Cloud Coffee Table Set by Pygmy Cloud

The latest project we have been working on is our Cloud Coffee Table Set. We have been busy designing the set for the past few months and I am very to happy to say that we recently launched the tables at Made in Clerkenwell a couple of weeks ago in May 2015.

Originally I designed them as a treat to myself. We bought our first home two years ago in Walthamstow – a cosy little two bed Victorian terrace a stone’s throw away from the quaint Walthamstow Village. Since moving in, I have been obsessed with decorating the place – filling it with handmade homewares from independent designers found at craft markets such as Crafty Fox and online market places such as Etsy. After searching for coffee table for our living room and not finding one I liked, a little idea popped into my head – why not design my own?

I designed the set of cloud shaped nesting tables with the help of my friend, Matthew Whiteley, who is on a furniture making course. He did a great job creating the prototype for me and it was really exciting to see my idea come to life.

I was so pleased with the outcome, I posted a picture of the cloud tables in my living room on my Instagram (@pygmycloud). They had such a great response, I decided to make a small run to sell in my online shop pygmycloud.com! They are now available to order, but be quick – there will initially be a small run of just 5 single tables and 5 nesting tables.

You can find the tables on my website here, and see behind the scenes at Pygmy Cloud HQ on Instagram, Twitter & Facebook.

Or come see the tables in person at the Pygmy Cloud Open Studio in May – June, part of the E17 Art Trail. More info here.

Amelia’s Magazine | Bust Craftacular: Christmas Gift Ideas 2013

by

Georgia Bosson textiles

Last year I missed out on the Bust Craftacular, but this year I was able to whip around this buzzy annual event, held at the York Hall. I was very glad I made it, since this is a great place to discover new designers. My first find was these lovely hand screen printed textiles by Georgia Bosson, who is also working with upcycled felted fabrics for her new range of cushions. Bright and lovely! She’s only just launched her own business this year but I predict good things.

Haruko Miyauchi reindeer christmas card

I adored these hand cut reindeer cards by Haruko Miyauchi so much I bought two. £3.50 each: ridiculously underpriced and I told her so. Her first foray into selling designs!

Akiuc Design- bunny print

She was sharing a stand with her friend Aki Ueda Castellani, the lady behind Akiuc Design. Her animal prints are adorable (see also the pink horse in previous picture) – I just wish these ladies had a better online presence. So does my instagram feed.

Lydia Leith christmas lights coffee cup

Such fun; this Christmas lights coffee cup is by Lydia Leith – I wish Tim did not already have so many to choose from, or I would have swiped this up as a gift in double quick time.

Rosie Wonders prints

These lovely prints are by Rosie Wonders, who is currently hosting a pop up shop at Boxpark. Do make sure you visit for lots of pretty pretty things that would make ideal gifts for Christmas.

James Brown prints

If you prefer your artwork a bit bolder, how about these ace animal prints by James Brown, who goes by the moniker of James Prints on his social media feeds.

Jonna Saarinen mirrors

Scrumdiddlyumtious textiles by Jonna Saarinen and Kangan Arora were piled high on their table. This talented pair met on their degree course at Central Saint Martins and currently share a studio and a screen printing table in Brixton. Delicious.

Pygmy Cloud christmas decorations

Cute as. Christmas tree decorations by Pygmy Cloud were beautifully displayed on a stand that was bursting with plushies and other well designed goodies.

Tasha Brown lasercut heart with birds

Finally, these pretty laser cut birds in a heart are by recent Leeds surface design graduate Tasha Brown. I can’t wait to see how she develops her line, which is currently available on etsy.

Follow me on instagram to share in my favourite design finds in real time.
