In this throwaway society overwhelmed with mass-produced furniture and homeware, it is so important to invest in unique pieces handcrafted by artisans using time-honoured methods. Not only will they add originality and beauty to your home, but they are also made to last and will be treasured for many years.
Introducing Made+Good (opens in new tab), a curated online marketplace of independent UK-based designers and makers. The company sources products for their sustainability, character and functionality, supporting talented individuals who you might otherwise never have heard of. And, for every purchase made, 15% commission is donated to one of Made+Good’s supported charities (opens in new tab) – meaning you can feel great about treating yourself.
