Lightly Launches ‘Second Nature’ Homewares Collection.

Australian homeware brand Lightly’s latest collection, Second Nature, celebrates the comfort and sensibility that comes with practice and habit. The range of over 30 new items is born out of Director and Designer Cindy-Lee Davies reflecting on 14 years at the helm of the brand, simultaneously embracing things that change and things that don’t.

Enduring design, functionality and a sense of resourcefulness are fundamental to Davies’ design approach. Classic and modern influences are united by elementary forms and Lightly’s distinct mid-century practicality, with the range including trays, planters, goblets and brand new objects such as the ‘Essence’ incense holder. Architectural features such the Arc breathe new life into classic pieces like the ‘Lunae’ fruit bowl.

A colour palette inspired by places and people near and far represents personal reflections on the interplay between consistency and change. Vibrant forest green and teal bring the comfort and ritual of home to the fore, telling the story of grounding and change through Davies’ relationship with her young son, Teal Oliver Lightly.

“Second Nature and it’s colour palette are a personal reflection on the interplay between consistency and change,” explains Davies. “We’ve gathered colours from afar, bringing them home to find a place beside those that represent what’s familiar and practised – and the locations of personal growth in between the two.”

Shades of earthy and soft ochre, nutmeg and sand originate from the Atlas Mountains and provide a distant and subtle backdrop to Second Nature, giving teal and forest green pride of place. A nod to travel all over the world, the muted yet powerful colours have grounded Lightly collections over the years.

Lightly maintains a years-long commitment to enriching lives by bringing habit, practice and the grounding force of mother nature into the home. The brand’s belief in creating a personal sanctuary entails a sensory approach that brings harmony and wellbeing into any space. Planters in simple, bold and balanced shapes are central to the new collection, with new styles including the Vera and Arc. Each planter comes in a wide range of colours, various sizes, and are suitable for both indoor or outdoor use.

Second Nature collection will be available at the Lightly showroom, 3 Glasshouse Road Collingwood, VIC and online at lightly.com.au.
