Report from NYC: Comfort from the cold
Alyssa Ettinger’s beautifully tactile Knitwear Bowls duplicate the texture of a handknit sweater on their unglazed surfaces.
Add a fjordic flavour to your winter pad with these Nordic knit cushions from Urban Outfitters. They’re stylish and cuddle-worthy, with understated contrast patterns at the back.
And what would a winter wonderland (even an indoor one) be without a pair of frolicking deers?
These sculpted wooden animals are part of a range made of pear, walnut, beech and other European woods made as kids’ toys and sold at Brooklyn-based online shop Romp. Unpainted and finished with beeswax, their unadorned shapes show off the woodgrain beautifully.
This family of blank Russian nesting dolls , also from Romp, leaves much to the imagination. You can decorate them yourself - or leave them as they are, as a group of strangely abstract forms.
And finally, you can hold a little sunshine in your hands all winter long, with this ingenious Sun Jar from Urban Outfitters.
The Sun Jar quite literally captures sunlight, giving off a gentle indoor glow. A traditional glass mason jar is fitted with an energy-efficient LED lamp, which charges in direct sunlight.
Stay warm, wherever you are!
