Rosendahl And Lin Utzon’s New Confetti Glassware

Rosendahl and Lin Utzon have introduced a new range of vases, bowls and votive candle-holders in colours that are a salute to nature.
 
The gorgeous shapes and colours in the Confetti range have turned Lin Utzon’s hand-blown glass bowls, vases and votives into collector’s items.
 
In the new Confetti collection, the designer has toned down the bright colours and introduced some brand-new ones; including lime, white and transparent green in new combinations.
 
The saturation and clarity of these colours is tempered with a discreet, soft matt finish that doesn’t prevent the colours from working in their own right; they also put nature centre-stage when flowers and twigs are put in the vases.
 
Lin Utzon explains the working philosophy behind her new colours and colour blends “You have to co-operate with nature and not try to bring it to heel or dominate it. This is true even if you have to start with the mild form of violence that can be inherent in taking nature out of its genuine surroundings and bringing it indoors.”

Retail prices:
Confetti bowl 18 cm  £36.95
Confetti bowl 24 cm  £54.95
Vase 16 cm £36.95
Votive 8 cm £16.95

A Welcome And Novel Organic Wasp Trap From Menu

Nothing is quite so annoying as nosy, aggressive and forever-hungry wasps on the prowl, just as you sit down in the garden to enjoy brunch or the delights from the barbecue; we simply want to eat our meal in peace and safety!

Designer Pernille Vea has taken up the challenge by creating the Organic Wasp Trap; the trap attracts wasps by using a simple blend of sugar and vinegar, to such an extent that they completely ignore the family’s garden table.

The funnel-shaped hole in the wasp trap acts like a fish lock in; once the wasp is inside it cannot escape; to empty the trap, simply remove the funnel, which also acts as a stopper.

Royal Copenhagen’s Jumping Frogs For Good Luck

Royal Copenhagen’s Jumping Frogs For Good Luck

Kiss the frog and receive good luck – but no promise of a handsome prince!

Throughout history, the frog has been the bearer of good luck, joy, happiness and change. Now four new frogs from Royal Copenhagen will continue this fine tradition.
 
Sculptor Allan Therkelsen, designed the 10 cm tall jumping frog and has given each frog its own special personality and characteristics: The green frog is a symbol of true happiness; happiness for the frog’s chosen companion; a happy life, a happy love, a happy journey and not least a happy birthday.  The golden frog is a symbol of good fortune and dreams; dreams of the awaken kind; the dreams of that special person who deserves to have all of them come true.  The blue frog is a symbol of pure harmony; harmony in its purest form; harmony in love, at home, at work and in leisure time, or simply, in all of life’s melodies. The white frog is a symbol of the heart’s voice; everything it says is wrapped in love; it doesn’t have to say a lot, while, on the other hand, it can also get away with saying just a little too much.

The gold frog retails at £57.50 and the others are £46.00.
