Built to last, this Three Tier Circle Shelf from Bride&Wolfe will be as precious as the heirlooms it showcases. Crafted by a local artisan in Australia’s Victorian countryside, the timber is gently steamed and bent using Swedish wood-bending machinery dating back to the 1850s. Whether hung in the bedroom, bathroom or office, it is sure to dress up any home.

Wake up to a perfect day with the sounds of birds chirping on a sunny morning. This clock tweets sweetly every morning, and is super-easy to use with its simple design.

Lisa Neimeth has five goals: 1) Create durable, unique, hand made functional pieces that rival the “Made in China” culture that is so pervasive...a “slow-dish” movement perhaps; 2)Make connections between community service and being creative; 3) Hang with her kids; 4) Embrace slow and local food; 5) Continue to enjoy lemonade. Combine this with the beauty of her clay tableware and you’ve got a recipe for success!

With so many cables weaving their ways through our techno-homes, the Leaf Tie from LufDesign can help bring a bit of nature and life back to our modern environments. Wrap the tie around those loose computer cords, iPhone charges, and kettle cables. The design of the tie makes the cables look like cute wrapped twigs, serving the dual purpose of design and efficiency!

Our eyes are set on these Large Blown Glass Hurricane candlelight holders from Sundance. Made from mouth-blown glass, each piece is unique with its bubbles and reams which cause movement when looking through it, as well as its varying density of colour. Run out of tealights? The burnished metal candle cup can be easily removed to use the cylinder as a gorgeous vase!

Individually, they’re three of Australia’s most innovative songwriters. There’s Sally Seltmann with her dreamy, sweeping pop, Holly Throsby, known for summoning melodies and cutting lyrics, and Sarah Blasko who’s haunting songs veer from intimate ballads to orchestral showstoppers. Combine them, and you’ve got Seeker, Lover, Keeper - a trio who’s amazing self-titled debut album has been on repeat at the Intrinsic office!
