We were always quite enamoured with
the Land of Topsy-Turvy at the top of
Enid Blyton’s Faraway Tree, and we
have to wonder whether Norwegian
designerIngrid Aspenfeels the same.
After all, her Bottoms Up glassware
range would be right at home in the
upside-down world: they can be stacked
this way and that in a colourful tower,
and, depending on their orientation,
could hold a generous glass of vino or
a more modest nightcap. Scandinavian
simplicity with a dash of magic.

These lovely dangly bits are called the
Nelipot earrings (meaning ‘someone who
walks around barefoot’) and they’re inspired
by a winding, pebbly path in Wellington that
designer Sophie Parsons plods when things
get a bit too much. Each pair of earrings in
her collection expresses a feeling or reflects
a fleeting moment in time, and we reckon
that’s pretty heckin’ nice. To see more

Normally rumours make us feel a bit on edge, like we might stumble
across some damning information we don’t know what to do with. On the
other hand, the latest collection from Melbourne homeware aficionados
Sage x Clare, Rumah, makes us feel snuggly and warm and rather
trouble-free. ‘Rumah’, in this case, means ‘home’ in Indonesian, which
is quite fitting, because we’d like to add their goodies to our own abodes
ASAP. If you feel the same way, simply head on over to sageandclare.com
and have a looksee.
