Moooi Extinct Animals ornaments retail from €30 ($46.83) each at www.moooi.com. The Extra O collection is available locally at Space Furniture.
LOOK NATURAL
Natural stone lends a biophilic feel to a space, and it does not require mining. The Anthology collection by Lea Ceramiche combines marble and stone to produce five different natural stone porcelain tiles.
The collection features two neutral beige shades, two greys, one dark hue, and three textures (worn, raw, rough) for barefoot comfort. Additionally, the brand’s proprietary antibacterial technology zaps 99.9 per cent of bacteria.
The Anthology collection by Lea Ceramiche is available at Hafary.
BACK TO BLACK
Generally, chrome finishes are the default finish for kitchen appliances, making an all-black kitchen more expensive since it requires customisation. If you love black, Bosch has heard you!
Its Bosch Black Collection offers a full kitchen suite in black stainless steel, including cooker hoods, gas and induction hobs, ovens, dishwashers, and freezer fridges at reasonable prices.

ENJOY THE PRESSURE

It also reduces cooking time by up to 70 per cent, which translates to roughly 50 per cent energy consumption saved. The perfect appliance for all busy households.
