Article translated_Sitting on ‘the Cup’
By a curious coincidence, the same word in Italian – if somewhat archaic – can indicate two completely different ceramic objects. The first, and more common, use is to indicate china tableware, as in a tea or breakfast set. The second, less used, meaning refers to the classic, indispensable, toilet!
British designer Holly Palmer (www.hollypalmeronline.co.uk) has invented an object – showcased within the British collective during the latest edition of Macef, in Milan – which could be said to reunite both meanings. The “Tea Cup Stool” has in fact the shape of a huge tea cup – which looks as if it has jumped out of “Alice in Wonderland” –, but can be found very useful within a bathroom. Created in synthetic material (in a dozen of vivid colours), through a rotational printing technique, it isn’t upset by humidity. So, it can be used as seat or coffee table, indoors, outdoors – or in the ‘ladies’ chamber’!

Corner Hooks featured in the 'Soglia & Dintorni' section of Showroom Magazine.
Article translated _ Give me a corner...
And I’ll give it a use! British designer Holly Palmer (www.hollypalmeronline.co.uk) has created a metallic plaque – showcased within the British collective during the latest edition of Macef, in Milan –which can be hung on door or shelf corners, for various uses. With its handy little hooks, it transforms a useless corner in useful hanging space. For example, in a hall area it can hold whatever one needs to ‘wear’ before going out: a jacket, the car keys, a watch. A truly handy “Corner Hook”.

'Double Take
They might appear to be one thing, but look again and you'll realise they are something totally different...a cup that's a stool, a stiletto that's a door stopper and a tap that's a radio. And they could give you loads of fun on April Fool's Day...

Press Release 2009_Tea Cup Stools
PRESS RELEASE _2009
Tea Cup Stools from Tea Party’
------------------------------------------------------
The Tea Cup Stool took inspiration from children's literature and surrealism, in particular the images and ideas created by 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll.

For both contract and domestic use.
Available from selected UK stores and direct from www.hollypalmeronline.co.uk, please see website for details and stockists. Introduced to Italy at Macef in January 2009, the Tea Cup stools will first appear in a dedicated section of the Melchionni store in Alessandria soon.
