Design Feature: Mineheart

Mineheart was launched in 2010 by designers Brendan Young and Vanessa Battaglia with the same aim they hold today: to create designer furniture that is more than just functional. The brand are well known for designing unique and quirky products that have the ability to completely trandform interiors. Their name, which is inspired by the Shakespearian quote ‘Mine eye and heart…’ mirrors their dual passion for love of tradition and eye for contemporary design.

Mineheart are continually looking for inspirational work, new materials and interesting collaborations to create their stunning collections. They have worked with numerous artists from all over the world, such as Himitsuhana, Chad Wys, Angela Rossi and Joao Figueiredo. Their products, ranging from furniture, wallpaper, lighting, wall art and home decorations and accessories, ooze individuality and style while developing classical ideas in new and unexpected ways.

Mineheart have an eclectic collection of cushions that draw inspiration from an array of subjects while utilising sharp geometric shapes and flashes of bold colour to introduce a contemporary look. Their cushions feature a range of images, varying from scenic views to traditional portraits reminiscent of royal paintings from centuries ago. The Lords and Masters Cushion, for example, features three commanding portraits of English aristocracy that are juxtaposed by the striking geometric design on top. The small sections of bold purple, blue and yellow are also a fantastic touch that adds even more character to the cushion. With this design, Mineheart have created a contemporary yet classic piece that will add a quirky nature to any room.

As well as having a fantastic eye for design and an innovatively creative nature, Mineheart also have a great sense of humour – this is shown best in their cushions featuring animals posing as humans. Clad in clothing and a crown fit for a princess, the flamingo in the Princess Flaminga Cushion makes for an incredibly interesting design that will grab your attention with its unique and unusual qualities.

For a fabulous collection of designer lighting, look no further than Mineheart. The brand boasts products such as eccentric table lamps that will inject character into any room and ceiling lights that will bring a little glamour into your home. The Gold King Edison Pendant Lamp, exudes a stylish and sophisticated nature, with a gorgeous hand blown glass lightbulb that encases an intricately detailed miniature brass chandelier. The grandeur of the chandelier and the simplicity of the lightbulb ensures a stunning contrast in a design that will create a bold statement in your home.

The Mineheart Feather Table Lamp, which is available in either black or white, will introduce a touch of old Hollywood glamour to any home. This strikingly dramatic product features overlapping delicate feathers that create a shade around the light source, helping to emit a sultry glow that will suit the bedroom perfectly.

Mineheart have a diverse range of rugs that will help add texture, warmth, pattern and style to any room. The Persian Polkadot Midnight Moods Rug mixes the classic Persian rug design with contemporary polka dots. Its gorgeous rich blue tones and floral design contrast stunningly with the lighter shades of the polka dots, creating a stylish piece that will liven up your home.

The Renaissance Cowhide Rug will make guests stop and stare with its striking and eye catching design. The image of a young girl by artist Himitsuhana is digitally printed on the rug with overlaid tufts of fur creating a warm and wonderfully textured piece, sure to have an impact in your home. Unlike real cowhides, this rug is hypo-allergenic, washable and will always lay flat!
