antennae • What’s hot in kitchens and bathrooms, edited by Nathalie Wilson

VALUE-ADDED TAXONOMY • This past year nature has been a balm for Maude Smith, who left London to take up temporary residence back home in North Yorkshire. Here the artist and maker has reawakened her delight in depicting the plants and animals of her local countryside – and printing the images on tea towels. Their scientific air reminds Charlotte Edwards that classifying the world brings its own kind of comfort.

GO WITH THE FLOW • With the launch of VitrA’s new showroom in Clerkenwell, a new wave of ideas is breaking on the shores of bathroom design. With experts on hand, a 4D virtual-reality theatre and new ranges on view, it’s a draw for all creative people

antennae roundup • If a kitchen is a machine for living in, here are some machines to live in your kitchen, crows Grace McCloud

TOP OF THE PILE • If you think your surfaces would benefit from a spring spruce, why not give our suggestions the red-carpet treatment? Be it for kitchen or bathroom, Max Egger has an imperial feel for materials and an unparalleled guile with tiles. From hexagonal terracotta to honed marble, he’s got it all covered.

BRASSWARE BAND • If you’re looking to inject a bit of oompah into your kitchen or bathroom you will know that the right taps and showers are instrumental, whatever your taste. But which to pick? From polished-pipes-and-valve classics to fittings that strike a more modern note, Jessica Hayns’s medley will blast you away. Trumpet fanfare, please…

MAKING HISTORY • ARTICHOKE IS CREATING NOT ONLY LIVEABLE, ARCHITECTURALLY SYMPATHETIC INTERIORS, BUT ALSO ROOMS THAT WILL BE ADMIRED AND ENJOYED FOR GENERATIONS

GLOW WITH THE FLOW • These days no bathroom (or kitchen) need be banal or merely functional, not with sanitaryware that would be the envy of Cleopatra. So picture yourself, in a closet of candle-lit toile, lying in a Siberian larch tub, athwart a ‘Thunderbox’ throne, or rinsing your fingers in a Carrara console. Max Egger supplies fixtures and flickerings.
