Offering a rigorously edited product mix that includes the kind of lifestyle ephemera my dreams of domestic bliss are built on – earthenware tea strainers, birch handle dough scrapers, ox bone chutney spoons and delicate bonsai scissors -  Workshop Living Brighton is a general store for modern times.

Owners Jayson and Ryan aren’t swayed by consumer trends, but they do perfectly chime with an appetite for artisanship and authenticity. The store’s calming, pared-back interior reflects their distilled philosophy of function-meets-beauty. Their curation of utilitarian homewares is complimented by a cherry-picked selection of accessories (think linen slippers, Cubitts sunglasses, contemporary minimalist timepieces by Australian brand The Horse, and beautifully woven willow rattles for babies), all curated with impeccable taste and purpose.

The message is simple – live ethically, beautifully, and champion the small, the slow, and the local. This sublimely distilled aesthetic is meticulously applied, making the mundane, covetable.
