Jonathan Adler Okura tea caddy

Okura_teacaddy_or

More goodies from the master of colourful home wares, Jonathan Adler with these Okura tea caddys. On one side a white circle is set against a bright background; on the other side the colours are reversed. The Okura range includes co-ordinating dessert and narrower lozenge plates and apparently is inspired by Japanese Modernism but it also looks pretty Pop to me.  

These tea caddies come in the orange shown and yellow, blue or green and cost $28.

Eames Small Dot mugs

Eames small dot
Add some style to your morning cuppa with these Eames Small Dot Mugs. The Small Dot pattern is based on a textile design Ray Eames produced in 1947 for a competition at MoMA. The design looks so quintessentially Eames that it's hard to believe that at the time it didn't go into production, only recently having been reproduced from archive drawings. 

The mugs are available in red, charcoal or orange and cost £7.99 each.
