Artwood's engineered wood flooring comes in a vast range of colours and finishes. The UK-based company uses high-grade sustainable European oak and prides itself on its creative approach. Its eye-catching Precious Metals collection is inlaid with real gold and silver, which delicately highlights the natural grain of the timber. If you're looking for a sure-fire way to glam up your space, look no further.

4. International appeal
We've only recently been introduced to the work of Beirut-born interior architect Vick Vanlian. Vanlian first visited the Milan Furniture Fair when he was 10 years old and has since built a successful career designing interiors. He is in the process of opening a dedicated V World boutique in Beirut and his products, which are original, ultra-modern and a bit wacky, have earned him a place at the top of our one-to-watch list. We love the Globe Trekker collection, which is made from vintage leather suitcases.

5. Giving thanks
We're excited about the launch of new furniture brand THNXXx - pronounced "thanks". International design duo Harry & Camilla, who are best known for their mysterious, futuristic creations, are responsible for the artistic direction of the brand and are committed to creating a collection that is "inspiring, inviting, joyful, charming and democratic". Here's hoping it hits our shores soon.
