WHEN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING MEETS JEWELLERY DESIGN, magical things happen. Glasgowbased designer, maker and researcher Lynne MacLachlan’s work is a celebration of movement and colour. It’s also a careful study of geometry, the structure of the helix, and a masterclass in how to use 3D printing as a tool to create wearable works of art. Visit Lynne’s website to shop the new Helix collection and read more about her research. www.lynnemaclachlan.co.uk

ELEVATE THE HUMBLE GARDEN BENCH from forgotten workhorse to design feature by investing in this cobalt blue beauty from Habitat. With its sleek curves and powdercoated steel slats, the Indu bench is a contemporary update on a classic design. It has the making of both a bold piece on an urban patio, or a fun graphic addition to a rambling cottage garden, nestled among the alliums and climbers. Now all we need is sunshine... www.habitat.co.uk
10 green bottles (at least) were used in the making of this recycled polyester cushion. And, with texture, asymmetrical fringing, and outside durability, the new Way series from Ferm Living just keeps on giving. Bag the matching rug and mat for all your al fresco needs. www.fermliving.com
GO BOLD WITH DEEP INKY BLUES AND A VELVETY MATT FINISH, courtesy of chalk paint queen Annie Sloan. The name synonymous with upcycling, minimal prep and heritage colours now has a new treat for us –Oxford Navy. A rich indigo colourway, it’s inspired by Annie Sloan’s Oxford headquarters and “the ink of generations of students’ fountain pens”, as well as the saturated blue of traditional India block printing. Paint a full room for impact, or add a pop of colour with a small piece of furniture. www.anniesloan.com

FASHION
“QUIET BUT PLAYFUL, SIMPLE –BUT NEVER ORDINARY” IS THE MOTTO of Danish company Konges Sløjd. With a dreamy mix of cotton, muslin, florals and soft frills, the brand really is doing it for the kids. Designed with functionality and simplicity at the fore, their clothing is playable, durable and intended to inspire little minds. Even their use of GOTS certified organic cotton and what they call ecological justifiability is with children in mind: the earth belongs to them, says Konges Sløjd. We love the warm mix of mustard, rust and dusky blues. www.kongessloejd.dk
