THE EDIT
Editor-at-Large Kate Freud shares the new products and brand discoveries that have caught her eye this month
In Full Bloom
British printmaker and textile designer Molly Mahon’s fabrics are known for adding a touch of colour and fun to a room, and none more so than her gorgeous new collection Bloom. Her designs have often been inspired by nature over the years, with highlights of this range including the beautiful blowsy Dahlias available in a vast colour palette, and the intricate Mughal, a celebration of blooms seen in miniature paintings during Molly’s travels to India. With the chequer and stripe styles thrown in for good measure, these designs have spring and summer covered. mollymahon.com
Bright Idea
Since George Cowardine invented the first Anglepoise lamp in 1932, the design has gained iconic status, recognised globally for its simple yet effective ‘anthropomorphic’ form. Always keen to remain at the cutting edge of British design, in recent years, the brand has teamed up with everyone from Paul Smith to Margaret Howell to add a touch of fun to the classic style. Its latest collaboration is with the conservation charity the National Trust, with the Buttermilk Yellow colourway adding to the Sage Green style from their previous collaboration in 2021, available as a Mini Table Lamp, Desk Lamp and Floor Lamp. anglepoise.com

Spring Watch
With spring well and truly upon us, what better time to invest in a beautiful sculpture for the garden? For a truly eye-catching work of art, look to James Parker, the Fife-based, self-taught sculpture artist, who has won several awards with his signature stacked slate and glass designs. This is set to be a very exciting year for Parker with the launch of two new sculptures, namely Leaf, available in mirrorpolished stainless steel and bronze, and Pine Cone in bronze. As their names suggest they are inspired by nature and the remarkable art forms found in the natural world. Both are set to be unveiled at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show. jamesparkersculpture.co.uk

Dive In
Button & Sprung was founded with the aim of making bed and mattress-buying a better experience, and the company does just that. All models are handmade with care, and available as divans, bed frames and ottoman storage beds, in an array of luxury fabrics, or a client’s own for something bespoke. Teaming them with Button & Sprung’s luxurious pocket-sprung mattresses (there are nine to choose from) will make going to bed irresistible. Its Jasmine bed (above) and its latest design, the Wisteria, are perfect for a spring refresh. buttonandsprung.com
