Poetry...not just for romantics...

No indeed,

We like to think that TS Eliot would have enjoyed using a Lush Designs notebook,

although he managed to write the magnificently unromantic
Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock without one ...

Let us go then, you and I,

When the evening is spread out against the sky

Like a patient etherized upon a table;

Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,

The muttering retreats

Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels

And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:

Streets that follow like a tedious argument

Of insidious intent

To lead you to an overwhelming question ...

Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”

Let us go and make our visit.

Take your pick and pluck a lovely little notebook from our range and see if you can start a whole new career as a poet...

Autumn

This new collection of ceramics and light shades in engraved glass and decorative earthen ware alludes to its Autumnal inspiration of pods and seeds and sturdy but mysterious trees. Of fungal blooms and lichen forms and rich berries on frosty mornings.

SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness!
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,	5
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,	10
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

Lions and Unicorns

Its never too early to get your children familiar with heraldry and its symbols.  With this in mind we've designed these melamine breakfast sets for youngsters so they can get a handle on this noble tradition...   

 The lion is the symbol of valour, strength and all that gubbins.  This one is 'Statant' (all four feet on the floor) as we fancy folk say.  Grrrr 

 Daaw.  Here's a little one.

 This lion is smiling. Look, its even got smiling eyes. (grrr)

 Unicorns were popularly considered to be WILD beasts and in heraldry were shown in chains.

 Not these little darlings though. Our unicorns are a little bit frisky, but not exactly rampant.

Wild, but not Boaring

Lush Designs' Wild Boar wallpaper is a top-selling favourite with pig-lovers all over the world

For those less committed to our porcine pals there's a set of Lush Designs Wild Boar coasters which will bring Un Soupçon de Sanglier to your drinks party without going the whole hog.

What are THESE peepin' piggies?  Why, they're napkins of course so you can pig out on pork and clean up the consequences (We wouldn't ourselves, what with being vegetarians).

Hey, but look at THIS little piglet! Isn't she SWEEEET.  Please, no-one make her into sausages.

Lush Designs in Seoul

We had such a great time in South Korea.

 This is our stand at the Plaza hotel in Seoul One might imagine from this photograph that one of us is evil and the other one kind - rather like a good cop and a bad cop, or those fairies in the Wizard of Oz.

In fact we're both as mean as custard - and keen as mustard

Get loved up

Jungle is Massive

What is the inspiration for these imposing Jungle design lampshades?
Could it be our love of strange plants that are carnivorous... or store their energy in giant tubers... or seemingly feed on nothing but air....

... pre-historic, other-worldly and just plain WEIRD

"What is your inspiration?" they ask... Could it be we're just JUNGLISTS
