Sweet, but edgy

As promised on Friday, today I'll be showcasing some delightful items by Vanilla Concrete, a South African ceramic design studio.

The close-knit team at Vanilla Concrete aim to manufacture everyday items that are beautiful and fun to use. All pieces are hand-crafted from original designs and they only produce between 500 and 1000 pieces during an eight-week period. Their collections include The Woman I Am, Plain White Butterfly and Rose Story, but my favourite is definitely the A Summer Poem collection, below.

And for something totally quirky for your home, there are these extraordinary creatures...

I love the purple one! She's called Milla. :-)

To see more of their designs or get your hands on some Vanilla Concrete, visit their website or send them an e-mail.
