No Comply skateboard bowls, £95 per item
Carefully crafted from pressed, recycled skateboards, this bowl has been hand-sanded, shaped and sealed with a natural food safe oil. You may see holes that previously held the trucks and wheels on to the skateboard, but these only add character to an already unique piece of kitchenware.

Calum Bettison ‘Table Lamp 01’ lamp, £155
Invest in local talent with the Table Lamp 01, which is handmade by Scottish furniture maker Calum Bettison. He explains that alternating layers of oak grain give the lamp base its distinctive textural character. “The wood is first selected for its suitable grain pattern, sliced, alternate layers reversed and then assembled before being turned into a cylinder.”
Brch. ‘Cora’ decorative vase in the shade Terra, £152
Only two of these covetable handmade vases are available to purchase, meaning not only are you gifting style, you are also gifting exclusivity. The piece is formed through the rhythm of interconnected sustainable plywood segments creating transparency around a central glass column for an elusive, yet distinctive look. Hand stained in a rich warm terracotta to enhance and show off the wood grain.
Fresh or dry florals will bring vibrance to this striking piece, with the option of leaving it without any florals for a more minimalist aesthetic.
Plus, one tree is planted for every item purchased on the Brch. site, so you can shop with both style and sustainability in mind.

These endearing swallow ornaments are made in collaboration with Anna Campbell-Jones. The swallow design is inspired by the iconic matching tattoos that she has on her hands.

These are out of stock online, but will be back on the Ocean Plastic Pots website from 7th December 2024. H&IS also noticed a handful of swallows in the V&A Dundee gift shop, so pay the museum a visit to get your hands on a set.
