Pony Rider

Ok so Pony Rider has been around for a while in magazines and just everywhere so I've already been convinced of their products beauty... But on Tuesday I saw the large Dark Forest King Throw in the flesh (we used it in a magazine shoot) and now i can't stop dreaming of the industrial yet romantic designs... Some favourites below...

T Design

T Design is the jewellery and graphic design studio of Sydney designer Tania Gnecchi Ruscone. Tania spent her childhood between Milan and Sydney and grew to appreciate unique design inspired by the sea, stones and pebbles. Tania's simple handmade pieces are the type of jewellery that could be worn with any type of outfit. And for handmade work they are really well priced!

T2 & Mud

So one of my absolute favourite Australian ceramic designers/makers; Mud have created a range of handcrafted teawares specifically for the shop T2. The range is everything you'd expect from the artisans at Mud including the trademark shiny glazed interiors and raw stone-like exterior. The teaware comes in orange, slate, baby blue and pale pink. I am definitely keen to get my hands on the creamer and some cups and saucers...

The Home-Journal

Today is very exciting for me as I have been included as a contributor at a fairly new blog (soon to be online magazine) called The Home-Journal. The Home-Journal was founded by Dani Wales (as in Dani from couple Dan and Dani on The Block) as a way to continue working with her love for design.

The magazine will feature articles about interior trends and products, places to go, interviews with inspiring creatives and much more. Be sure to check out the site and sign up for the daily articles sent by email.

Imogen Heath

Imogen Heath is one of UK's most exciting new textiles designers. Her bright and elegant designs are created in Imogen's studio and then produced either by hand or in British mills. She describes her design process as being:
‘all about retaining the same feeling of excitement and Joy that comes to me when I have an idea for a pattern, or when I draw something for the first time. I hope that by successfully taking these feelings through to the finished piece I can somehow bring that same delight into people’s surroundings’.

Something else I recently discovered through Imogen's blog is that she is related to interiors stylist and author Amanda Talbot (previously Amanda Heath)! Turns out they are sisters-in-law!

Anyway, if you're interested to find Imogen's products in Australia, click here.

Jon Thom

So i recently found out about New Zealander Jon Thom over at Studio Home and had to show you! His artwork is perfect. I can't explain why they are great... i think its the rawness seen through the greyscale and the emotions of the peoples faces he creates... eh just watch the video. It's great.

Ontwerpduo

Completing their studies at the Design Academy in 2008, Dutch design duo Tineke Beunders and Nathan Wierink couldn't wait to get their creations into the marketplace. Known as 'a dreamer and a mathematician', the duo work with simplicity as the key as Tineke's wistful approach blends perfectly with Nathan's mathematical line of attack.
Here's a look at some of their quirky and inspiring work.

Cottage Town - where ordinary potplants are turned into a mini village of huge trees or fields. 


Light Forest - custom made lighting that 'grows where other lights will not go' for on the ceiling or walls.


Cageling - "quietly daydreaming in your own space, but not sealed from the surroundings. Swinging with your toes in the grass, and your back against a soft pillow. Not captured, but free as a bird."


Rockid - a rocking chair and cradle in one.

Craft Victoria

Craft Victoria has the cutest selection of locally made products. Some of my favourites are necklaces by Emily Green or the mobiles by Made by Mosey (which i have written about here). 
Recently I was having a browse through the accessories and discovered three different types of coin purses that are just gorgeous! The Mingus Purses are screen printed, Mittoo uses digital prints and original weavings to create their retro, patchwork style of purse, and Scotatto hand screen print onto leather to create their bold designs.
