2 Mine over matter
It’s all in the detail with Anna Kraitz’s Mine cup and saucer set. A simple white cup is given a playful twist with a delicate gold handle that curves over and around the lip of the cup. “Mine is both a presentation cup and a sculpture,” says Kraitz of her design.

3 ’Tis the season
Zara Home has unveiled its Christmas range, which includes these sweet Wreath Christmas tumblers. We think they are pretty enough to use all year round but, at Dh13, even if you only bring them out once a year, you still won’t be out of pocket.

4 Emphatic endings
We love the sharp, simple geometric lines of these polished brass bookends. They’re designed by the Scandi design duo Folkform for the Swedish brand Skultuna, which has been crafting high-quality brass and sterling silver objects for the last 400 years.

5 Been-around bowls
These pretty brass bowls are made using ancient Indian sandcasting techniques. We love the rough texture and pomegranate shape. What’s more, they are created out of recycled brass scrap, so they are as sustainable as they are striking.
