London designer Kia Utzon-Frank, who also creates sculpture-like cakes, made this hypnotic mobile from dichroic film and fishing wire. As the sun hits the decoration, rainbow-hued shadows are cast around the room.

This year, London designer John Booth was enlisted to decorate the Christmas tree at the London Edition hotel, and did so using a range of ceramic baubles he had designed and hand-made. The decorations are available to purchase in sets of four, with proceeds going towards The Albert Kennedy Trust – a charity that supports LGBTQ+ youth affected by homelessness.
