Out of Africa
Thanda is a new online store sourcing ethically produced homewares from South Africa. Its Faversham-based founder, Suganya Smith, is originally from South Africa and she is passionate about seeking out striking designs made by community-based projects. “Every time I visited family and brought things back friends would ask where I got them. The products are such good quality and it seemed a great opportunity to support the makers and their communities.” Find reclaimed wooden picture frames, hand-thrown ceramic bowls and Bonakele weave baskets, shown here, from £29 at www.thanda.co.uk.

Labour of love
When the owner of Tunbridge Wells-based holiday home Pennington Cottage was looking for furniture that reflected the age of her property, she turned to another Kent business.Jac & Gill, based at Lilypie Café in Maidstone, specialises in vintage furniture, accessories and homeware, which they upcycle using classic Farrow and Ball shades. Gill Howgate, co-owner with Jacqueline Wilkinson, says: “We provided a Victorian chest of drawers, an oak French table and a fantastic dresser. The French vintage chest of drawers in the bedroom (above) underwent paint techniques and dark wax to get the right finish; we also painted chairs in a bright high gloss to add a splash of colour to the bathroom.” More at www.facebook.com/JacandGill or visit: Lilypie Café, Warmlake Road, Chart Sutton, Maidstone ME17 3RP

Hokolo’s new Ava Table. Designed by architect Jen Taylor, this mid-century inspired hand-crafted table has an integrated light, plant pot holder and coaster to keep everything close to hand. Choose from Walnut, Oak or Ash, £640, www.hokolo.com

Loaf’s stylish new Cobber kitchen table and Hamburger kitchen chairs. Featuring a top in reclaimed Elm, the table is £575 and the chairs are £265 for a pair, visit Loaf.com or call 0845 459 9937

The gorgeous Grove Chair in Betsy Print from Marks & Spencer, £699. It is almost too pretty to sit on and certainly isn’t one to cover up with a cushion. Visit www.marksandspencer.com.
