Spring haze The Spring Haze collection marries organic unrefined shapes with a neutral colour palette for an uplifting yet calming look inspired by the shifts in light and forms as we move from Winter into Spring. Prioritising comfort and craftsmanship, the collection of pieces rejects the angular shapes of traditional minimalism in favour of soft cocooning silhouettes while tactile textures and curved forms take centre stage, presented through draped textiles, carved stoneware, bobble accents and frosted glassware.

Design mission: Inspired by craft “We continue to be incredibly proud to work with and inspired by the specialist teams of craftspeople and manufacturers who collaborate with our talented in-house designers to develop unique and design-led pieces each season and help us to enrich our products with great stories.

Design details: Kelham Chair “The Kelham Chair was designed to have a soft sketched form, with legs that almost look as though they have grown out of the ground. Its gentle edges are tailored for comfortable lounging, making it an ideal choice for enjoying laid-back summer days.
