From audio-integrated eyewear to characterful luggage...

Aether creates eyewear, but not as you know it. The brand offers distinctively modern sunglasses and spectacles, integrated with open-ear audio technology – letting you access music or podcasts and enjoy immaculate call clarity.

“Our goal was to create a wearable design object as a portal to a holistic aural experience,
allowing users to tune into the soundscape that reflects their mood while staying connected
the present moment.” says Hannes Unt, Aether's creative director.

Add to this considered aesthetics in the form of sleek curves, clean lines and refined details, and you have what's set to be the future of eyewear. You'll never want to wear normal glasses again.

SET YOUR SIGHTS ON AETHER

Inspired by Californian skate culture and the spirit of Venice Beach in the '70s, Floyd creates durable, colourful and smooth-rolling travel cases that don't skimp on character.

The result of 20 years' experience in high-end luggage production, Floyd cases are made from premium hard-shell polycarbonate, with modern versions of the iconic polyurethane wheels
that made skateboarding so popular in the '70s.

While suitcases have long been designed to be inconspicuous and rather boring,Floyd's lightweight luggage brings a new lease of life to the world of hard-shell suitcases.

ROLL ON WITH FLOYD

Barcelona-based brand Shon Mott creates sustainably made staples that draw inspiration
from the laidback beauty of the Mediterranean.

Its garments, which range from extra fine cotton T-shirts to hardwearing technical jackets, are characterised by clean lines, neutral hues and high-quality craftsmanship.

These are pieces that are designed to stand the test of time –
both in terms of their durable construction and timeless aesthetic.

GET TO KNOW SHON MOTT

Founded in 2019, London-based watch brand Monofore is revolutionising the contemporary watch market with its perfectly pared-back timepieces that exude understated elegance.

Drawing aesthetic inspiration from old-school art deco-style rectangular watches, Monofore developed a modernised version underscored by a minimalist design philosophy.

Not a single detail has been overlooked: from the embedded crown that creates an unbroken line to polished stainless steel indexes that contrast with the matt finish of the dial to create texture and highlights.

Swoon was established with the goal of producing beautiful original furniture pieces at fair prices. From sofas to storage solutions, its stylish yet functional offering is for the truly home obsessed.

All of Swoon's pieces are imbued with character. Traditional craftsmanship techniques are fused with innovative design to create furniture that will bring life to a space, rather than exist to merely fulfil a function.

The brand works with artisans across the UK and Europe to bring its designs to life. From designers to craftspeople, there is a dedicated team involved in creating each individual piece from scratch.
