Some of the design stories behind our products; Barefoot designs, striving to marry beauty with practicality, as well as those we select because they're cornish or beautiful design or ethical.
We've also put them in our barefoot collections for you
Jon surfs, he surfs a lot.
We don't mind because he always comes back a nicer person, more mellow,
and more often than not with ideas, stuff he's had time to think about whilst
sitting out the back waiting for a wave. And once he came back with seaweed!
At certain times of the year there's more seaweed in the water. You notice it when
paddling on your board, it gets tangled around your leash and your legs.
You have to pull it off and fling it back into the water. It's then that you notice
how beautiful it is, so graceful floating in slow motion, moving with the current.
So we laid out his piece of seaweed and thought about how we could share its
natural beauty, without the slime or the smell! We love textiles, so we screen printed
it in our favourite colours from the cornish pallette, onto crisp white and slate grey
cotton and brought them into the kitchen as essential must haves. We like to hang
our seaweed tea towels on the aga and wear the aprons in the Barefoot Kitchen cafe.
