Here we chat to Josh about his Favourite Everyday Needs items and how he uses each piece.

1. The World of Apartamento

One of my first purchases from Everyday Needs and still is one of my favourite coffee table books. It’s a great read for those who are passionate about the way they live or for people looking for inspiration from quirky interiors that have a real lived-in look.

2. Arnold Circus Stool // Speckle

These have been one of my staple pieces of furniture over the past few years, with the more straightforward uses of a side table or seat to the more obscure uses like a laundry basket or a makeshift ice bucket/chilly bin. No matter what colour you choose, the Arnold Circus Stools can make a space feel that little more exciting and it will always be used wherever it ends up.

3. Mahsa x Everyday Needs // Tama Shirt - Ivory

A crisp white shirt is an essential piece in any wardrobe and this collaboration shirt with Mahsa is definitely one of the items at the top of my wishlist. The relaxed cut of it makes it a perfect shirt to have in the wardrobe, whether it's open and layered over a t-shirt for a dressed down look or buttoned up for a semi-formal look.

4. Brass Coffee Mill

My mornings are very routine based and coffee is definitely a big part of that. Having a handmade coffee mill that allows you to control how coarse or fine you want the grinds and helps maximise the aroma and flavour makes this mill from Mr Kitly another top wishlist item for me.

5. Sphaera Soap Bar // Kawakawa & Activated Charcoal

The soap bars from Sphaera are a simple pleasure and treat, something that has become a part of my everyday rituals. There is so much intention behind each choice of ingredient and the attention to detail for each intended use of each bar will help you enjoy each moment of selfcare.
