Karen Walker

As part of a new series we are asking our friends to share their favourite Everyday Needs pieces. This week fashion designer Karen Walker shares an edit of her most used items.

1. Arnold Circus stool

Martino Gamper's Arnold Circus Stools not only look great but are very durable. We use them in our staff room and they give character to what would otherwise be quite a simple space.

2. Hario glass teapot

I use one of these teapots every single day to steep my fresh ginger tea.

3. Japanese bath towel

We stay at The Claska Hotel every time we are in Tokyo and these towels from their Do Store are great.

4. Type 75 mini Anglepoise lamp

I've had one of these lamps on my desk for five years and I love it. Elegant and a beautiful dusty colour.

5. Kaico milk pan

My husband Mikhail gave me this milk pan for Christmas last year. I use it every week for one thing or another - for me that makes it the perfect present.
