Healing Gardens
Renowned in the creative industry as the creative director of Christian Lacroix Maison, French designer Sacha Walckhoff has been branching out and exploring his signature style through various collaborations with international brands. One of his latest creations is Magic Garden, a porcelain tableware collection with German brand Rosenthal. Inspired by the apothecary gardens, which feature plants with healing properties, Magic Garden mixes classic delicate floral design with Bauhaus geometry with a surprisingly versatile result.
Magic Garden retails at Rosenthal from £10.75 ($18.80). In Singapore, Rosenthal is available from Da Vinci Lifestyle.

Family-Friendly Comfort

On a Netflix binge? There’s an in-built USB port for when your device runs out of battery. It’s fully upholstered in FabricGard, a Cellini-exclusive, stain-resistant microsuede material. To remove stains, simply blot it out, spray water on the residue, rub with a damp cloth, and leave to dry. It’s resistant to fraying too – great for pet owners or if you have kids around.
