Dinosaur Designs’ new Red range

Red collection Shell Wrap vase

Dinosaur Designs’ Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy have launched their new showcase colour range, Red. I’m not usually a fan of red, but we’re talking much more subtle than in-your-face Valentine’s Day red. Phew! Speaking of which, Happy Valentine’s, lovers!

The palette varies from deep reds and bright oranges to soft peaches, complimented by accents of cream and gold, which create harmonious colour relationships. New art range colours have also been developed, combining powerful reds and an earthy tortoiseshell.

Online shopping fix: House of Lulu

I only discovered House of Lulu this week but it just celebrated its first birthday. It’s owned by Vicki Sapountzis, who studied decorating at RMIT, and is one of those people whose friends always wanted to know where she found her latest buys.

There’s a great selection of rugs, cushions, vases, prints, kitchenware, accessories and more. I pulled together some of my favourites (above) including the gold leaf agate bookends (can’t get enough of agate lately!), dip-dye tassels and cool cushions. I think the prices are very reasonable.

Vases and glasses from recycled beer bottles

Tumblers made from beer and wine bottles

With a background in graphic design and a passionate eco sensibility, Pete Dobson has launched his own label of recycled glassware. He collects wine and beer bottles from bars and restaurants in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and hand cuts and polishes them to produce glasses, tumblers, carafes, and vases.

The eco-friendly aspect of his business is important to Pete, who can be found on a weekend scouring local bars, restaurants and cafes in Coogee for bottles. “I think there are more than adequate amounts of new products on the market,” he explains. “I love the idea of owning something with a story – reusing something that has already had one lifetime.”

Ocean: the latest Dinosaur Designs collection, by Louise Olsen

Drawing upon inspiration from the ocean, a fierce yet gentle, natural and ever changing beauty, the latest Dinosaur Designs collection by creative director Louise Olsen, resembles sea forms.

In the homewares range, vases and bowls resemble handmade shell forms. The natural colour of spotted patterned shells is cast upon vases and bowls. Platters form like waves and shells.

Louise has introduced a dégradé colour technique, which is applied using deep-sea blues and warm coral colours, resembling the depth and lightness of the tide sweeping in and out. To complete the palette, bright yellow and soft sandy tones have been incorporated.

Unique ceramics by Iggy and LouLou

I’ve become a little obsessed with ceramics lately. And I don’t think you can ever have too many decorative bowls! But if you’re looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, look no further than Melbourne label Iggy and LouLou.

Iggy LouLou gold rip bowl

The Gold Rip Collection is handcrafted, every piece unique, and finished in 24 carat gold. Starting from just $110 for a small vase. It’s full of texture and I think it’s just stunning.

Iggy and Lou Lou was established in 2003 by Melbourne artist and designer Irene Grishin Selzer and her partner Peter. Together they built a label credited as a pioneer in the revival of porcelain jewellery, whose fans include celebrities like Emily Blunt and Nicole Richie. They’ve also collaborated with the likes of fashion designer Karen Walker.

Loving the colour from Have You Met Miss Jones

Have You Met Miss Jones is best known for its white bone china homewares but the latest collection contains some great colourful pieces. I love these vases and I’ll be buying a few of these cute little bowls for keeping rings, salt flakes, and paperclips in! The possibilities are endless!

And don’t worry, Jennifer’s still producing more of the popular bone china too. Buy online at www.haveyoumetmissjones.com.au and read my interview with Jennifer Jones here.
