SEA INSIDE
That weekend on Salt Spring has us pining for a seaside second address—if only we could shore up enough funds.
Instead of crying salty tears, we're bringing the sea inside with 18 Karat's latest home décor collection, Tafoni.
Named for the circular hollows that form on sea-weathered stone, the collection is a stunning interpretation of the Gulf Islands' rugged and sculptural geology—whether it be vases adorned with glass barnacles ($435), earthenware bowls in organic shapes ($15) or chunky hand-knit throws that evoke nature's textures and colours ($180-$230).
And the local designer's love affair with the region didn't end there. To coincide with the line, they created a coffee table book by the same name further heralding the Islands' natural beauty through relevant facts, photography and poetry.
That's our kind of swept away.
