A Soft Bucket can do all kinds of things, like keep plants cosy, desks tidy and bread rolls warm. It’s a minor miracle!

Please note: Soft Buckets are not waterproof, so we advise you to remove the plant from the Soft Bucket before watering, and to have a saucer under the pot.

The humble tea towel is one of Third Drawer Down's signature artist products. A practical and fun way to dry the dishes, it can also be stretched onto a canvas at your local framer and double up as an affordable artwork for your home.

About the Artist:
Louise Bourgeois was a French-born American artist who used her art to work through her experiences and seek calm and strength. She once said, " “To give meaning and shape to frustration and suffering. The existence of pain cannot be denied. I propose no remedies or excuses.” Her interior life was often the basis of her work. The feelings she tapped into were universal yet complex and affecting.

Third Drawer Down in collaboration with Scottish artist David Shrigley present Life is Fantastic, a Domestic Art Tea Towel. This is a digitally printed artwork on 100% linen. It can be seen as a functional domestic art tea towel or an artwork to be framed and displayed

About the Artist:
David Shrigley is a Scottish artist who has come to prominence through his drawings, publications and sculptural works. His drawings have a kind of throwaway beauty peopled as they are with monster children, idiots, aliens, bad parents and full of twisted lists and exchanges. Shrigley’s artist’s books act as an index of his angst about modern living, his disappointments and his cynicism.

Drawing can be the most intimate of exchanges physically - the scratching’s of a pen on paper, the scale of the notebook, erasing and building and image. But it also acts as a cathartic action. Maybe not just for the artist but for the viewer as well. So in Shrigley’s work he’s also releasing something for everybody - tell us when we are no longer needed and we’ll go.

The Thomson Wall Clock from Lemnos is crafted in multilayered birch and walnut plywood. The simple, clean design includes a birch base layer that is only revealed due to the punched technique of the numbers on the clock’s face. The walnut plywood face is centered by the birch hour and minute hands, which provide a nice balance with the recessed numbers.

In 1952 the Danish artist couple Anni & Bent Knudsen began to create paper cuts and mobiles. Their designs would come to delight children and adults all over the world. The Knudsens received numerous design awards and their work is considered to be integral part of Danish culture. The UFO mobile, designed in 1956, was first shown in an exhibition at "Den Permanente" in Copenhagen, and this stylish mobile still fascinates today.

Paper, thread, and wire mobile.
