mineheart A design fairytale Illustrations by Courtney Brims

Once upon a time... In a land far away, there was a little house, in a small village in the realm of Cambridge. The house had a tiny garden, where a dog liked to lay in the sun. From the outside the house looked quite normal, but inside it was very different, inside it was very curious indeed. The house felt strangely familiar, yet everything was somehow a little unexpected, different, even odd. The house belonged to two artists who loved to make things and fix things, and it is there we begin the story...

Not six inches high... “King Edison Pendant Lamp” designed by Young & Battaglia Made in England Small is beautiful meets a moment of genius, a perfect tiny chandelier suspended inside a glass lightbulb and hung on braided silken cable. The ‘King Edison’ pendant lamp combines the pure simplicity of an Edison light bulb with the romance and glamour of a Kings chandelier. It consists of a miniature brass chandelier inside a hand blown clear glass shade and satin chrome fittings. Ideal for hanging individually or in clusters for maximum effect. Dimensions: 150mm diameter x 21

It was a magic carpet... “Persian Cowhide Rug designed by Young & Battaglia Made in England The piece is a playful and unexpected marriage between two of the most iconic rugs in the world. The meticulous and geometric Persian carpet is seamlessly combined with the natural irregularity of an animal skin rug. The design is made possible by digitally printing on to a special fabric backed rubber which is then hand cut in to its final hide shape. Unlike real cowhides this one is hypo-allergenic, washable, non-slip, and will not curl up at the edges. Dimensions: 1653mm x 1500mm

Available in various dimensions, leathers and fabric upholstery and customized coloured feet to RAL.

The evil stepmother... “Undercover antique plates” designed by Young & Battaglia Made in England Where graffiti collides with the china cabinet: familiar scenes reveal themselves through spattered windows on understated glossy white ceramic forms. Afternoon tea will never be the same again! Plates available in three sizes

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble... “Cauldron Pendant Lamps” designed by Young & Battaglia Made in England This ultra-modern range is powerful in its simplicity yet takes it’s inspiration from the cooking pots and storage jars of centuries ago. Perfect curves combine with smoky black glass to create something of beauty. The curved pendant lights cast just the right amount of light over a single important spot, or hang several in a row for a show-stopping statement. Dimensions: Large - 216mm x 343mm, Small - 274mm x 26

The objects were alive... “Monsieur Mint” Made in England This canvas portrays a cheekily defaced French king, blending classic art with modern day mischief. The ornate, white frame is not as it seems; in fact it’s printed onto the canvas. This beautiful print is available in three sizes and is ideal as a feature piece in both domestic and commercial interio
