Mito cutlery also connects with the Satori trend with its slim, elegant chopstick-style shape, that is surprisingly comfortable and pleasing to hold, as well as being beautifully weighted.


It’s also worth highlighting the Cranemugs fromthe ‘I Like Birds’ range. In Japanese culture, crane birds represent longevity and good fortune. Along withmotifs such as Koi fish and Sakura blossom, we expect crane patterns to trend-up in 2020.

Benross offers a fan that provides a good looking and effective solution called Air Pod. Firstly it’s stylish: theminimalist,modern design is in keeping with contemporary interior design and therefore, rather than being an incongruent hunk ofmetal or plastic that looks out of place, it is a sleek statement piece.


Its innovative bladeless fan technology


means it is quiet - crucial for use in bedrooms during the night. It powerfully - but peacefully - circulates a smooth air flow with a choice of six air speeds. Both horizontal and vertical oscillation ensures the airflow is evenly distributed across a room.


You can operate it by using the touch


sensitive digital display or the remote control, which can be programmed to turn off after pre-set intervals. You can also operate a one hour to eight hour timer in pre-set intervals that can be paused. • www.benross.com
