Our Ship's Come In

Well the one carrying our gorgeous new stock from Stelton in Denmark anyway.

We are really excited to announce that we are getting several pieces from Arne Jacobsen's iconic Cylinda Line including the coffee pot
.
The 1960s was the golden age of Danish design, and one of the leading figures was the architect Arne Jacobsen. In 1932, Arne Jacobsen began collaboration with Fritz Hansens Eft. A/S, and over a period of years designed a series of chairs which are now recognised as milestones in the development of modern furniture. They include “The Ant” (1951), “The Egg” (1957), and “The Swann”(1957). But he was also an innovator in other design fields, such as the tableware series “Cylinda-line” in stainless steel.

Cylinda-Line was put on the market in 1967, and immediately attracted considerable attention for its serene, functionalist design. The range got off to a flying start when it was awarded the ID prize, founded that same year by the Danish Design Council. Several other prizes followed, including the International Design Award of the American Institute of Interior Designers in 1968. Parts of the range were given the highest sign of recognition when they were included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Danish Museum of Decorative Art in Copenhagen.



For lovers of coffee, the ultimate accessory is also arriving. The portable espresso machine. Here is what Stelton say about it:

”If you want to own an espresso machine that saves space in the kitchen and can be taken wherever you go - then you definitely need
the new Simply espresso from Stelton.
In cooperation with a French technology company Stelton has developed an entirely new technology for this espresso machine. The
result is the smallest, electric, battery-powered espresso machine in the world which of course has the required pressure of 16 bar
(ATW) exactly the same capacity as the larger and far more expensive machines.
Simply espresso is a smart device, easy to find space for in a kitchen, summer house or even a boat. This is a simple way of making
espresso without compromising the good taste.”

Come into the shop and have a look at it - and a cup of coffee - I'm keeping one just for me. And while you are at it, you won't be able to miss the incredible Stelton's ship's lanterns.
