Jepara Chair

A stunning addition to any home, this contemporary chair design features banana fibre woven onto a sturdy wooden frame. Five feather-filled cushions complete the design, literally supporting and hugging you in whatever position you adopt. The rich colours of the weaving material are beautifully offset by the paler fabrics of the cushions, making a pleasing addition to any living space.

The chair works on its own, for individual comfort, or combines with another chair to make a cosy contemporary pair, which form an impromptu sofa. Being square, the design also fits neatly into corners.

The cushion fabrics are 100% cotton. You can choose from a handwoven textile (white) from Indonesia, or a heavier fabric sourced in the UK (celeriac green). Our aim longer-term is to source an organic/fair trade-certified cotton for the Indonesian fabrics.

Matching tables and footstools are available using the same meterials and construction as the chair. The tabletop and shelves are made from mango and pule, both local softwoods.

Dyson Air Multiplier – Bladeless Fan

Feel the difference with the Dyson Air Multiplier Fan.

Unlike any other desk fan, the Dyson Air Multiplier works with a unique bladeless design, high energy efficiency and sports an uber stylish profile. Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology draws in air and amplifies it 15 times to form a smooth, uninterrupted stream to cool and refresh you.

Drawing air in at the bottom of the fan using an energy efficient brushless motor, the Air Multiplier then expels it through a 1.3mm wide slot, creating a cone of amplified, invigorating air, up to 119 gallons every second. With its iconic shape and advanced technology, the Dyson Air Multiplier trumps the conventional fan on so many levels, making it the safer, healthier, easier, eco-friendlier and perhaps the most refreshing fan available:

Safety: With its bladeless design, Dyson present a harmless desktop cooling device, allowing you to put your hands, objects and even your head through the circular hole safely, just because you can!

Health: It attracts less dust than conventional fans, is easier to clean and stands as a strong benefactor to creating a healthier living and working environment.

Features: Rather than having a finite number of strength settings as a conventional fan does, the Air Multiplier is fully controllable using a dimmer switch and can be set to oscillate smoothly from side to side. It’s also possible to tilt the fan to the appropriate angle.

Energy-Efficiency: Whilst powered by electricity, the Dyson Air Multiplier is designed in such a way as to naturally draw in extra air from behind and around the machine through processes known as inducement and entrainment, optimising its cooling efficiency.

Presso Coffee Maker – Non Electric Coffee Maker

Fed up of shopping for your coffee at the local chain coffee store? Presso is the world’s simplest espresso coffee maker.

Made using eco-friendly and recyclable materials, this stylish espresso maker will revolutionise the way you experience your favourite coffee. If you’re fed up of having to nip out to your local coffee store to get coffee just the way you like it then look no further. This revolution in coffee making enables you to have quality fresh coffee in your home, without the added expense and hassle of going to your nearest Starbucks!

How do you make a great tasting coffee from Presso?

1. Make sure you use clean fresh water that has not been re boiled.

2. Use coffee grounds suitable for espresso machines (not too large or the coffee will be weak and thin. Not too fine or it will be very hard to push the arms down)

3. For maximum cream try overfilling the cylinder with hot water to increase the pressure. Raise the arms and squeeze down firmly stopping once the espresso is out. Catch the remainder in a second cup and throw this away.

4. Tamp the grounds down firmly with the Presso spoon tamp.

5. After filling Presso with hot water raise the handles and then let the water infuse into the grinds in for 15 to 25 seconds.

6. Push the handles downwards in a firm smooth motion and hold them at the end of the stroke (curl your fingers around the base legs and wait for all the water to be extracted.)
7. Sometimes a second repetition may be needed to extract all the moisture from the coffee.

8. Enjoy!

‘I Am Not A Paper Cup’ Insulated Mug

The double walled, porcelain cup comes complete with a removable silicone lid, so you can have your regular morning coffee without adding to the landfill problem.
In the USA alone there are an estimated 25 billion ‘disposable’ coffee cups thrown away each year. The fact that, due to health regulations, the vast majority (90%+) of the paper in these cups is brand new virgin paper does not help matters. You might think, then, that the cups themselves could be recycled, right? Wrong! During manufacturing the cups are laminated with a plastic resin (polyethylene) in order to insulate and seal the cups. This prevents recycling, and ensures that every single laminated paper cup ends up in landfill and begins to decompose. As it does, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas with 23 times the heat trapping power of carbon dioxide.
So, do your bit. Grab yourself a new mug, and make a stand against wasteful paper cups.

Simon Lee Recycled Guitar (Cyclotron Webster)

All guitarists like to stand out, and almost certainly love to show off. The new range of Cyclotron guitars from Simon Lee will enable you to do both, and saving the planet in the process.

Unlike conventional instruments, Cyclotron guitars are not made from endangered hardwoods. The material of choice here is, maybe surprisingly, recycled plastics. However, the real surprise comes when you actually play the guitar. The maple neck, heavy recycled plastic body and top quality hand-wound Bare Knuckle pickups (as used by Matt Bellamy, Lenny Kravtitz, The Datsuns and many, many others) combine to give this guitar the top quality sound you would expect from such an instrument.

A bold new design, the Webster uses the timeless combination of three single coils (Bare Knuckle Pickups), which deliver the widest range of pure single coil sounds available.

The body is developed and cut away so that both front and back plates provide minimal obstruction and maximum access for both standing and seated playing styles.

The maple centre and neck form the rigid core which allows for sustain to develop and grow.

Five way switching allows a wide variety of sound combinations suitable for many different musical styles.

The solid Switchcraft jack socket is mounted directly into the recessed maple core providing a dependable and pull proof connection.

About Cyclotron Guitars

Simon Lee Cyclotron Guitars are high quality, hand made, sustainable instruments which are made using environmentally sound processes and materials wherever possible.

The guitars are available in six uniqe materials, each of which give your new guitar a unique finish.

Materials

Marble: Reclaimed plastics from food production industry. Semi-translucent with black veining. Has the appearance of a very heavy marble.

Snow: Factory reject Yoghurt pots with foil fragments from lids embedded in a white stone like material. Polishes to a hard shine.

Pirate: Sparkling fragments of crushed CDs suspended in translucent blue from office water cooler bottles. The CDs were seized by Trading Standards during a raid on illegal CD production facilities.

Superfresh: Domestic bottles and containers of all types. Gives very vivid splashes and streaks of colour moving through the material. It even has a fresh soapy smell when first machined.

Chilli: Off cuts from industrial pipes. The mixture of colours produce a hot volcanic effect.

Espresso: Vending Machine Coffee Cups which show as chips of cream and beige in a grey/ black base. This material polishes well to granite like appearance.
