Mushroom Stools, Fashion Collaborations & A New Jonathan Adler Store Opening
June’s Interiors Heroes returns with all the latest launches, brand names and collaborations to satisfy all the home and interiors aficionados out there. This month, there is plenty to inspire your next home buy, from a Monica Vinader ceramics collection to the shiny new London store opening of Jonathan Adler.
Monica Vinader x Florence St George Collaboration
This June, iconic jewellery designer Monica Vinader has teamed up for the second time with ceramicist Florence St George.
The collection plays on both artists’ love of shapes – think deconstructed lines and raw, nature-inspired forms – to create a selection of small ceramic pieces. There’s sweet nesting dishes inspired by coconuts from Florence’s home in the Bahamas – the ideal place to keep your everyday jewels safe; as well as pretty bud vases that will upscale your next tablescape situation, all inspired by the cool blues and sandy whites of the Bahamian beaches.
Florence and I bonded over our joint experience of living in the Bahamas. Just like before, the collection is heavily inspired by the hues and undulations of Bahamian seascapes – Monica Vinader
Each piece is finished with a hand-painted gold edge, reflective of Vinader’s delicate signature gold jewels.
Starting at £65 and available to shop at Farfetch, Selfridges and online at MonicaVinader.com, the pieces are perfect as a little pep up for your bedside table or for a unique gift idea.

Ginori 1735 Launch Furniture
You may know the celebrated Italian porcelain brand, Ginori 1735, for their intricately printed dinnerware that would look just as good hanging pride of place on a wall, as it would on the table at your next party, and this season, they are making their first foray into furniture design.
The eight piece-strong collection comprises a cub chair, coffee table, lounge chair and pouffe, as well as a selection of glassware, cutlery, pillows and lights.
Playing off the brand’s love of a vintage print, expect florals in ‘70s inspired colourways and graphic prints to add personality to a space. Each piece of furniture can be upholstered in one of the newly designed prints, which take inspiration from Giori’s rich heritage.
Our favourite is the Le Venus chair, with its peppy blue and scarlett shades and joyful floral print – think Mad Men style for the modern home.

Rhode & West Elm Team Up
Few things fill us with joy more than when a fashion brand we love teams up with an interior behemoth to bring some fresh energy to your home. That’s the case with this latest collaboration between womenswear label Rhode and interiors brand West Elm.
Rhode, which was founded in 2014 by best friends Phoebe Vickers and Purna Khatau, is known for its vivid colour palette, evocative prints and timeless silhouettes, so it lends itself beautifully to homewares. The collection will include decorative accessories, pieces for the table top and, our favourite, a selection of colorful bed linens that we cannot wait to sink into.
The range is inspired by the duo’s love for travel and is intended to be mixed and matched in their signature unabashedly clashing way.

Assieds Toii Mushroom Stool
If we had to pick one piece to take home with us this month, it would be Assieds -Toii’s mushroom stool.
These sweet stools will breathe new life into your seating arrangements (their namesake actually means to “take a seat” in French) with their upholstered mushroom stools in vintage-inspired prints. Pop one next to the sofa in a clashing print for extra seating at your next drinks party or in a cosy corner to curate a chic reading nook.
Our favorite has to be the cotton pink candy stripes – the perfect newbie to an all-pink interiors palette – but there are countless fabric choices, from zebra to hand painted florals to gingham, to choose from. We love.
