Wood & Hue
The Wood & Hue range of wildlife homes is designed to offer lasting shelter for birds and bats. Each home is crafted from thermally modified ash, a sustainable timber that undergoes an advanced, chemical-free heat treatment. This process makes the wood highly resistant to moisture and decay, giving the homes extraordinary durability and a rich, natural brown hue. Providing safe nesting spaces is vital for supporting local wildlife, especially as natural habitats continue to decline. Offering a secure, long-lasting home helps birds and other species thrive in both urban and rural environments. Each Wood & Hue birdbox also features customisable metal plates, allowing you to add a personal touch much like choosing a unique front door for your own home. Not only do these homes blend beautifully into the landscape, but they also make a meaningful contribution to conservation efforts, encouraging biodiversity in your own backyard.
Tower & Tower XL
The Tower is a portable and versatile product designed for Magis, ideal for social gatherings. It features eight removable bowls made from beech wood, allowing users to easily present a variety of snacks for guests to enjoy. Each bowl is securely attached to a central container with discreet magnets, making it simple to remove, refill, and rearrange as needed. The powder coated steel container is designed to hold bottles of various sizes, depending on the user's preferred drinks, making it both functional and stylish. Its playful and interactive design encourages sharing and conversation, turning any table into a lively centrepiece.
For larger events, the Tower XL offers an even greater capacity, capable of holding two bottles and additional bowls for more food. With its clever construction and elegant materials, The Tower provides a fun, unique, and practical solution for enhancing social occasions, both indoors and outdoors.
