell pattern of bold flowers, recognisable from her work with Ossie Clark in the 1960s. On the back is a smaller floral design.

Complete with feather pad, the cushion costs £35.

Körsbärsträdgården fabric by Marianne Westman reissued by Almedahls

Almedahls-korsbarstradgarden-scandinavian-fabric

This Körsbärsträdgården fabric is another Marianne Westman design dug out from the archives by Almedahls.

Although the name doesn't exactly trip off the tongue (unless you are fluent in Swedish), the name translates as cherry orchard, perhaps obvious from the charming cherries and cherry blossom visible in the design. 

It's been reissued alongside Picknick to coincide with Westman's 80th birthday and still looks pretty and fresh today. The design is printed onto a 50% linen and 50% cotton mix. 

The fabric costs £29 a metre.

Following on from the success of their 1950s Honesty rug design, this one looks to the Pop style of the next decade for inspiration, with the repeated pattern of the filled zeros and figure eights. The neutral colours keep this tufted wool number a design that could work in a number of interiors. 

Prices are £250 for a 170 x 128cm rug or £475 for 240 x 170cm.
