Companion Co-design
Meet Kareen and Will Durbin, friends and collaborators of Everyday Needs and the duo behind our new Lawn Lounge Hat. The Durbin's are life and business partners, working (primarily) with migrants and former refugees now living in New Zealand.
1. Japanese Brass Ball Incense Holder
We have had one of these unassumingly perching at ours for a while. An equal marrying of form & function, it’s simplicity and elegance never ceases to please.
2. The Stanley Camping Coffee Press
We have such a penchant for odds & ends like this — acquiring them seems like a promise to ourselves of future escapes & explorations!
3. Birthday Beeswax Candles
SO festive, with a nostalgia inducing fragrance; a reminder of the much loved craft tent from childhood camps. These rainbow delights spruce up well intentioned but not quite perfected baking attempts.
4. Companion x EDN Lawn Lounge Hat
We have a design practice involving cross cultural collaborations with migrants & former refugees now living here in NZ. The Lawn Lounge Hat in canvas, made just for Everyday Needs, is an example of some of our simpler pieces. Wide brimmed for optimal sun protection.
5. Glass Keep Cup // Cork
Infinitely practical and lives up to it's name in terms of long-life span.
