A bright and beautiful bar stool and other must haves for your home

Wiggle room

Not so the Flo. It’s handmade, customisable, and comes in ice-cream colours. This one’s Papaya Sorbet. But, at €460 plus delivery from the UK, it’s not a cheap date. See foxandfurb.co.uk.

​Fizzy lemon

This flowery pattern was originally designed for Ikea in the early 1970s. Now relaunched, the Sandeternell cushion cover costs €5 from ikea.com/ie.

​Moody blues

This is the desk-sized version of Dyson’s Solarcycle Morph. It can deliver four different types of light — indirect, task, feature or ambient. Via an app, it can be programmed to adjust the light it emits throughout the day “depending on the user’s task, age, mood and local daylight”. How clever of it to know what mood you’re in! The finish is Prussian Blue and Copper (€549.99 from dyson.ie).

Wraparound

The Calligaris Quadrotta armchair is designed to embrace the sitter in a comforting backrest over a bouncy sprung seat. This mid-century hybrid costs €1,506 from kubeinteriors.com.

Smoke hour

With a mango wood base and a tempered smoked glass top (45cm diameter) this occasional table is the sturdy little workhorse of the living room. It also comes in black and costs €195 from orianab.com.
