Minnie-Mae Studio is based in Margate, creating and producing ceramics, printed textiles and interior decoration. British seaside landscapes, the history of London, Greek mythology and Italian kitsch decoration inspire and inform her imagery and exploration of design, resulting in a healthy obsession with columns and seashells. Her hand-crafted ceramics are objects of empowerment, designed to evoke nostalgia and strength, whilst focusing on classical design.

Introducing Restaurant People, a new series about the people who open restaurants, and everything they decide before you ever sit down.
Every restaurant is a list of decisions. What colour the woodwork gets painted. Which table goes to the couple who booked six weeks ago. What plays when the first guests arrive, and what plays when the last ones won't leave. You feel all of it and notice almost none of it. Restaurant People is where we ask the people who made those calls to talk us through them - the building, the room, the menu, the wine list, the record that opens the night.
We're starting with Cassette, which opens to the public tomorrow at 42 Maiden Lane.
Mark Gurney and Matthew Bushnell have spent two decades in South London, Salon in Brixton, then Levan in Peckham since 2018, and have resisted going central for most of it. Cassette is the first time they've said yes: 56 covers inside, 20 on a terrace on a quiet pedestrianised street, in a building where Turner was born and Voltaire spent a year in exile, and which spent the 19th century as a furniture and stained glass workshop. It is French, deliberately and unfashionably so. Deep aubergine woodwork, art from Kempton Market, a 360-degree curtain, and a pair of Grundig Audiorama 8000 speakers playing disco. Essa Fakhry is in the kitchen, Madeleine Fawcett is front of house, and there is a serious commitment to calvados.
Mark talked us through all of it.

The centrepiece has been demoted. In its place: the salad bouquet, a vase of lettuce or kale arranged stem-down. Little Gem, lola rosa, a wedge of radicchio for colour. Edible flowers are optional, though nobody who has come this far tends to leave them out.

Our Co-Founder and Creative Director Laura Jackson drives two weeks up Ireland's west coast.
"Every summer we go somewhere less obvious. Last year Sweden and Gotland, this year Ireland. Three kids under six, a family van, a ferry from Holyhead into Rosslare, and two weeks working our way up the Wild Atlantic Way. We had planned to do it in a camper until we saw the price. What I hadn't expected was the food - local, seasonal, plain and very good - or how much better a pub is when there is live music and nobody is looking at your children. Tropical-looking beaches, cold Atlantic swims, lobster eaten on an empty stretch of sand. Ireland has my heart." Laura

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

Finding a gift that feels thoughtful, doesn't break the bank and will actually be used is no easy feat. That's where the Glassette Gift List comes in. Each month, we'll be sharing one carefully considered edit, built around the moments that actually matter. No endless scrolling, no panic buying - just the right things, for the right people, at the right time.

August Glassette Gift List

Wedding lists have a habit of playing it safe. Twelve of everything, in white, to be used twice a year. This edit takes a different view: presents the couple will actually reach for. Glassware with some personality, a casserole dish that will outlive the marriage certificate's frame, a butter dish in a colour that starts conversations. Some are practical, some are purely sentimental, and some are great to bring out when you have guests over (we’re talking about the Magnum). Whichever you choose, it says you put real thought into it, and that's what makes a wedding gift meaningful.

16 wedding presents to add to cart

The shell has spent decades being filed under "holiday souvenir" and not much else. That's over. Scalloped edges are turning up on lamps and mirror frames, mantelpieces are swapping their usual ceramics for conch and clam, and entire chandeliers are now being built from them - somewhere between a cabinet of curiosities and a beach house, minus the sand. It helps that the appeal was never really in question: no two shells the same, no improvement required. This isn't a coastal trend so much as good taste finally catching up with something the sea got right first.

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

Our Monthly What’s On is a curated round-up of the exhibitions, restaurant openings and residencies, and gigs we’re making plans for. From gallery shows and design fairs to new tables worth booking, cultural moments to catch, and the under-the-radar events you’ll wish you’d heard about sooner.
Think of it as your cultural compass for the month ahead: a considered edit of art, food, cinema and design, chosen to inspire weekends well spent.

What's On In June

There's a reason we spend so much time rearranging, repainting and quietly obsessing over the right shade of green for a single wall. Home is personal - more personal, probably, than most of us admit. This month, we've been thinking about that: about the objects that make a space feel inhabited rather than staged, and about the particular satisfaction of a room that couldn't belong to anyone else.
Our pride homeware edit is built around that idea. Pieces with colour and character, chosen for the people who know exactly what they want and aren't especially interested in playing it safe. Mustard Made, who are donating 10% of sales to LGBTQ+ rights organisation Outright International throughout June, sit at the heart of it, alongside a handful of other finds that feel considered, a bit daring, and genuinely built to last.
No novelty product here. Just good things, for homes with a point of view.

Pride Homeware Edit

Pinterest's 2026 wedding trends guide is here. In 2026, weddings are feeling less traditional and far more personal. Couples are moving away from polished perfection in favour of atmosphere, individuality and spaces that feel layered with character. Think candlelit pubs over formal venues, sculptural cakes, undone florals, analogue entertainment and tablescapes that borrow from intimate dinner parties rather than classic receptions. The modern wedding is becoming an exercise in world-building: expressive, cinematic and deeply reflective of personal taste, where every detail, from glassware to styling, feels curated rather than conventional.

Fruit is having a design moment, and at Salone, it's been impossible to ignore. From Laila Gohar’s surreal fruit carousel to Chloé’s tomato-shaped seating, it showed up oversized, playful, and unexpectedly refined. Less decoration, more statement: a shift towards interiors that feel abundant, expressive, and slightly theatrical.
This edit leans into that energy, pulling together pieces that echo fruit through colour, form, and texture. A little surreal, a little joyful, and very much of the moment.

Fruity Design

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a table spills over. Not messily, not by accident, but deliberately. Glasses catching the light, platters stacked high and passed without ceremony, chairs pulled in from other rooms because you needed them. This is XXL hosting: expansive, generous, and quietly theatrical in the best possible way.
It starts as a mindset shift. Forget tightly controlled dinner parties and overly curated place settings. This is about leaning into abundance - of food, of people, of texture, of noise. Long, meandering tables instead of perfectly appointed individual covers. Sharing plates over plated courses. A room that feels lived-in and evolving rather than dressed for a shoot.

XXL Hosting

Flowers don't need to be arranged so much as considered. The vase, the stem count, where you put them in a room - small decisions that add up to something that feels intentional rather than just bought. We've pulled together five creative ideas for styling cut flowers at home.

Creative Ideas For Flower Arranging

Whether you’re refreshing the table with a new set of napkins or upgrading your toast with a butter dish, here’s our breakfast tableware edit. Think egg cups for slow mornings, side plates for your croissant, and bowls made for yoghurt, granola, and fruit. Add glass coasters, salt and pepper shakers, and gingham table linens and the little extras that pull it all together.

A kitchen reset rarely starts with a moodboard. It starts with a quiet irritation: the drawer that never shuts properly, the mug you don’t actually like drinking from, the counter that somehow feels busy even when it’s clean. The kitchen is the most used room in the house - and often the least thoughtfully edited.
The Glassette kitchen reset isn’t about a full renovation or chasing trends. It’s about pausing, reassessing, and making small, tactile changes that improve how the room feels and functions. A better spatula. Fewer things on show. One beautiful object that earns its place. Done well, a kitchen reset makes everyday cooking calmer - and that calm adds up.
