Nigella Lawson

The tools of a cook's trade have been transformed into covetable essentials in Nigella Lawson's Living Kitchen range. Who would have been seduced by a Parmesan grater or salad servers before their sexy, tactile redesign by Nigella and Sebastian Conran? But style comes hand-in-hand with practicality - each item is ergonomically designed and produced to a very high standard, so they work beautifully and stand the test of time.

"My cookware ranges are a mixture of things I felt I wanted in the kitchen but didn't exist," says Nigella. "Like mixing bowls in an ovoid shape, so cosy to cradle, or cappuccino cups with a saucer big enough for biscuits. I was feeling chromed out of existence so I chose domestic and soothing colours and materials. My Living Kitchen products infuse me with a good mood. They're so beautiful even if you don't use them."
