Why we still love copper!
Fashion trends, like anything these days, constantly changes and adapts to the outside consumer. Whether it be huge trends like flares in the 1970s or fidget spinners in the 2010s fashion, beauty, interior and gadgets change. But we are trying to cling on to one particular trend - copper!
It seems like it was like a whirlwind romance with copper and marble where you would see it on every street corner and in every living room. We're not complaining we loved it! This beautiful rose gold tone creates a certain elegance to products in a way that I don't think silver or gold can achieve. The complimentary palettes are endless with copper looking great with dark charcoal all the way up to blushing pink there's not much that doesn't go with this heavenly hue.
We've got beauties from Studio Sweet & Sour as well as Goodnight Light to show you just how awesome it is - KEEP COPPER ALIVE!

Hooray for cactususes...cacti?
Here at Oli Olsen HQ we are succulents for a cactus or two! (see what we did there?) They are dotted around our office like little spiky friends that add a bit of colour to the room but also say "Don't mess with us!"
The perfectly prickly pears were the inspiration taken by artist Eva Newton on creating the Goodnight Light Cactus Lamp. The plant in question was the Nopal Cactus whose vivid flowers and colourful form breaks up even the dustiest plains of Mexico.
These spiky pieces are made from shatterproof vinyl that has been intricately moulded to resemble Eva's sketches and pay homage to the real thing. This eco friendly lamp uses LED technology which means it doesn't emit heat and can last thousands of hours. They omit a wonderful warming glow across the room to create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. It comes in 4 colours - pale green, tropical green, mint green and white.
Made in Spain with love - Goodnight Light lamps are a great accessory to any home. Shop all lamps here.
