Christmas is just around the corner. Even though it seems unlikely for us to travel around this year due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we can still, celebrate Christmas with design from the land of Santa Claus in our cosy and safe home. Advent Children Candle Holder by Rorstrand, the perfect gift idea for Christmas, is one of Lisa Larson's design. “Advent Children” candleholders have always been among Rorstrand most loved Christmas items since its first launch in 1980. All four figurines (Santa Claus, Lucia, Star Boy, Maiden) in the little procession are traditionally cast and hand-painted, each radiating the same good-natured appeal that characterises Lisa’s stylised animal sculptures, roly-poly female forms and fairy-story figures. Her prodigious creativity and desire to experiment have earned Lisa a reputation as a major rejuvenating force in Swedish decorative ceramics. Interested?

Mater from Denmark, a young Scandinavian design brand whose philosophy is sustainability. The core idea of Mater design is to recycle, reuse and create new and durable products. For many years, Mater has been questing for new environmentally-friendly techniques to turn the waste into something aesthetic. The design is the result of a new ground-breaking production method allowing Mater to use the low-value waste from Carlsberg’s beer production – the spent grain (Danish ‘mask’) – and turn it into useful and unique design solutions. In collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute Mater has developed a new industrial technology to process waste, e.g. spent grain from beer production along with other fibre-based waste materials. Moreover, as a functional design, Mask Stool is also height-adjustable to meet different needs. Mater, which means 'mother' in Latin, carries the aspiration and hope towards our mother Earth.  For Purchase:     https://www.manks.com/en/mask-stool.
