Nest | Winter Collection
Ever since the New Zealand homeware brand
Nest re-entered our lives last year with a new
online store and
warehouse shop in Auckland I've been singing their praises, and for good reason. Remembered by many as a superb quality line of homeware, the brand has been brought back to life with contemporary crafted ceramics, beautiful washed linen bedding, handmade glassware, white enamelled cutlery and so much more. Working directly with the best artisans, factories and designers from all over the world,
Nest brings us simple, well-crafted goods for everyday use.
Today I'm excited to share some of the
Winter 2014 Collection with you. A gorgeous mix of traditional
Nest products like luxurious Egyptian cotton towels, quality glassware from France and white porcelain dinnerware at great prices, there are also some new lines including hand decorated cups and plates, and washed linen bedding in fabulous colours.
If you follow me on
Instagram you'll have seen me posting pictures of our beautiful linen bedding from
Nest. You can also see it in our
home feature in the latest
Homestyle magazine. Having had my heart set on a grey linen duvet cover for so long, it was love at first sight when I saw it at
Nest. A beautiful muted shade, it looks amazing paired with our
Nest washed white linen sheets. I love the way it drapes effortlessly over the bed, and the feeling of linen against the skin is incomparable. It also improves with age, softening with every wash. In addition to grey and white, the
Nest Washed Linen comes in duckegg, dream blue, and coral.
When it comes to dining,
Nest has it covered with an extensive collection of unique pieces. Made in Portugal, the new organic range of white stone
dinnerware is exquisite, as is the glossy white enamel
cutlery, hand dipped by artisans in Japan.
For those who wish to mix in some colour, you have plenty to choose from. I love the
Cantine range of fine stoneware that features a colour glaze in soft muted tones of zinc grey and duckegg. The
Tides range of stoneware is cast in traditional moulds, then hand dipped in colour. Both made in France, they layer well with whites and neutrals, adding further texture and that lovely natural element.
For the kitchen,
Nest stock a great range of storage options. There's the versatile
Weck range from Germany, and the pure glass and wood lid jars that are found in kitchens all over France. They also offer the classic
Falconware range of products as well as a wonderful selection of wire baskets, wooden boards and
serveware.
The
Nest Living & Decor section
features a gorgeous mix of vases, candles, furniture, lighting and more. It's no secret I'm a huge fan of the European homeware brand Serax, which I first introduced you to
here. A range of beautifully simple, organic ceramics, Nest has a stunning selection on offer. Just be warned, once you start collecting them it's hard to stop!
To see the entire range and to shop online, pop over
here. If you're in Auckland I highly recommend you visit the
retail store, to fully experience the intoxicating mix of old and new, rustic and smooth, classic and contemporary, in person. Located in an old warehouse on the city fringe, you will find them at 35 Dacre Street, Newton.
