Also from the Mezzo range, it's similarly infused with retro chic. Brigid armchair by Aster–Aesthetic is another favourite of PRIVATE LABEL GROUP. Its contemporary and clean lines result in a generous seat with a slight slope, which is securely supported by a wood structure. Standard materials and finishes range from black stained oak matte to fabric or brushed brass. Custom sizes and finishes are available under consultation. Also by Aster, the Greer Modular Sofa incorporates a wood component in the middle of the design, which serves as a side table supporting the lounge area, and a wide range of cushions in different sizes and colours.

Behind the displays of baked goods, a cookery school is run by a charity offering opportunities to build a future using baking as a tool to employability and entrepreneurship, as well as a safe space and friendly faces. When the founders decided to open a second branch, they collaborated closely with London-based architecture studio Red Deer to create a modern yet approachable space that echoes the ethos of the charity and references its original Hackney site.

Red Deer encouraged lines of sight between the café and bakery to place awareness to the importance of high-quality local produce. A palette of soft grey and tonal greens, painted dado lines, mid-century furniture and lighting, old reclaimed pews and black and white checker-board tiles grace the café, with its upper fl oors designed to create an environment that provides staff and trainees with the warmth and intimacy necessary for counselling rooms, offi ce spaces and classrooms.

Both limited and open edition functional objects continue a line of enquiry that attempts to expose the design industry's wilful contribution to a world that is full of products and denuded of life. 2 The Nature of an Island by Dale Hardiman and James Lemon Representing a future of chaos led by individuality, both Hardiman and Lemon are collaborating on works but are not allowed to communicate during the process. The method of design where two creators work together without communication brings distinctiveness and perspective in a new light. 3 Mirror 11 by Aref Montazeri This piece gains inspiration from traditional jewellery. At the same time, it forms a statement, instantly giving the room a personality.
