A string of fairy lights where each bulb is shaped like a little pink shrimp. Warm white LED. Ambiance. Crustacean energy. Works indoors and out.

A planter that hovers a clear inch above its wooden base on opposed magnets, rotating slowly and silently as long as it is powered. Rated for light loads of roughly 200 grams including soil, so it takes succulents, air plants and very small bonsai. The photographs undersell it — the moment people notice the gap underneath, the conversation stops.

A cast resin tentacle in aged bronze, hand-painted and polished, curling off a mounting plate as a fully working pull handle. Around 20cm long and solid enough for daily use on a cupboard, study or bathroom door. One of very few novelty objects that stops being decor and becomes part of the building.

A dome lamp that melts a candle from above with a halogen bulb instead of burning it. No flame, no soot, no wick to trim — and because the heat pools the entire wax surface evenly rather than tunnelling down the middle, the candle throws more scent and lasts dramatically longer. The TikTok favourite that turned out to actually work.

A hand-tuned steel tongue drum, hand-cut and weatherproofed to live outdoors permanently, so that falling rain plays it. Each drop strikes a tuned tongue and the whole garden turns into an ambient instrument during a downpour. Playable by hand with the included mallets too, but the point is what happens when nobody is there.
