Storage - winner: Elephant Bookshelf by The White Company
This white-washed rattan bookshelf is designed in-house and features one of The White Company’s most enduring characters, Kimbo the elephant.
Every component is handmade, from the metal framework through to the hand-weaving of the rattan outer shell, making each shelf completely unique. The judging panel all fell in love with this witty character, and wondered if they could get away with it in their own homes - not just in kids' rooms.
“This is a really fun and practical piece for a child’s room and rattan is very of the moment” says Sarah Spiteri.
