The Friday Five: Teapots

| 1 Commentary

I’ve got a major work weekend ahead of me and when I’m working from home I normally have a pot of tea on the go. This weekend I can guarantee I’ll be drinking more than one pot of tea!

Halo teapot, $79.95, Crate & Barrel

teapot, $54, Ten Thousand Villages

Design House Stockholm teapot, $70, CSN

Normann Copenhagen teapot, $200, CSN

Le Creuset teapot, $24.95, CSN


Although I do love making chai tea, my most favourite tea comes from H̩diard in Paris. Loose leaf teas in cute little red tins Рperfect!

Fornasetti near you

It’s no secret that we love Urban Barn.

We’ve featured the Canadian company countless times here on White Cabana, probably because we think the products are fun and trendy and we’ve got experience with them ourselves as long-time customers.

Today we’re featuring these lovely Fornasetti paperweights currently available at UB. We all know that Jordana has a bit of a thing for Fornasetti– the Milanese artist has been featured here before to much swooning and acclaim.

For those of us who are on a budget and can’t afford (yet) a Fornasetti print, plate, sculpture, etc., these paperweights at Urban Barn feature iconic Fornasetti images and are a great entry-point into the style and beauty that defines the designer’s career. At $3 each for the small paperweights “Tea” and “Eye,” and $15 for the larger “Visage” piece, there’s no reason to skip these for yourself or as a gift for someone special.

Roche Bobois is synonymous with luxurious home furnishings to the point of ridiculously amazing.

These days, collaborations between designers and thinkers are happening across industries and it’s no surprise to find French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier’s signature on a selection of Roche Bobois furniture and home accessories.

Today we’re featuring highlights from the collaborative offerings, which we’d describe as envisioned for a French rock-and-roll goth sailor tycoon.
