new blue marmalade...

We've had quite a few new arrivals at boo vake this week including a new batch of 'hollow' lighting and 'polyrap' bins from Edinburgh based designers Blue Marmalade.

'Hollow' is a versatile two-tone light that can either stand on it's edge, lie on it's side or can be suspended from a hook. We currently have a few in orange/yellow and white/red. And like all Blue Marmalade's products are made in Britain and designed with a strong consideration for the environment - both in using as few materials as possible and in making sure that those materials are recyclable at the end of their useable life. And the best bit - you put them together yourself! Actually they are incredibly easy to assemble, and come with an energy saving bulb included!

And this is the new style 'polyrap' wastepaper bin in zingy yellow, newly folded into 3d form (from one sheet of recycleable plastic) by yours truly! Hurrah!

hollow light £34, polyrap wastepaper bin £24

the envelope angel comes to the rescue

I'm sure we all have padded envelopes and other packaging filling our cupboards at home that we've kept to re-use but never have. Maybe it's looking a bit scruffy to send that present for your favourite auntie or you just can never find a label that would cover up the previous address. The boys at Blue Marmalade have the perfect solution to stylishly extend the life of that jiffy bag with their envelope angel which houses a roll of 100 sets of address & sender labels. Send a set of labels with your package and you'll make the chances of it being re-used again even higher.
You can buy your envelope angel here at boo vake now.
