Nana-Nani by PortsideCafé Furniture Studio

Consider this our official petition to back summer vacations filled with grandma’s pampering, her homecooked food and convincing her to tell us how she met grandpa for the umpteenth time. Forget When Harry met Sally, our favourite romcom of all time is when Nana met Nani! Meet the Nana-Nani chair, PortsideCafé Furniture Studio’s befitting tribute to perhaps the cutest love stories of all. Amidst the mid-century wooden frame and red leather cushions, two embroidered parrots sit as cosy as ever atop a wooden branch. Its old-time charm makes us wish we could park ourselves in it for unlimited access to nani-level pampering —snacks included, unsolicited life advice optional!

Did anyone actually trip over banana peels outside of the silver screen? We may never know, but Jaipur Rugs and designer Richard Hutten “slip” back in time to find out. Channelling their inner Charlie Chaplin, they explore the tongue-in-cheek slapstick trope from the silent movies in their collection, Playing with tradition. But this time, in technicolour! With the playful motif, overlaid on a handknotted traditional canvas, the Bananas rug brings a contrast you can’t help falling for.
