Product news: these candle holders by French designer Marie Dessuant come with handy inner compartments and were designed for British furniture brand Another Country.

Launched at the London Design Festival last month, each candle holder has a ceramic lid that can be removed to allow small objects to be stored in the base.

The base is made from turned oak and comes in three different sizes, each with a handle that protrudes from one side.

Designed in Hackney: designer Ian McIntyre hand-crafted this pottery collection for furniture brand Another Country at his Hoxton studio in the London borough of Hackney and fired some of the pieces in his own kilns.

The range of tableware includes a jug, pinch pot, plate, bowl and cup.

The pieces explore the properties of different clays including industrial terracotta, stoneware and porcelain.

Another Country first presented the ceramics as part of their Series Two collection during the London Design Festival 2011.

Ian McIntyre graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2010 and we featured his degree project on Dezeen, which was a set of tableware that included Chai teacups. His studio is located on Ermine Mews, just behind Kingsland Road in Hoxton.

Here is some more information from Another Country:

Another Country launches a second furniture collection, a chair by Mathias Hahn and a range of accessories at designjunction during London Design Festival 2011.

British firm, Another Country, experts in beautifully hand-crafted, contemporary wooden furniture, will launch their Series Two collection this September, alongside two new ranges of interior accessories.

designjunction, an exhibition of the best of contemporary design, will be held in an exclusive central London location. Here Another Country will display an extensive range of products, including new launches and pieces from their acclaimed first collection.

Building on the success of their Series One collection, Another Country celebrates its first anniversary with the launch of Series Two; this collection of furniture is a purposeful departure from the aesthetic of Series One. It is constructed from pale ash and rich walnut, with metal detailing, and makes use of clean, angular shapes. Although different in form, Series Two upholds the values of the brand and is therefore a further celebration of quality craftsmanship; the series, just like Series One, is hand-made in Another Country’s Norfolk and Dorset workshops. Series Two is also cleverly designed for easy transport: all leg systems fold inward, trestle-style, whilst the sideboard can be dismantled and flat packed. The new range of furniture includes a dining table, benches, a coffee table and sideboard.

After a long period of careful development, Another Country is very pleased to introduce its first chair. The chair has been designed to complement the Series One collection of furniture and has been designed by young German design talent Mathias Hahn. Hahn is renowned for his functional yet playful approach to product design and has achieved a wonderful chair for Another Country that is robust, functional yet equally charming and individual. Mathias has previously collaborated with Another Country on the design of Desk One and Bar Stool One.

In a move intended to extend their offering to objects for the home, two new accessories ranges are being launched at designjunction, both of these are designed by young British designers and both are manufactured in the UK.

Simon Donald has designed a handsome and hard-working desktop accessories range that consists of a pen holder, a tape dispenser, an eraser pot and a pencil sharpener. The range is made of lime wood in a Welsh workshop. Simon has also designed a Series One-inspired desk clock that will be presented alongside the desktop accessories.

The second accessories range consists of a beautiful pottery collection designed by Ian McIntrye. Designed, crafted by hand and fired in Ian’s kilns in Hackney, East London, the range is a carefully considered reworking of traditional, functional, table top ceramics. The collection is made up ofindividual pieces that each explore the qualities of different clays. It includes a jug, pinch pot, plate, bowl and cup. The clays used include industrial terracotta, stoneware and porcelain. The collection is a fine interpretation of Another Country’s concern with contemporary craft; each piece is entirely hand-made, multi-functional and designed to endure, both stylistically and practically.

Visit Another Country at designjunction from 22 to 25 September 2011. Victoria House Basement, 37-63 Southampton Row, London, WC1B 4DA

The post Series Two by Another Country appeared first on Dezeen.

English furniture company Another Country launched their inaugural collection at The Tramshed as part of the London Design Festival last month.

The first series features ten wooden items, including stools, tables and benches, made at the firm's workshop in Dorset, UK.

Designs are inspired by a mixture of British vernacular, Shaker, Scandinavian and Japanese woodwork.

The information below is from Another Country:

A New Furniture Brand

Another Country makes contemporary craft furniture. Our designs are archetypal, calling on the familiar and unpretentious forms of British Country kitchen style, Shaker, traditional Scandinavian and Japanese woodwork. It is the spirit and functionality of these honest forms of furniture that Another Country endeavours to re-interpret for a modern customer.

Another Country aims to deliver quality and longevity at fair prices - our products are built to last, both in terms of construction and style, and are sold direct to the consumer via its website.

Another Country’s products are made from solid wood and produced by hand in a small workshop in Dorset, England.

Series One

This first collection from Another Country is as clear and simple an interpretation of our intention as we could manage. We have taken familiar forms of craft furniture and pared them back to their most basic elements and made them using the most efficient workshop techniques and the best quality wood. This is our Series 1.

Collection

The launch collection is made up of ten pieces: a stool, a bar stool, a bench, a coffee table, a console, a dining table, a daybed and a kids’ stool, step and table. In addition we produce a limited edition ash stool and bench for Monocle Magazine and an accessory peg rail.
