In partnership with Ró, Francesca Gentilli, Aniza.

A healthy home is well on its way to being a happy home. By surrounding yourself with beauty and eco-friendly materials, you can ensure that your home can be as physically healthy and as mentally happy as possible. We have complied a list of some of our favourites below.

RÓ | Seydisfjördur, Iceland

RÓ create a range of handcrafted, pure wool mattresses and cushions from Icelandic wool. Their classic yet modern styling makes them incredible versatile as well as give a cozy, and healthy night’s sleep. These mattresses are a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to “normal” mattresses and cushions. Conventional products in this category can contain harmful synthetic chemicals and materials that off-gas with time, and never break down at the end of their life. The ethically produced RÓ mattresses can be used as toppers, daybeds, futons, or couches.

Francesca Gentilli | London, UK

These beautiful rugs are hand woven by artisans in India, Morocco and Peru, using natural materials and ancient hand loom weaving techniques. Francesca Gentilli sources amazing rugs and carpets from traditional craftsmen and women. Each unique piece tells a story, and depending on the dying or weaving technique, some rugs can take up to a year to make! You can have Francesca visit your home and develop a custom design, or choose existing designs from their range across collections and countries.

J’JUTE | Sydney, Australia

Each J’Jute basket is carefully designed in Australia and handcrafted in India by local artisans. Since each piece is handmade with natural jute fibre, every individual item has its own unique features and characteristics. We love how each basket will have its own natural quirks. For something a little more edgy, go for one of the Onyx dyed (black) baskets. Onyx dye is all natural and free from harmful heavy chemicals and AZO.

TESS GUINERY | Sydney, Australia

Tess Guinery creates interesting, whimsical art and design pieces while living by the phrase: “discover beauty in everyone”. She takes inspiration from all around her in her home in Australia and while each piece tells the story she wants you to see, they are abstract for the viewer to find their own connection and their own story within the piece. Her pieces are available as printed posters or as digital downloads for you to print yourself; on her website you can also view her other, incredible design work.
