BACK TO WORK | WORK FROM HOME

A sensational example of Burgon & Ball’s collaboration with Sophie Conran, the latest generation of the British design dynasty. She brings her ‘modern country house’ style to a range of must-have garden tools and accessories, elevating the everyday for home gardeners and plant lovers.

Ergonomically, this tool is a joy to use. As with all things in life, it’s a matter of balance: the handle slides forwards easily in your hand as you tilt, the slender, angled spout to direct the pour for on-target watering. The result is more moisture where it’s needed and less waste of a valuable resource in a dry continent.

Behind this fusion of beauty and practicality is Burgon & Ball’s peerless metal-working skills, developed continually throughout the company’s 290-year history. The steel body is treated with a protective powder coating and a sophisticated matt finish in a range of colours, including Sophie’s choice of this deliciously creamy buttermilk hue.

A metal seal bearing the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball logo on the top surface of the can adds the finishing touch and marks this out as a design of distinction. Pretty enough to leave out on the windowsill with pride.

Materials: Powder-coated galvanised steel

In 2012, on a Central America backpacking and surfing trip, Lingo's Aussie founder Keaton White had a "light bulb" moment to migrate hand-picked Spanish phrases from a battered notebook onto the cards he played every afternoon over sunset cervezas. 

Having improved his Spanish through fun card games, he realised his idea was too good not to share. Lingo was founded in 2014 through a Kickstarter campaign and is now loved all over the world.

Whether you're planning forward for that trip when borders open, or just want to brush up on that school French, you'll love using this fun deck. Featuring the most commonly-used phrases, accompanied by easy-to-follow phonetic pronunciations, Lingo's playing cards offer a fun and easy way to learn a new language. 

All Lingo Cards decks are beautifully designed and evoke unique themes and vibes. Each deck, which contains four suits of 52 playing cards and two Jokers, is made from only premium quality materials, ensuring durability and longevity.

 Form and function meet in the Kinto CAFEPRESS. Perfect for the garden or the office to take on your lunch break. Or as a gift for a coffee or tea lover. The CAFEPRESS mug can brew and strain inside itself. Just put the ground coffee or tea leaves in, pour boiled water, and let it brew for a few minutes.

Artsy and crafty types will also find these a boon. Keep a separate one handy to flick away eraser shreds from your drawing, sweep threads from your stitchwork, coral beads together and much more.

This set, part of a collaboration with French design studio Mr & Mrs Clynk, brings streamlined modern chic to a classic. It consists of a brush framed in sustainably cultivate beech, with bristles in a blend of natural and synthetic fibres. Simply sweep crumbs and other particles into the lacquered metal tray and whisk them away. 

Presented in a gift box, this is an ideal gift for anyone whose enthusiasms sometimes get messy, including yourself.

Even the mundane act of sweeping up a surface can be a chance to reflect on the beauty of the materials and form. A small moment of grace and beauty in an ordinary day.

Brush up

Sure, doing the dishes is not most people’s idea of a good time, but it’s a lot more enjoyable if you have the help of a faithful companion dish brush that will share the job for years.

Made in France, the elegant simplicity of this original dish brush proves that form followed function long before Modernism.

The Tradition line is still crafted as it was more than 70 years ago, in varnished beechwood with natural fibres. Even the simple act of washing dishes can be a chance to admire the beauty of the materials and the simplicity of the form, a small moment of grace and beauty in an ordinary day.

Material: Beech, mixed vegetable fibres

Made in France

About Andree Jardin:

In 1947, from a workshop on the banks of the Erdre River in France, George Julio and his family transformed local timbers and fibres into what was known as ‘Parisian wares’, hardworking brushes that would become staples of French households for decades.

These days this family-owned company consciously use timbers sourced from sustainably managed forests that are then thermally treated for resistance to moisture. Meaning you won't have to replace it for a long time. 

Normally open to visitors, peek inside the Andrée Jardin workshop via our brand showcase and see the time-honoured the craft in action.
