Make room for your inner child with these playful finds for the home.
Pawfectly cuddly
If this fellow doesn’t make you smile every time you see him, we don’t know what will. The Rockabilly cushion cover is by Teo Jasmin. The uber-cool brand, which is stocked at Virgin Megastore, is dedicated to “active and socially conscious citizens”.

Charming idea
In this digital age, there is nothing like receiving a handwritten postcard. A set of 100 cards, featuring dazzling images from luxury book brand Taschen’s Magic 1400s–1950s tome, may just inspire you to write some personalised messages of your own.

Listening to your favourite tunes needn’t be a serious affair, so why not trade in your boring black headphones for something a little more fun? Typo offers Wonder Woman headphones in pink, but there are Batman and Mickey Mouse versions, too, if you are looking for something a little more masculine.

Poised to please
The articulated Waaf table lamp by Pierre Stadelmann is cute as can be. Made from birch wood, with an aluminium shade, there’s an inherent playfulness to the way it can be reconfigured to sit, stand and hold a variety of other poses.

A pick-me-up
We’re loving the soy-based, triple-scented slogan candles by Australian brand Damselfly, which are newly available in S*uce stores. With phrases ranging from “Good vibes only” to “Humble, with just a hint of Kanye”, we were hard pressed to choose a favourite, but were totally won over by the idea of not having to be grown-ups – even if it’s only for a little while.
