All year round mums are superheroes, whether it is the support that they consistently provide, the delicious home cooked meals or finding that essential item of clothing that has mysteriously disappeared. They deserve the very best, and what better way to show your love and appreciation for them than by giving them a meaningful and beautiful present on Mother’s Day, one that they will enjoy for years to come.
South African artist and designer Carrol Boyes has created the perfect balance between art and function in her unique gift and homewares range. The company designs, manufactures and distributes an extensive range of over 1,000 hand-crafted metal homewares, giftware, flatware and tabletop products. The inspiration behind these unique items comes from both the human form and the beauty of nature.
“Mother’s Day is coming up and it’s the perfect opportunity to spoil mums all over Australia with timeless pieces that can be used and enjoyed for years in the home as both decorative pieces and functional products,” says Caryn Hanley, director of Carrol Boyes Australia.
“These beautiful homeware pieces can be used in the kitchen and dining room. The Carrol Boyes range has something for every occasion, whether it is a dinner party, a barbeque or just a laid back family gathering. Mums will love the combination of elegant designs and practicality of each product.”
Mums can re-seal their favourite vintage with the ‘Bottle Stopper―At Rest’. Designer packaging and functionality have been combined to make this the perfect gift for mothers. It vacuum seals and keeps the bottle fresh. The figure acts as a lever to open or seal the bottle and is completely ‘at rest’, just as mums should be on Mother’s Day. It’s easy and handy to use and is also a great interior piece to have in the house.
Another perfect gift for her would be the ‘Salad Servers―Wound Up’. The organic spirals of the wound up design undulate and bend, their unpredictable curves reflecting light in a unique way, creating an illusion of movement. These salad servers are proving to be popular in Australia and this particular design is the favourite in the pewter range.
A gift set to delight mothers is the ‘Milk Jug―Lily’ and ‘Sugar Bowl with Lid―Lily’, which is a beautiful, complementary set. The curves of a flower are mimicked in these products in an aesthetically satisfying way. The reflections of the metal combine well with the interiors of pure minimal white. Not only are these products sleek and sophisticated, but they transform the way liquids and sugar are served.
Currently the brand designs between 100 and 200 items a year, with Carrol personally designing about 70 per cent of the products.
The collection is available now.
