What a catch: Au Bain Marie plates

Parisian enamel plate maker Au Bain Marie riffs on classic or historical porcelain patterns, and turns them into portable, dishwasher safe, picnic ready plates. The fish collection, which is sold either individually or in a set of six patterns, is a take on a 19th century, hand painted Limoges porcelain line, and features a range of river-specific fish.

Bright idea: Hermès lanterns

Designed by conceptual lighting artist Yann Kersalé, La Lanterne d’Hermès is like an haute couture take on a flashlight.

The great outdoors: Madeline Weinrib fabric

Textile doyenne Madeline Weinrib makes both chevron and ikat mainstream interior design motifs. She has spent decades sniffing out unique, traditionally woven textiles from India, the Middle East and North Africa, often taking a heritage motif and extrapolating scale, colour, or other distinctive elements to create something fresh for her own fabric and rug lines. Weinrib has added a collection of outdoor fabrics to her line. “Finding a technique for outdoor fabric that captures the look and feel of my ikat and suzani designs took a long time, but finally I found it,” says Weinrib.
