Aderia
Classic, colorful, contemporary: ADERIA glassware is all this and more. Each piece is handmade in Japan with techniques 200 years in the making, from 1819 when Iwasaburo Ishizuka established his glass factory in Nagoya, to 1961 when they produced their first mass glass bottles. Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern glassmaking methods, ADERIA glassware is a staple in our kitchen cabinets. We love them.
Anglepoise
The perfect lamp, designed by an engineer.
It's 1932, and automotive engineer George Carwardine is developing a formula for a new type of spring. He discovers that pivoting arms supported by a sequence of these springs can be repositioned with the lightest touch yet will remain perfectly in place once released. Carwardine has just created the blueprint for an Anglepoise: a perfectly balanced desk lamp, and his enduring legacy. British offices will never be the same.
