Snug life
Maker & Son is the brainchild of Alex Willcock and his son, Felix Conran – the grandson of the late Sir Terence. Their debut Song range, which comprises love seats, chaises and sofas in various shapes and configurations, has been hailed as the ‘most comfortable sofa in the world’. The design duo use only natural materials with a focus on craftsmanship, a timeless aesthetic and ultimate comfort. And, ingeniously, we can try out the pieces via a fleet of stylishly fitted out vans, or mobile showrooms, that come to us.
Bubble up
As our attention turns to relaxed indoor/outdoor dining this May, Polkra’s new coloured glassware hits all the right notes. Simple, stylish and sustainable, these artisanal tumblers are handblown using recycled glass and boast an arresting visual texture, each with hundreds of little air bubbles that beautifully catch the light. Choose from Apple Green, Pearl White, Garnet, Almond Shell and French Turquoise – or mix and match for a truly laid-back look. £42, set of six (polkra.com)

Luxury lounging
Get funky
Ready to wear brand Taller Marmo launches its debut homeware collection this May, exclusively at MATCHESFASHION. Inspired by a year of staying at home, and the intimate indoor gatherings so soon on the cards, designers Yago Goicoechea and Riccardo Audisio envisioned a typical Taller Marmo woman in her fabulously bohemian surrounds. The collection includes huge, exquisitely handembroidered floor cushions, made in Como, Italy, and just like the luxury kaftans on offer, we can expect bold colours and sumptuous textiles.
While raising three small children, Sadie Sillett spent 10 years working as a professional cleaner before founding The Funky Appliance Company with husband Joe in 2016. Playfully exaggerating mid-century lines, Sadie’s small appliances go beyond retro and into the realms of retrofuturism. The Funky iron, toaster and kettle have already caused a stir amongst design lovers, we’re told there’s also plans for a Funky microwave and Funky air fryer this year. Fun and highly functional.
