These lovely oak pieces are hand made by Another Country, a small Dorset based furniture company. This is their first collection, drawing inspiration from a mix of British Country, Shaker, Scandinavian and Japanese woodwork. They also work to strict environmentally friendly principles, using FSC certified wood, natural latex mattresses and organic lambswool from farms in Devon and Dorset. I like companies who care about green matters. My personal favorite is the daybed in the image above. So simple, so pretty.

British Made: naughtone
The guys at Yorkshire based naughtone have long been favorites of mine. They produce beautiful pieces of furniture, with excellent eco credentials, using local and natural materials wherever possible. Their new catalogue is currently out.

Tommie Wilhelmsen
Tommie Wilhelmsen is an award winning architect from my hometown of Stavanger, Norway. His buildings have beautiful and unusual curves, designed as a response to the plot and its surroundings. Each house is unique, and designed in the belief that a good house can change your life. As well as beautiful, the houses are also environmentally friendly, with 90% of the houses being self-sufficient with ground source heating. I love the repetition of the outside curves in the interior spaces.
