Saving paper from extinction since 2007
We're lovers of good design, and that affinity transpires into all aspects of life. From the clothes we put on in the morning to the products we use to make our morning coffee, we're always on the lookout for new standout products that mix functionality and aesthetic in a way that will enhance our everyday rituals.
With this keen interest in mind, we thought it'd be fun to share our favourite 'best in design' products, as chosen by our artists!

Designed in 1975 by Andrew Ritchie, the Brompton bike is an iconic bicycle with a three-part folding mechanism. In under 20 seconds, the Brompton stows away to be about the size of a singular wheel, giving riders the freedom of both portability and storability. And did we mention that every bike is handmade and quality-assured in their London factory?

“I have had the same kind/brand of backpack since I was eight. The quality is very durable; I'm only on my third Fjällräven backpack since the early 1980s. I think it's such a cool piece of design in a textile that lasts so long, despite being used every day in all kinds of weather.”

Launched in 1987, Copic was engineered as the next-generation graphic marker to meet the needs of professional designers and has since grown a cult following amongst specialists and hobbyists alike. With a growing colour spectrum of 358 different hues, the alcohol-based dyes are perfect for layering, blending and shading. The clever construction of the marker means the ink is refillable and the nibs replaceable, allowing most of the parts to be recyclable and reducing plastic waste.

“I think the item I feel is timeless, well designed and that I use almost daily is the original Stanley drinking flask. I have a few different sizes & whether its in the studio with me each day, hiking in -15 snow, sailing or having an ice cold Caipirinha cocktail on the beach in Brazil, it's always with me!”

HAY's Colour Crate is a collection of colourful storage boxes with a distinctive, perforated design. Due to their structural design, the crates can be stacked on top of each other in different size combinations when in use and can be folded down flat when they're not. Not only are these crates handy within the home and out and about, but they're made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic waste and can also be recycled.

“The first thing that attracted me to this lamp was the concrete, a bit brutalist base with the contrasting brass knob. The glass shade gives a soft touch to the architectural form. The lamp is dimmable, and turning the brass switch gives a satisfying, old-fashioned feel. I usually use it at the lowest setting, and it provides a pleasant candle-like light. Over time it became one of my home's most frequently used objects.”
