i love lamp
It’s true, we really do
love lamp – or at least,
this sleek, triangular
FORM lamp from
Melbourne-based clever
clogs Milligram Studio
and One Design Office.
Coming in at $129,
it’s part of Milligram’s
first-ever lighting
collection, which also
includes cylindrical and
rectangular lamps in
three snazzy colours.
(Weirdly, they’re kind of
giving us flashbacks to
watching Play School
and deciding which
shape window to look
through.) If you like
what you see – or just
need help to see –
they're available over
at milligram.com
itts off!
Huzzah and hurrah! We
have four of these Garden
Grows oven mitts (worth
$16 each) to give away,
so if you fancy snagging
one for all your hot-dish-
carrying needs, head to
frankie.com.au/win and
we’ll see what we can
do. They’re designed by
Brisbane watercolour
artist Rachael King,
inspired by local
flora and the dreamy
Queensland light, and
they’re – quite obviously- lovely as heck. You
can find them, and
loads more neat stuff,
at rachaelking.com.au
a little bit sneaky
It’s easy to forget about our poor old tootsies, what with them
residing all the way down near the ground. But how do you
show them you appreciate all that hopping, skipping and
traipsing about? Until they learn to read, a love letter just
won’t do, but perhaps wrapping them up in these metallic
lovelies from TWOOBS will do the trick. Their new design, the
TWOOBS Sneaky (rrp $189.95), comes in three ace hues with
a textured frill or two, and we happen to think they’re pretty
neat. So much so that we're giving two pairs away - head to

a bit of banter with pickle darling
Describe your music in three words. Kitschy, intimate,
homemade. What’s a Pickle Darling gig like? We play quietly
and the audience is usually sitting on the floor. My live
bandmates Marcus Burton and Cameron Finlay harmonise
beautifully and it’s super-comforting to sing between them.
Marcus usually tells the same joke at every show. Describe the
places you record music. I pretty much record everything in my
bedroom with one mic, except for when I’m recording quotes
from films, in which case I bring my mic to the lounge and put
on a DVD and point my mic at the TV. If you call it ‘lo-fi’ you can
get away with anything. What makes you happiest? At the end
of every week, I go for a super-long walk around my suburb.
That’s when I get all my thinking done: my lyrics, music video
ideas, album covers. I’ll steal song titles or lyric ideas from
street names, park names or advertisements I pass. If you
could redo a film’s soundtrack, which would it be? Humpday.
In an early part of my live set, we’d play a section of the film’s
dialogue on a boombox and perform an instrumental song
underneath it. What are you excited about right now? I’m doing
the music for a game called Shelf Life. It’s a story-driven game
about a non-binary art student. They’re dealing with family,
art, work and their social life, but they also move in and out
of this scary parallel dimension. There are themes of mental
health and identity and it’s really beautiful. Where do you hope
to be in 10 years? My current life is pretty normal and nice.
I like living with my friends and making stuff in my room. If I
can keep doing what I’m doing now but be more financially
stable, I’ll be happy.frank bits
