Darkly dramatic: our new Sahara Sunset home collection

Summertime turns our thoughts to adventures in far-off places, and we think our new Sahara Sunset homeware collection captures the mood perfectly.

We’ve created the range to complement the interiors trend for an eclectic mix of textured and earthy classic pieces. With its rich, dark colour, warm metallic gleam and subtle texture, Sahara Sunset will bring a touch of the exotic to your home.

The pieces are made using the traditional technique of metal spinning. This involves pressing on the edge of a rotating vertical disc - like a circular saw, but without the cutting edge. The edge bends round into a bowl shape, eventually forming Sahara’s beautiful curves. The pieces are then decorated by hand with an understated texture and metallic lacquer around the rim.

There’s a wide range of indoor plant pots, some with chains for hanging to give that lush, jungly feel. We’ve included generously sized pots and a floor pot in the collection, for those striking large plants which make such a statement around the home. They’re just perfect for a monstera or fiddle-leaf fig.

The Sahara Sunset colours really come to life when greenery or flowers are added. If you have a black or dark grey garden fence, you’ll know how any colour really pops against this dark background. It’s a technique that’s used a lot in the gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show – the contrast makes greens look extra vibrant. It’s the same effect here. Your houseplants will never have looked so lush and healthy!

We’re calling Sahara a home collection, since we’ve taken care to include some striking multi-purpose pieces which can be used all round the home. There’s a beautiful big statement bowl, for example. We’ve used it as a fruit bowl, and we’ve also planted it up with a pick-and-mix of little succulents. For a further option, we can see it filled with water, a few floating flower heads and floating candles, perfect for warm evenings in the garden or a table centrepiece.

Very soon a vase and a jug will join the line-up, and they’re perfect for floral arrangements. You could also use the jug as a decorative piece in the bathroom or guest bedroom, or even as a water jug as the pieces are food safe.

Bring the drama of the exotic into your home this season with the new Sahara Sunset collection.
