Handwoven Seagrass Brushes | Set of 4

There is no rule that says the things you clean with have to look depressing.

British Colour Standard’s Seagrass Brushes turn one of the most utilitarian objects in the house into something you might actually leave where people can see it. Handmade in India using traditional techniques from Rajasthan and Bengal, each brush combines natural seagrass with jute stitching, a cotton-wrapped handle, and a different color drawn from the British Colour Standard archive. Use them for sweeping crumbs from the table, brushing dirt from the potting bench, or whatever small domestic mess has announced itself today. And because they're handmade and dyed in small batches, variations in size and color are part of the deal. Four useful little objects that make cleaning marginally more attractive, which may be the most we can reasonably ask of cleaning.

About the Brand:  Britsh Colour Standard

British Colour Standard has built an entire design world around the radical proposition that everyday objects don't have to be visually apologetic. It started when founders Jackie Piper and Victoria Whitbread discovered an original 1930s British Colour Standard dictionary tucked away in an Oxfam shop and decided its wonderfully specific archive of historic colors deserved another life. Today, those rediscovered shades appear across candles, tableware, textiles, and objects for the home, with an emphasis on thoughtful materials, Fair Trade craftsmanship, and responsible production. It's part design archive, part color obsession, and a pretty convincing argument that progress occasionally looks like finding something old and realizing we shouldn't have forgotten it.
