Dinsdale, a small design studio founded by artist and maker Hannah Dinsdale, is a collection of functional art objects and an extension of her sculptural art practice. Rooted in play, kaleidoscopic colours and patterns, the pieces share similarities with nostalgic and everyday objects, such as curly-cord telephones, “99” ice creams, thorny plants, and spiral hair ties. These objects draw references from a mixture of visual material from Victorian furniture, children’s toys, and digital symbols, creating unusual yet familiar domestic pieces.

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated Monday round-up of what we’re loving right now. From our favourite pieces on Glassette to a recipe, a watch, a read, a place to visit, a restaurant, and a gift worth bookmarking.
Each week, every member of the Glassette team shares their current favourites, whether that’s new arrivals, pieces we’ve spotted trending, or timeless finds we can’t stop thinking about. Think of it as a weekly dose of joy, discovery, and design inspiration, handpicked by the Glassette team.

Nice Things This Week

Eleanor is Glassette's Buying and Brand Acquisition Manager - the person who sources new homeware and lifestyle brands for the platform, shapes the ranges, and spots what's worth paying attention to before most people have clocked it. Every month, she shares the products she can't stop thinking about, the trends quietly moving into interiors, and honest recommendations she'd genuinely spend her own money on.
This month: the back-to-school dread that ends, as ever, in a new notebook and a house full of primary colours, the frames built around a polaroid strip rather than in spite of it, the tea towels she's decided are too good for the kitchen and has hung on the wall instead, the yoghurt topping the whole office keeps asking about, and the six mirrors doing six entirely different things with the same object.

August Product Diaries

In 1967, Anna Castelli Ferrieri designed a storage unit that didn't look like storage at all. Three stacking drums, a swivel base, doors that click shut with a satisfying half-turn. Kartell has barely touched the design since. Today it sits in bathrooms, nurseries and design museums with equal confidence. Below, we take a closer look at the story behind the Componibili, and the injection-moulding breakthrough that made it possible.

A good lamp does more work than people give it credit for. It sets the mood of a room before anything else in it does, softens a corner that would otherwise go unused, gives a house somewhere to look warm at 6pm in January. The nine brands in this edit all understand that a light fitting is sculpture with a job to do. Some lean into colour and whimsy, others into restraint and material. Here's who to know.

In 1956, Charles and Ray Eames unveiled a chair designed to feel like "a well-used first baseman's mitt". It took three years, seven prototypes and one abandoned plywood shell to get there. Since then, Herman Miller has produced it with remarkably few changes. Today, it's part of MoMA's permanent collection and has found its way into living rooms around the world. Below, we take a closer look at the story behind the iconic chair, and the thoughtful engineering that made it a design classic.

Tennis has never really needed much - a net, a rectangle, someone to hit with. Which makes it all the more striking when a court ends up somewhere extraordinary. The ones on this list weren't built for convenience: they're carved into cliffsides, tucked inside deconsecrated churches, and laid out on rooftops above the Paris skyline. A clay court suspended over the Tyrrhenian Sea. A converted chapel in Milan where the rallies happen beneath vaulted ceilings. A lone court in the Serengeti with an audience of giraffes. Whether you play or just appreciate a good view, these are eight courts worth crossing the world for.

Summer 2026 is set to be a rollicking one for music, and album covers have been nothing to turn our noses up at either. From Charli xcx to Kelela and Madonna, we’re assured months of sound that is sonically riotous. But what would décor look like if left to the devices of the albums set to soundtrack the scorching weather? From vivid pastels to minimalist backdrops and landscapes with gritty edges, here’s décor fueled by this summer’s most anticipated releases – and the albums already setting the tone for the months ahead.

2026 albums as interiors

There's a particular kind of hotel that doesn't just give you somewhere to sleep, it gives you a colour palette you'll spend the rest of the trip trying to describe to people at home. The kind where the decision to paint every wall a specific shade of green, or to tile an entire courtyard in hand-painted blue and white, wasn't a branding exercise but something closer to a personal conviction. From a clifftop fortress in Calpe that Ricardo Bofill designed in shades of deep red and purple, to a Rajasthani haveli where every room is a different jewel tone, to a quietly extraordinary guesthouse on a car-free island off the coast of Senegal - this guide is for those who book by atmosphere as much as location. Eleven hotels where colour isn't decoration. It's the whole point.

Hotels if you love colour

Dopamine Dressing, Dark Romanticism, and the Return of Maximalism. The 2026 Met Gala looks as the interior trends we're seeing right now. The theme was fashion as fine art, but every look told us something about the rooms we're craving right now.

Product Diaries - March

“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same,” Cathy Earnshaw declares in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. If that sentiment were an interior, it might look like this: an all-pink bedroom that feels flushed with emotion, not sweetness. As Emerald Fennell’s new film pulls the story back into the cultural bloodstream, glimpses of the sets and costumes suggest a bold, surreal fever dream of Gothic romance. Cathy’s bedroom is the purest expression of it, a masterclass in pink that reportedly nods to Margot Robbie’s own skin tones, with layered textures and uncanny, intimate detailing that leaves the space saturated with her presence.

Most of us want the same thing from our bedrooms: to switch off. But somewhere between laundry piles, over-bright lighting, and well-intentioned styling, calm can quietly slip away. Learning how to create a calm bedroom isn’t about chasing a minimalist ideal or copying a hotel room wholesale. It’s about understanding what helps your nervous system slow down, softer light, fewer decisions, materials that feel good to touch, and then shaping the room around that. Calm isn’t a look. It’s a feeling you notice when you exhale.

Creating a Calm Bedroom

In 2026, let your interiors moodboard begin on screen. These five films are immersive worlds where colour, composition and object placement feel quietly intentional. Watch for painted walls that set the emotional temperature, fabrics that catch the light, and rooms styled with a restrained confidence: a few standout pieces, thoughtfully spaced, doing more than a crowded shelf ever could. There are motifs worth borrowing too - florals that feel modern, metals that read softly rather than shiny, and palettes that balance sweetness with edge. Consider each film a design reference point: part escapism, part study in how atmosphere is built.

For this Best of Lighting edit, we’re focusing on pieces that do more than just illuminate, they set the mood. Think soft, warm glows balanced with cleaner, clearer light: lighting that feels comforting. 
The best designs strike that sweet spot between atmosphere and function. Together, they create spaces that feel considered, calm, and quietly uplifting. From sculptural pendants to understated table lamps, each piece has been chosen for its ability to elevate a room without overpowering it.
