Spotted recently at the Design Made Trade show,
were these fetching limited edition bowl & beaker sets
from Beynon & Tufts,
which is a collaboration between ceramist Ingrid Tufts
& botanical artist Arnolda Beynon.
The Eucalyptus Ficifolia design is the first
in a series exploring the rustic beauty of Australian native plants.
I love the richness of the golden grey-green on the inside of the pieces,
contrasted with the simple black & white line drawing on the outside.
What a charming way to start the day,
with a latte in the beaker & freshly made muesli in the bowl,
and perhaps a sprig of gum blossom on the side!
It's a lovely reminder to see the beauty in simple things.
Lovely blog. I lived in Melbourne in the mid-90's with my two young children. We loved it there. Glen Iris, my son went to Caulfield Grammar. So glad I found you via Mix and Chic blog. I had a commercial design background before going residential too. It is more fun!
ReplyDeleteHello Carla and delighted that you found me! Especially via Jessie's gorgeous blog too!
ReplyDeleteWell what a small world it is, and isn't it interesting how so many of us have similar backgrounds, despite now living in different countries. Design is such a universal thing!
Beautiful images as usual Virginia thank you - very calming. I especially like the colour inside too; it's perfect. I was fascinated by gum nuts when I was young and we used to make 'gum nut people' out of them. Bet my girls can't do that on Nintendo!
ReplyDeleteHello Annie! Oh we used to do that too - inspired by the old gum nut babies books perhaps - but the wonderful shapes are such a spark to the imagination. Hmm...Nintendo and consoles...don't get me started on that one....I almost despair that our young generation will lose the ability to imagine things on their own...hope I am wrong...
ReplyDeleteThe shape and color of the pots are made even more beautiful by the botanical design on them. Just lovely! Living on the other side of the world I have never seen gum blossoms and think they are spectacular - wish I could grown them here (along with PassionFruit!)
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely stunning. I am amazed at the detail that is captured in these gorgeous pots... so lovely and elegant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces! Love the illustration as well as a pop of color inside!
