Maker Spotlight: Omaking
Properly cosy, quietly clever and made for slow mornings. Omaking’s lambswool slippers bring warmth, comfort and rather good design to life at home.
From the first coffee of the day to one last trip around the house, these are slippers you may be slightly reluctant to take off.

Fabulous Planning
THE BEAUTY FIND
London Based Brand Batanaful. Fabulous hair & skincare from Kieran Agard.
A hardworking hair ritual from an independent British brand. London-based Batanaful puts Batana oil at the centre of a slower, more considered approach to haircare.
One hero ingredient, one rather handsome jar and a good reason to take your time.
BEAUTIFULLY USEFUL
Refillable amber glass and thoughtfully designed essentials that make the everyday look considerably better. Crafted with purpose and care. Proudly B Corp certified.
Thoughtfully designed and pleasingly practical.
Sustainable soap dispensers from your home and business.
BRITISH DESIGN
UK-based Orsina creates furniture and lighting with a taste for strong silhouettes, rich materials and pieces that know how to hold a room. This is design for people who would rather choose one memorable object than fill a space with things that merely behave themselves.
The result is confident, characterful and just dramatic enough, furniture that feels considered without ever becoming overly serious.
COLOUR, CHARACTER, COMFORT
The Pillow Drop treats cushions as the beginning of a room, not the finishing touch. Bold lettering, playful references and unapologetic colour turn an ordinary sofa into something far more personal.
These are cushions with wit, charm and a pleasing disregard for beige restraint. Add one for a quick lift, or pile them high and let the sofa become the loudest character in the room.
