Pitching for Rain

Betterflies

With all the whizzing around this summer of beasties wild and woolly - team radici thought it would be much kinder to immortalise said critters somewhere other than on the windshield - we are so loving Sarah Whittle's current brood of naive hand embroidered bugs and she does commissions too...

Just Brewteaful

During a little postprandial stroll around Mayfair Roscoe discovered a rather lovely tea shop, Postcard Teas, where you can attend tea school...send tea postcards...and obviously sample strange and exotic brews... hooked we are!

Paper Papillons

Isn't it so pretty ... a mysterious French-Canadian designer from lepetitpapillon creates these dreamy paper mobiles and delicate felt clouds (although there are too many of the real thing about to feature)
Perfect for staring at and thinking magical creative thoughts today...

Allors Enfants...

No storming or waving of tricolores for us for us we'd rather eat cake... and what better sweet delight to snaffel on Bastille Day than a few dozen macarons...our roving Roscoe has tested an establishment or two and has declared that the ones from Laduree on Burlington Arcade are pretty darn tasty...

Tetris cycling

So remember those heady days of the tetris craze... well you can regress all that addiction therapy by having it back in your living room...better still you can design the shapes yourself... team radici are just loving NY based Brave Space Designs genius modular wall units

Babble On

Of course it was designed by someone from down-under - next question...

Team radici are loving the really wacky turn it on its head designs from New Zealand ceramicist Patrick Morris of Boskke Planters... and it ticks eco boxes by needing 80% less water than regular planters... and yes they lock in the soil so no nasty little piles of sand on yer carpets in case you were concerned

Craftaholics Unite

Super trendy and anything but anonymous Craftaholics are having a fab fair on June 27th 2009 at the Old Queens Head in Islington - it promises to be a real treat with funky music and cupcakes and stalls chock-full of delightful cutting edge crafty stuff... diarise darlings

Bag it

Team Rad are loving British accessories designer Monica Boxely's Marianne bag - it's big and beautiful and oversized so you feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland - perfect for carrying all number of important things around... gloves, fans etc

Tube Delights

Now in light of the current Tube horrors team radici would like to demonstrate to it's band of followers that Tubes can be fun and beautiful and that you may even grow to love them.... take this recycled inner tube and felt notebook from talented Dutch designer Doreen Westphal who started using recycled inner tubes when she was given a bag of them as a joke - we like we like....

Ballooning Lovely

Blow me down... if you don't see stars after creating this vase we'll give you a medal - team Radici are loving the 3rd trimester vases from Anika Engelbrech ... who hails from Germany...

Freeby Friday

Team Rad are so excited about happening across this here blog - Free Design Goodies - that finds all sorts of design freebies to download and create with from cards to wallpaper... cancel all your weekend plans, turn off the mobile and play!

Marbles Lost

Ever wondered where all our lost marbles go... now we know the super talented Georgiosi - musician, designer, light-tripper extraordinaire harvests them and magically transforms them into OWL's (Objects with Light)... team radici are just itching to have one of these gems to light up our lives... maybe not so bad to have lost them afterall

For the Girls

For all you savvy girls out there (and boys for that matter) Owen has discovered Coutts Woman - a very sussed website giving all sorts of really sensible, managable advice about scheckles (whether you have lots of dosh or not)...so far sounds a bit dry right but wait - they also have fantastic features on women entrepreneurs, fashion advice, travel and food reviews and of course amazing offers on all sorts of gorgeous goodies for girls(including a little sumthing from Radici)... a very perfect place to browse while riding out the credit crunch and beyond when you're rich and famous again

New Wave

Perfect for spring this necklace-stroke-scarf creation by Giia, a Milan based interior architect who started making these amazing cotton neck-sculptures for herself (and was probably inundated by requests) and eventually built up a collection for sale - team radici are so loving these...and that new age electric blue is pretty darn trendy not so?

Tea totem

Team radici are so lovin' the tea totem vases from Basel based ceramicist Laura Pregger - she has some other very fabulous teacup-themed stuff including dreamy lighting and canny shadowing details....brew a cuppa and then view the cuppa's is what we suggest...and throw in the odd chockie biscuit to make it a prefect mid-morning treat

Cart-Park

Team radici think it's time to rediscover your inner gypsy and invest in the Annie chair from reestore... we're thinking the trend crystal ball will have us all gadding about in pale green gypsy caravans with bright yellow canaries and the ultimate trailer park chic seating in no time...
