We are just so in love with True Grace candles!

ARCO is a British luxury fine candle manufacture founded in 1991 by husband and wife team Philippa Nolan and Roger Biles.

Arco started life manufacturing bespoke candles for the likes of Calvin Klein, Heals, House of Fraser, Jigsaw, Kenneth Turner, Laura Ashley, Liberty, Margaret Howell, Molton Brown, Muji, Mulberry, Penhaligons, Pringle and Space NK.

In 2003 they launched the True Grace brand, with an emphasis on quality and tradition, all of our products are handmade in our factory in Wiltshire, England. Philippa and Roger have developed a special formulation of clean burning 100% Natural wax, derived from Rapeseed Wax, Beeswax and a secret ingredient, there unique blend is specially formulated to burn cleanly and perfume beautifully.

There are 37 fragrances, we don’t stock all of them, although we would love to, each candle produces a wonderful fragrance due to their 10% scent content– one of the highest in any candle on the market – and has an impressive burning time of 40 hours.

As pioneers of this unique natural wax blend, which not only acts as an excellent purveyor of fragrance but also its “clean burn” and lack of carbon emission, there fragranced candles contain no paraffin, soy or palm oil, True Grace candles are a truly 21st generation environmentally friendly product. True Grace candles now sell in shops all over the world from Japan to Italy, Switzerland to France, in the UK, USA and Australia!

Ahh Eva Solo

February 17, 2010  |  by Greenhouse  |  bestsellers, brands, design, gifts, kitchen, living  |  No Comments

Eva Solo, it just makes everything better!

Eva Solo, the ultimate combination of appearance and functionality. Eva Solo has a unique collection of award-winning designs with each product being created as the center of its own universe.

My most prized piece in the kitchen is my  Eva Solo new generation solid stainless garlic press, which has holes  that are so easy to clean! (Unlike so many that I have brought before)

It has space for the extra garlic cloves in the glass container, making a striking bench top addition when not in use. Its just so easy to use- you will become even more addicted to garlic in your salads, sauces and dips! Yum!

Enjoy!

Our idea of seduction…

‘There are rare moments in the design continuum when the inspiration of a single artisan transcends that of their contemporaries and translates into a legacy destined to extend beyond the here and now’. Fink

Such is the work of Robert Foster and his studio/workshop, F!NK + Co. We at the Greenhouse think that this is the ultimate in sleek serving and dining.  Each object created by Fink is individually hand finished which results in an object embedded with its own unique charecteristics—more like a piece of art.

‘Founded in 1993 to manufacture beautifully-designed and innovative household objects, F!NK is not just a showcase for Foster’s internationally-renowned exhibition pieces, but a production house for the work of an increasing pool of young designers, and a name synonymous with spirited and distinctive Australian design’.

‘Lauded as works of exemplary contemporary design in the world’s major arts institutions including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) in Canberra, F!NK objects offer more than just striking visual appeal and design innovation. The functional performance and quality of production and finishing are palpably important to the artists and the studio. It comes as no surprise that Foster was originally trained more than two decades ago as a metalsmith and has worked overseas with some of the world’s leading design houses: Alessi (design and prototyping of teapots in 1996 and 2000) and Ingo Maurer (lighting prototypes in 2000)’.

In store at the moment is the  iconic F!NK Water Jug, in a range of colours including polished silver, electric blue and deep purple- they are a pleasure to use and a piece of Australia art history to collect.

It is crucial to educate the Australian and international public about the value of outstanding design and high quality products.” Robert Foster Fink Designs.

Will you be my Valentine?

February 9, 2010  |  by Greenhouse  |  bedroom, bestsellers, gifts  |  No Comments

For Valentines day this year I’m not after a ring, a necklace or flowers that will wilt and die… I want something to hang my precious jewels on.. introducing the Menu Jewelry tree- I want!

Now all your rings, bracelets, chains and earrings have their very own place to rest on the Menu jewelry tree. It is not only decorative, another beautiful item for the bedroom, it holds the pieces of jewelry you wish to wear on a daily basis. Reminding you to wear what you have, not to go out and buy more- FAB! Louise Christ, the designer, has used mirror-finished aluminium which both tolerates use and has the necessary weight to carry your jewelry without tipping over (What a thinker)

Its beautiful, sculptural and fascinatingly simple.

We are loving the Herb Garden at the moment ”Grow your own herbs or buy them fresh from the supermarket. They can all be organized in one spot. Scissors are always at hand in the integrated pocket. Just pick or cut as many herbs as you need”. What more could we ask for!

I’m not sure about your experience with herbs, but I buy packets and only use half, so to have them at hand, on my kitchen bench is a dream!

Enjoy!
