Martino Gamper

Martino Gamper is a London based designer who visits New Zealand each Summer. We caught up with Martino before he jetted back to London to chat about his favourite Everyday Needs pieces. 

"My selection is very much based on what I use and appreciate EVERY DAY! Its also a collection inspired by some people that I've met over the last years spending time in NZ. On my way home now and sad to leave this very special place and people!"

1. Rush table mat

A table mat for every occasion! To protect your table from the heat of a hot pot or a tea pot! Or just as a decorative centre piece. 

2. Ruth Castle garlic basket

Big fan of Ruth Castle, we use this basket every day, for ginger and garlic. Also love her woven dishes.

3. Rowsaan curved hook

I love hooks, can never have enough of them - and especially nice ones - a hook for any situation!

4. Godmother Stansborough wool blanket

Love these simple blankets, very warm and stylish, local and natural.

5. Wee-willie-winkie candlestick holder

The candle stick and the candle are just a perfect match, but I also like the wild clay approach and of course Laurie Steer, who is a very generous potter friend from the Mount. Laurie, we're back next year for more playing with clay!
