LOYAL LOOT'S CANDY COLOURED LOG BOWLS

Provide has received our latest shipment from Edmonton based designers, Loyal Loot. The collaborative team of Doha Chebib Lindskoog, Anna Thomas, Carmen Douville and Dara Humniski, met during their years at the University of Alberta and formed a design team creating objects of integrity and timeless beauty. Best known for their Log Bowls that come in a large variety of colours and are completed by hand with a water-based, furniture grade finish. The wood used for these bowls is locally reclaimed and hand selected, no two log cuts will ever be the same. The bowls rustic exteriors merry with the sleek glossy interiors creating a stunning juxtaposition. Perfect as a gift for someone looking for something unique and beautiful.

We'd like to congratulate Loyal Loot for winning best Industrial Designer at this years Western Living Designer Of The Year Awards. We are proud to be carrying their product here at Provide.

BOLD COLOURS FOR SUMMER

Provide has just received some beautiful new home accessories in warm weather hues. Pictured are Italian leather boxes in ochre, orange and red from Oscar Maschera, the limited edition nesting bowls in yellow from Heath Ceramics and Martha Sturdy's new plum colour for her resin collection. Lovely!

LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION FROM HEATH CERAMICS

Heath Ceramics has just introduced their new limited edition seasonal collection and we at Provide are anxious to place our order. Inspired by warm-weather hues, the 2011 Summer Seasonal collection focuses on two yellow glazes, one glossy and one matte. As well, a soft white is mixed in on sides of serving platters, cups and vases that reminds one of sandy shorelines. The Spun Vase (bottom) is made in a limited quantity of 150 where the top layer of the glaze is stripped away with an etching tool to reveal the glaze beneath.
