Gathering Around The Fire

Pull a chair up to the fire and shuffle the pack of cards...

A standing lamp in the corner of a room glows across the walls. A small wooden table with flowers and a hanging picture are on the right.

As living beings we gather for warmth, around each other, around sources of heat. Winter is a time to gather together around the open fire. To be indoors and to be rugged up. A blanket pulled around the waist: “keep your kidneys warm” a thought appears in your mothers voice. Sippers on. Hair dry. A good book or long card game begins by lamp light… The smell of incense and sap fills the air. As we hibernate let it be with a glass of something, let it be with an old friend, let it be in comfort.

Introducing the Balthus Floor Lamp by Astier de Villatte, the Chill Chair by Nanna Ditzel & Motley Hand Loomed Blanket by Forestry Wool.

A person dress in white with yellow slippers sits in a wicker chair with a brown blanket draped over their lap. A living room fire burns in the background.

A hand is pouring red wine from a bottle into a glass next to another empty glass, placed on a wooden table. A fire burns in the background.

A standing lamp in the corner of a room glows across the walls. A small wooden table with flowers and a lit candle, and a hanging picture are on the right.

A medium sized black and white dog lies on its front on a brown blanket on the floor with a plush hedgehog toy under its extended front paw.

Two people dressed in white sit on wicker chairs beside a fire. One has a brown blanket, the other sits beside a brown cushion whilst shuffling a deck of cards.
