Designer Stephanie Housley founded Coral & Tusk in 2007 whilst living and working in New York as a textile designer, specialising in woven fabrics. Travels to India and the array of craftsmanship she saw there inspired Housley’s subsequent inimitable handling of colour and surfaces. The unique hand drawn-look embroidery pieces originate from a drawing or a hand embroidery design which is then scanned and re-drawn in stitch form with software attached to Housley’s embroidery machine, allowing her to maintain her own style of mark-making. “I come from a long line of Appalachian women who were always involved in some type of handiwork. I followed suit, but eventually became interested in finding a way to bring the integrity and special feeling of a ‘hand embroidery’ to a process of mass production”
The Coral and Tusk collection includes embroidered linen tea towels, dolls, badges and headbands and is exclusive to Couverture in the UK.

Lucky Boy Sunday is a brand of modern luxury knitted art toys and soft furnishings for the home, inspired by an artistic take on the world of children. The brand’s Danish designers, Camilla Koerschen and Camilla Ebdrup, are highly creative textile designers with backgrounds in fashion and art, who founded their studio in 2007.

Their work magically straddles the worlds of adults and children, the everyday and the unusual, bringing a poetic, artistic sensibility to both the living room and the nursery. Their iconic dolls, cushions, baby blankets, rattles and play houses harmoniously bring together the worlds of fashion and art in a way that speaks to both adults and children.

All Lucky Boy Sunday’s designs are manufactured in Bolivia, where alpaca have been bred for their precious wool for centuries. All items are knitted in cooperatives working under the fair trade principle, using only the highest grade wool, which is as valuable and as soft as cashmere. Their designs are made to both withstand the rigours of child’s play and look stunning in an adult’s environment.

Quality and function, originality and familiarity, poetry and playfulness are all in harmony in the work of this exceptional brand. Lucky Boy Sunday’s heirloom-quality designs have graced the cover of Milk magazine in France and are sold in design shops and the hippest children’s concept stores from Paris to Barcelona, Tokyo to Sydney, who are charmed by Camilla and Camilla’s unique, artistic take on the world.

The design process begins with sketches which are then made into original fabrics, each Minä Perhonen collection being built upon the principle of durable design with an aesthetic merit independent of seasonal trends. Characterised by an inherently feminine and naïve style and impeccable attention to detail; buttons are often individually hand finished, hems intricately scalloped; Minagawa’s timeless designs combine Scandinavian and Japanese influences to unique effect.

German family run business Ostheimer, have been handcrafting natural wooden toys for more than sixty years. Figurines and animals are individually hand carved from native hardwoods such as maple and ash, all sourced from local sustainable forests. Each toy is cut out and sanded by hand to achieve the typically soft edged form of Ostheimer figures, before being hand painted using non-toxic colours.

The simple designs and natural materials used are in deliberate contrast to today’s high tech games and, inspired by the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, Ostheimer aim to encourage children to use their imaginations whilst playing with them. “It is the fantasy of our children alone that breathes life into the seemingly stiff wooden figures, the form and colour of which purposely have been reduced to an essential minimum….We go to great lengths in shaping and crafting individual figures so as to preserve this fantasy world and thereby to give children the ability to draw on their creativity during play.” Margaret Ostheimer.
