Imagine a world without waste… We love the concept of
ReBorn® – the world’s first homewares brand made from local waste.
Their new bathroom range is made from 100% waste plastic. Pioneering the transformation of waste into stylish and practical homeware.
Dedicated to creating planet-friendly homewares, ReBorn is actively challenging the way traditional makers operate. Using recycled materials such as plastic film, resulting in a low carbon footprint and reduced landfill, all whilst supporting the local economy.
Founded by Brian Walmsley, with one key mission in mind: to create a premium and sustainable homewares brand in an industry rife with products that are mostly imported from Asia, made from virgin materials and ‘co-moulded’ with different materials, typically making them non-recyclable and non-repairable. This means they ultimately end up in landfill.
Funded by private investors, as well as through the Conduit EIS fund, ReBorn launched exclusively into John Lewis in September 2023; with ongoing expansion throughout 2024 and is now available at NEXT, Dunelm, Amazon, B&Q and independent stores.

For adding extra brightness and personality to a space we found this portable light ideal. With 3 brightness levels one being a candle effect and up to 19 hours of illumination this rechargeable lamp is a handy backup for the home but also a great gift.
For Emergencies: If your primary lamp fails or runs out of charge, having a spare ensures you won’t be left in the dark.
Multiple Uses: You might want to use one lamp in different locations, such as a desk, bedside, or reading nook. A spare allows flexibility without needing to move it around.
Seasonal or Event Lighting: Spares can help when you’re decorating for events or need additional mood lighting in different spaces.
Backup for Outdoor Use: If you use it for camping, evening picnics, or outdoor gatherings, a spare ensures you’re covered if the original gets damaged or misplaced.
