Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, a British fashion brand, has expanded into home goods through partnerships with Polish design group UAU Project and artist Nick Cowan. Two limited-edition sculptures intended to serve as bookends arrive as a part of the group’s debut home décor line, ‘Homeware Creatures.’ One of the offerings includes a red cat head made from red jesmonite and a sitting feline figurine made from blue jesmonite. The London-based designer has also collaborated with the Polish design company UAU Project on a line of unique 3D-printed vases created from bioplastics derived from plants.
The vases, which arrive in green/pink, red, yellow, and blue, can be used separately or layered one on top of the other to create a tower. Only on the company's official website are the Charles Jeffrey Loverboy ‘Homeware Creatures’ available.
