Rader light houses
Räder, handmade in Germany

Little houses, warm light

Unglazed porcelain light houses, lit by a single tealight. Every window and door is cut by hand, so the light falls soft and low. Start with one, end up with a street.

Six makers, one idea

Read about us

Lark & Lake brings a small group of European makers to British shelves. Relaxound build sound boxes: small wooden objects that wait for you to walk past, then give you birdsong, waves or rainforest for a minute or two before going quiet again.

Remember have spent thirty years making homeware that refuses to apologise for colour. Paper lamps that glow like lanterns, striped glassware, wooden games worth leaving out on the table.

Räder work the other way, in quiet unglazed porcelain. Little houses with windows cut by hand that glow from a single tealight, vases with a line of poetry pressed into them, small things made to be given.

From Italy, Rose & Tulipani, La Porcellana Bianca and Rituali Domestici bring the table to life, hand finished ceramics and glass with a bit of theatre about them.

Order before 2pm on a weekday and it goes out the same day on Royal Mail Tracked 24, which usually arrives the next working day. Returns are open for thirty days. If something is not right, we will sort it out.

Relaxound Zwitscherbox Birdsong Box
The original, loved since 2013

The Zwitscherbox

The one that started it. Walk past and the room fills with forest birdsong for two minutes, then it stops on its own. People buy one for the hallway and come back for the bathroom.

  • 120 seconds of real forest birdsong, triggered by movement
  • Hand-finished wooden front, made in Germany
  • Battery operated, so it goes anywhere
  • Fourteen designs, from plain oak to printed
