This month's wishlist includes minimal Danish design to vintage-style décor pieces
This month’s eclectic mix of objects, accessories and self-care items share a broad sense of inspiration, from minimal Danish design to vintage-style décor pieces featuring natural, rustic materials.
Dubai-based Chapter 101’s capsule vase collection, Le Baux, is inspired by the natural sceneries of Les Baux-de-Provence in France, taking cues from its architectural forms, rustic textures and natural materials to create handcrafted pieces that are authentic and rooted in its context. The collection aims to bring not only a decorative element to a space, but also a cultural experience.
London-based designer and ceramist Louise Madzia creates quirky and playful hand-painted ceramics, from vases to plates. This white ceramic plate has been crafted by hand in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and features a screen-printed decal design of an abstract body and two faces. Much like her other ceramic works, the plate balances a good dose of whimsy but with a powerful effect.

Evocative of coastal living, the Amelie Hourglass Vase has been given a vintage feel by using a traditional method of applying a patina over a white glaze.
