Stylists’ favourite products for the kitchen and table

LYNSEY FRYERS-HEDRICK

Stools by Tindall for Smith and Carmody

“Made from Australian tallow wood – I love the simplicity and architectural nature of these bespoke stools I spotted at Cornersmith café in Marrickville in Sydney. I’d like to have them made in a lower version to sit under my desk, dining table or even to use as a little side table in the loungeroom.”

The Original Dualit toaster

“Dualit has brought out a rainbow of colours and finishes in its signature toaster, but the original polished chrome finish is still my favourite – I love the industrial look and the stainless steel will age nicely over time.” Two-slice toaster, $375, from Peters of Kensington.

Wooden boards from Little Rae

“Simple and raw – these are great to use as platters for bread, cheese and condiments, or to display a collection of flowers. Yes, I need a few of these.” From $99 each. Little Rae, Berry, NSW. (02) 4464 2544.

CLAIRE DELMAR

Kuro Kuma Nashiji 210mm Gyuto

“Working with the right tools makes cooking all the more enjoyable. Once you’ve used this knife, you’ll never use a standard kitchen knife again.” Gyuto knife, $239.95, from Chef’s Armoury.

Slab + Slub platter with copper guilding

“I love everything ceramicist Alison Fraser does. The mix of the organic shape with the metallic – which is so on-trend – is what sets this piece apart.” Porcelain platter, $95, from Small Spaces.

Uashmama grey paper placemats

“They’re a beautiful soft grey and I fall for everything that’s grey and made from paper. Yep, these Italian paper placemats are perfect for my table.” Uashmama paper placemats, $12.50 each.

LUCY TWEED

Society linen napkins

“They remind me of a floppy shirt. They’re designed to be used (not saved for a special occasion), and designed to be used by food-loving Italians, so despite what feels like a delicate linen thread count, they last and age beautifully.” Napkins, from $228 for box of six, from Ondene.

West Elm cutlery

“This cutlery is a lovely warm-toned alternative to stainless steel. I’m so happy to see that the most practical set of utensils in the kitchen is getting some design attention. I feel like it’s the start of something.” Gold cutlery, $39.95 for a four-place setting, from West Elm.

1803 knives

“These beautiful handcrafted carbon-steel blades make these look especially rustic and each one is unique. They’re made by Tom Hounslow in the Huon Valley of Tasmania for 1803, which also produces the most amazing venison. Owning one is very special”. Knives from $220, from 1803.

EMMA KNOWLES

Mud baking dish

“The perfect combination of utilitarian and beautiful – I’m a big fan of everything Mud. I love their colours and particularly this piece.” “Baker” dish, $160 (medium), from Mud Australia.

Candle by Tom Dixon

“I love the copper container of this candle, the fragrance and the fact that the marble lid can be used a coaster when the candle is finished. It adds a beautiful gleam to my table.” “Eclectic” candle, $113, from Dedece.

Jardan dining table

“I love the combination of textures in this table, with its marble top and wooden base; it’s a little beachy but still sophisticated. I also really like the wear and tear that the marble shows; it feels loved and used. It’s really great for rolling out pastry, too. It was a major investment, but one I’m so pleased I made.” American oak base/Carrara top “Navy” table, $6257 (length 210cm), from Jardan.

LISA FEATHERBY

Nais linen tablecloths

“We’re mad for linens here at GT and this 100 per cent stonewashed table linen, in neutral tones from white to charcoal, stands out. They have a lovely soft finish; it’s important your table isn’t too starched.” Nais tablecloths, $179.90 (170cm x 300cm), from Francalia.

Ceramics by Studio Enti

“Handmade yet practical plateware is top of my lust-list. Ceramicist Naomi Taplin’s ‘Porcelain Dusk’ range in shades of grey is gorgeous.” From $30 from Studio Enti.

Matthew Hilton candle holders

“These modern candle holders offset the more organic pieces which I tend to dress my table with, and the steel and brass is a match made in heaven.” “Industry” candle holders from $277, and “Drop” candle holders, $145, from Spence & Lyda.

JERRIE-JOY REDMAN-LLOYD

Country Road jug

“I love the clean simplicity of Country Road glassware and this jug is super-versatile. It’s perfect for fruity, icy concoctions or a beautiful bunch of flowers – these are from floral artist Fjura.” “Tio” large glass jug, $19.95, from Country Road.

Tiles as trivets

“One day I’ll cover my floors and walls with these beautiful tiles, but for now I’m happy using them singularly as trivets on my table.” Popham handmade tiles $310 per square metre from Onsite.

Platter by the FortyNine Studio

“The talent behind The Fortynine Studio blows my mind. They’re clever people making beautiful, tactile platters in stunning colours. This one’s equally perfect for a generous salad or a big hearty roast.” “Flip Flop Slip” platter, $95, from The Fortynine Studio.
