Host with the Most
Whether you’re planning a gathering pre-Christmas, hosting the big day itself, or preparing for the new year, thinking ahead to what you’re serving, how you want your friends and family to feel and the little touches that make it a memorable evening will help you keep your hosting stresses at bay, ensuring you have just as much as your guests.
The Art of Ambience
We’re naturally big believers that lighting and ambience go hand in hand. The festive season lends itself well to pockets of light – think twinkling strings, a warm glow and diffused light casting playful shadows.
When it comes to overhead lighting, opt for something striking and beautiful. Our Flock Chandelier makes the ultimate statement without being overbearing, instead offering soft, swirling patterns of light through an open space.
Evoking a murmuration of starlings sweeping the sky, each featherlight, wooden curlicue is steam bent by hand in either sustainable Ash, Oak or Walnut, before being suspended from a solid oak plate.
A true spectacle, the Flock invites awe as it playfully flutters light throughout your hallway or open living space, leaving guests feeling welcome, warm and joyful.
Create a mood in dark corners or illuminate conversations with our Artus Floor Light. Available in sustainably sourced Birch, the dowel cage houses a blown glass bulb which casts dramatic slithers of shadow throughout your space.
Handcrafted using 270 dowels intricately placed into position, each illuminated pillar distributes kaleidoscopic vertical shadows and creates a sense of delight and energy in a room.
Celebrate with Gratitude
Rather than focusing on new year resolutions, too often focusing on everything we want to change in our lives, take a moment to look back at all you’ve achieved, accomplished and simply been grateful for.
Set the mood, take pen to paper, or simply share with your loved ones, and highlight the things you’ve been grateful for this year. People, celebrations, love, a stroll by the sea or a favourite new song. Take the time to reflect so you can enter the new year filled with joy and take in abundant energy.
Toast to New Beginnings
If you’re seeing in the new year at home, surrounded by your favourite people, make the night extra special with a delightfully seasonal cocktail.
We’ve been talking tipples with our fellow Cornish brand, Tarquin’s Gin, and will be mixing up several glasses of their Panettone Negroni, honouring Tarquin’s limited edition The Panettone Gin. Think infusions of zesty orange, rich vanilla and candied fruits perfectly balanced with the bitters synonymous with a Negroni.
To help you celebrate in style, we’ve partnered with Tarquin’s to give you the chance to win a Magnum of gin and a set of two Tarquin’s Exclusive Spritz glasses, along with a £100 Tom Raffield voucher. Head to our Instagram for all the details on how to enter. Closes 9am on Monday 22nd December 2025.
