Nature-inspired wall clocks
Now available in the UAE (from namshi.com), fragrance and lifestyle brand Peppermint Grove Australia has a range of candles inspired by Australian landscapes. Handpoured into bevelled glass, the candles are made from soy wax and lead-free cotton wicks for a longer, cleaner and environmentally-friendly burn. Available in 15 scents and three sizes (from Dhs80 for 60 gm), we think the freshscented Lemongrass & Lime is perfect for summer.

Looking for a talking point feature for your walls? Made from natural moss found in Scandinavia, which is collected, dried and then preserved, this vertical garden (pictured here in a private home in Landernau, France) by Italian company Moss Trend (mosstrend. com) is just the ticket. Made from preserved roots and foliage as well as moss, it doesn’t require any water or sunlight. We love the fact it looks quite the opposite of zero-maintenance.
