TREND ALERT: Urban Sailor

There is one last lady knitting these jumpers - she's in her late 80s, was taught by her mother and knits from experience and memory. This skill may be lost when she dies. LED Rope Lights by Christian Haas

These jumpers were knitted by loved ones from weather-resistant worsted wool. Every coastal village in the UK had its own design and the fisherman's initials were added under the arm. If the fisherman was swept out to sea, the jumper outlasted the body, which could be identified by the initials and pattern. The knitted armchair is by Biscuit Scout

Fusion Tea Set by SARAH DE RUIJTER

How can you not adore Sarah de Ruijter's new Fusion tea set collection. The recent graduate from Design Academy Eindhoven's aim is to connect different cultures with the very traditional ritual of serving tea

As early as during the 17th century, the Dutch East Indian Company VOC introduced tea to our country. And yet there is not much of a tea-drinking culture in the Netherlands. Something which the different groups of immigrants do have. Each group has its own customs. Sarah de Ruijter sees tea as something to connect people: serving tea is a marker of hospitality and mutual respect. She has designed a tea set in which Turkish, Moroccan, Chinese, Polish, Surinamese and Indonesian elements combine to form a new tea drinking culture. With copper and porcelain as common factors, this set subtly displays characteristics from six different cultures. Fusion allows the user to keep up traditional rituals or to invent a completely new tea ceremony.

Preserving Design

Jaeuk Jung designer of The Amber Chair wanted to explore the preservation of a historical object and capturing a moment in time. Jaeuk has used a classic wooden chair and has sealed it in an amber-like polymer.

Marta Mattsson work contains preserved resin insects. " Nature is a great source of inspiration but so is Pokemon", says Marta. Carly Waito's oil paintings are inspired by natural objects that are curious and beautiful

Natural lacquers, varnish and glazes explore a new shine that captures a watery ciscosity and semi-translucency with a hard a polished exterior. Eclipse 2 by Nick van Woert; Barite, 2009 ~ oil on masonite by Carly Waito

I have always loved cheap sources of wood being transformed into a glossy, elegant material using transparent or semi-transparent lacquer. Rik Stool by Inon Rettig; Particle collection by Jens Praet's; Occasional table by Bleu Nature
