I'm sharing some exciting news from Zakkia today, with a peek at the their 2017 Collection 02. Founder Swede-turned-Sydneysider Sara Lundgren has revisited her roots, exploring a darker side this season. The new pieces draw inspiration from a winter spent in Sweden where the mornings are icy and the waters frozen, where the sun barely makes an appearance and the trees are bare. Experimenting with new materials such as frosted handblown glass, silver metal and painted ceramics, she says "there is something exciting about pairing the texture of mouth blown glass with the shiny surface of our silver finish to create a new feel."
Sara and fellow designer Hollie Paterson have created a range of pieces for the home that are both beautiful and functional. Evoking a sense of calm, they feature the timeless shapes that have become the staple for Zakkia. In addition to the new silver finishes, mouth blown glass and hand painted ceramics, the collection includes a new slow drip coffee brewer, botanical vases, glass straws and mirror hooks.
The new collection will be available online and in stores throughout Australia September 2017.
