Hansgrohe Axor Starck X Bathroom (below) Axor Starck X from Hansgrohe Designed by Philippe Starck for Hansgrohe, the Axor Starck X collection of mixer taps and matching fittings is based on reduced design contours with no frills, which conflict with tangible opulence to produce an outstanding collection where nothing is conventional or ordinary. The single-lever mixer tap comes in a perfect geometrically-cut cuboid form which is operated by a precisely formed joystick lever that adds a sense of spirituality to the simple ritual of washing. Water gushes from the tap in a waterfall style as if through the crevice of a rock. The even, smooth surface in polished chrome matches the pure geometry of the body of the tap, presenting the highest standard of design and precision quality manufacturing. Available in four heights, the single lever basin mixer is designed to fit with various basin options, each has the same wide head which hides the view of its base and seems to hover freely above the sink like a plateau. There is also a wall-mounted basin mixer in coordinating geometric design. Philippe Starck has also worked with Duravit to produce a matching collection of basins, WCs, bidets, baths and shower trays to enable a completely co-ordinated Starck X designed bathroom. £432 hansgrohe.co.uk

& shades

e have been spoilt recently with some Mediterranean style weather. Many of us soaking it up and relishing in the hot climate but there are still some of us that require a little

shade, in fact as we all know it’s not good for us to sit under the bare rays of the sun. In this article we take a look at some of the stylish and new ideas for constructing manmade shade in our gardens.

Algarve Louvered Canopy Sussex landscaping and garden experts, Garden House Design have this simple and practical terrace covering which offers a sun-protection and waterproof roof system, equipped with rotating aluminium blades. The extruded aluminium blades rotate up to 150 degrees and thus enable you to decide how much sunprotection and/or ventilation you require. When closed, the blades form a waterproof roof in normal showers. A gutter system drains the rainwater away towards the columns. Given its elegant and light design and availability in the full range of RAL colours, the Algarve® fits in with any building style: contemporary, traditional or modern. They can be mounted in various ways: stand alone, fitted to an outside wall or built into an existing opening. They can also be equipped with lights, heating columns and flat panel speakers. Various sizes available.

30 STYLISTA

across, made in waterproof Airtex with polyester ‘flags’, and a 4cm thick powder-coated stainless steel pole. Available in two heights. Inspired by summer and flowers, the Bloom parasol is available only in red and white as shown with a red round base.

Alternative images, including cutaways, available. Dimensions: 300cm across x 240cm high 300cm across x 240cm high From £1,830.00 £1,830 gomodern.co.uk

Kookaburra Square Blue Sail Shade The Kookaburra 3.6m Square shade is a high density polyester (160gsm) sail shade and protects you from the sun all day long.

Most shade sails are made of knitted fabric. This means that there are small holes in the fabric allowing a certain amount of hot air to escape. In extreme heat, this can be an important benefit. However, there is a cost. The harmful UV light also comes through holes. Because of the holes, knitted shade sails rarely give more than 90% UV protection. Although 90% sounds quite impressive, it means that 10% of the dangerous light gets

through. If your child sits under a knitted sail shade for 10 hours, it would be the same as sitting under the direct sun, completely unprotected, for a whole hour.

Kookaburra sail shades are woven, not knitted. This means they have the maximum possible UV protection from a fabric. It also means they are waterproof - ideal for unpredictable weather.

Kookaburra shade sails are independently tested to UPF50+, more than 98% - the maximum UV protection. ÂŁ63.95 primrose.co.uk

The fabulous Pyramid Ivory Shade Sail is made from 160GSM polyester it will help to keep you dry, as it is water resistant UPF33 and blocks 96% of the

sun’s harmful UV rays. The Large canopy provides long shadows to relax under A powder coated steel pole ensures durability and strength of the pole.

Ventilation windows help to keep you cool and prevent build up of moisture. The detachable pole is disassembled into several sections, so that it neatly

Review macwet gloves Being keen gardeners and outdoorsy types Stylista Homes we were only too delighted to review the amazing new MacWet Glove.

MacWet gloves are the ‘all grip, no slip’ technologically advanced gloves. They promise an unrivalled grip in all weather conditions, performing just as superbly when wet as when dry.

Perfect gloves for any activity that requires strong grip, from work activities, driving, dog walking and beyond, their high quality range will ensure you don’t slip when it matters the most!

The breathable, all-purpose MacWet sports gloves offer a comfortable fit and the performance you desire with their short or long cuff ranges in their Micromesh or warming Climatec glove. Take your game to the next level with groundbreaking fabrics that enhance your gripping power.

Most gloves on the market today

38 STYLISTA

are bulky and uncomfortable, causing a negative impact on your movements. MacWet’s unique Aquatec fabric responds to moisture and climate charge, giving maximum grip, sensitivity, feel and comfort at all times, no matter how wet or humid. The only glove of its kind, MacWet products are currently being used in 35 varied sports, which require the unparalleled grip of the gloves in a variety of weather conditions. The MacWet glove marks a turning point in glove technology with characteristics that ensure user comfort, durability and performance MacWet gloves use innovative technology to ensure that their grip stays strong in various environments. Any moisture on the skin is wicked to the outside of the material as a result of the breathable palm fabric. The moisture is then used to increase grip, therefore, regardless of humidity, perspiration or precipitation, comfort and grip are never compromised.

In use, MacWet gloves dry naturally within 5-10 minutes, adjusting to the climate, keeping grip and sensitivity consistent.

The vast range of sizes allow you to find a glove that fits like a second skin. This skintight fit allows for fine adjustments of equipment without the need to remove the gloves.

The brand currently offers two high quality ranges in fourteen sizes – both available in short or long cuff lengths. MacWet’s original mesh glove which is available in six different colours has been specifically designed to aid circulation around the hand.

The new Climatec glove range is available in four different colours and has been developed to offer protection from the elements. The fleece lined material increases the warmth and comfort of the glove.

Because you are able to buy your exact size, these really do “fit like a glove” pardon the pun! The durable fabric is tough enough to withstand a hard days gardening and they really do keep your hands ever so dry without getting sweaty. The Stylista Homes team highly recommends the MacWet glove particularly if you’re looking for a glove that is long lasting and gives you the maximum protection and maximum grip in all weathers.

The high quality gloves are durable and machine washable making them a long lasting investment at £27.99. Available from www.macwet.com
