Herend’s Enchanting New Kimono Service
The new Kimono service from Herend is a fine example of Japanese minimalism and symbolises the relationship between the distant island nation and European art.
Â
The service includes six kimono-clad figures, women combing their hair or holding a parasol, samurais and couples; the asymmetrically positioned human characters have been painted with thick contours and strong, calligraphic brush strokes.
The human figures are complimented by the shadows of irregularly shaped trees, birds, fish and dragons; the various motif elements are grouped and appear in different ways on the assorted pieces, some of which have a gold rim decorated with silhouettes of black butterflies and plants.
Â
The skilled craftsmen at Herend paint everything by hand.
Â
Retail price for a teacup and saucer is £96 and a teapot £175.00.

Brabantia’s Revolutionary New Waste Disposal Bin
Brabantia’s new Comfort pedal bin is a revolutionary time saving and environmentally friendly waste disposal solution.
Â
The kitchen bin has an inner bucket with a rubberised folding top, which allows you to press down and compact your rubbish, without getting your hands dirty.

A non-slip base stops the bin from moving and prevents damage to the floor. The inner plastic bucket has special ventilation holes, to prevent a vacuum being created when changing the bin liner; Brabantia supplies extra strong quality bin liners to fit. Capacity 30 litre; Height 660 mm; Diameter 293mm.
The Comfort bin is available from leading retailers, in brilliant steel priced around £61, or fingerprint proof matt steel retailing around £67; it comes with a 10-year guarantee.
