The duffle coat, can you believe it, has been around for two years, and as yet hasn’t had a proper introduction. What is this place coming to? Especially egregious, this, since, in its construction, the duffle blazed the trail for many of the coats and jackets that've come along here since. The coat itself is in most w

This time last year, you might remember, there were murmurings here and there about a parka — in development and progressing at great clip. It had the novel idea, this parka, of a saddle shoulder — a thing of knitwear and since rehoused on the flight jacket — as well as an all-round umbrella flap, a tunnel hood, an inv

Many people are looking to reduce their carbon footprints and make eco-friendly choices, and there's no better time than Christmas to encourage this mindful approach to gift-giving. If you want durable, eco-friendly, and valuable products, check out sheepskin items. The wool of sheepskin protects from heat and electricity. It is naturally durable and biodegradable. These materials offer warmth and softness while adhering to sustainable practices.Here are 6 of the best sustainable Christmas present ideas, featuring classic pieces like sheepskin slippers, boots, gloves, rugs, lambswool knitwear & driving shoes: 1. Sheepskin Slippers: A Cosy & Durable Delight Nothing can feel better than wearing warm, soft slippers after a long day. They keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It feels like climate change is in our control. Instead of synthetic materials that can take hundreds of years to decompose, sheepskin breaks down naturally over time. There's nothing better than gifting something beautiful and comfortable. When you gift sheepskin slippers to a friend or family member, you make them feel you value their comfort. You can keep giving these excellent gift ideas for years to come! 2. Sheepskin Boots: Stylish Warmth for Winter It's the only natural fiber that bends more than 200,000 times, but its shape remains the same. Whether you have slim feet or wide feet, sheepskin boots fit according to your body. You will look wonderful if you are a skirt-and-dress type of person, so don't worry about giving up your favorite dress for comfortable shoes. Real sheepskin boots are comfortable, warm, and very light, which helps you to walk for a long while without experiencing any pain; these boots let you live in comfort all day long. The perfect gift this Christmas! 3. Sheepskin Gloves: Luxurious Warmth for Cold Days Sheepskin retains the wool from the sheep, which has insulating properties that help keep you warm. These gloves and mittens offer strength and flexibility with a sturdy grip, which makes them excellent for driving as well. These gloves have several benefits over regular leather gloves: Gloves made from sheepskin are warm and comfortable to wear in cold weather. When choosing sheepskin gloves for a Christmas gift, choose reputable brands that follow sustainable and ethical production practices. These gloves are made to last, adding a touch of class and comfort to anyone's winter wardrobe. 4. Sheepskin Rugs: An Eco-Friendly Touch of Luxury Sheepskin naturally breaks down without damaging the environment, in contrast to synthetic rugs made of petrochemicals. It's also a renewable resource, as sheep are not harmed in wool or skin harvesting. You can even wash it regularly to keep it clean. Sheepskin rugs are a perfect gift for someone who values comfort and style in their home. Placing one on the floor, draped over a chair, or at the foot of the bed adds a touch of luxury while maintaining an eco-friendly aesthetic. 5. Lambswool Jumpers & Knitwear: Warmth with a Conscience The fibers of lambswool used to make jumpers and knitwear are cozy and soft. They keep you warm in cold weather, feel gentle on your skin, and are lighter than regular wool. Lambswool is natural and eco-friendly, making it a beneficial choice for the environment. These jumpers and sweaters are comfortable and stylish, and they are perfect for staying warm in the winter. These are unique Xmas gift ideas for this season! 6. Driving Shoes & Loafers: Practical & Stylish Driving shoes and loafers usually have thin, flexible, and durable soles so the driver can better feel the vehicle's pedals with their feet. These shoes' design provides superior control, which is precisely why people prefer them. They also come in various designs, models, styles, and colors, allowing buyers to choose the pair that best suits their needs. These are the perfect Christmas gift ideas for both him and her this holiday season! Why Choose Sheepskin & Lambswool Gifts This Christmas? Sheepskin is a natural insulator that reacts to changes in temperature to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The lanolin coating on wool fibers repels water, dust, and dirt. Wool is an annual gift from sheep, while synthetic materials rely on fossil fuels. It is biodegradable, which leaves no trace behind. Its classic style means it will stay in fashion for years to come. They wick away moisture from your feet, helping to keep them dry and reduce the risk of skin irritations. They also have natural self-cleaning mechanisms that keep them looking and smelling fresh. If you want to make this Christmas perfect, choose sustainable natural products. Sheepskin slippers, boots, gloves, and rugs are ideal gifts for her and him this holiday season!

Just across the road from our own workshop in Walthamstow sits another place where the smell of timber, the hum of machinery and the trace of human hands tell a story of London making. Walking into Isokon’s factory to interview Scott Willats feels instantly familiar. Different materials and different tools, but the same spirit: a commitment to problem-solving, shaping, and carrying local craft forward. Scott is part of the next generation of makers keeping that lineage alive. As Isokon’s Digital Manufacturing Specialist, he works at the intersection of heritage and technology, translating ideas into forms through CNC, CAD/CAM and hands-on experimentation. His journey, from building toys out of cardboard as a child to shaping moulds for contemporary plywood furniture, reflects the same curiosity and care we value in our own atelier. In this conversation we step into his world, where digital innovation meets the legacy of one of Britain’s most iconic furniture makers and where craft continues to evolve just a stone’s throw from our doorstep. Let’s start at the beginning – can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you first got into making things? My name is Scott and I am the Digital Manufacturing Specialist at Isokon. I studied Industrial design at Brunel University and have since expanded into the manufacturing world, mainly working with CAD/CAM and CNC reductive and additive manufacturing. I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. My brother taught me how to sketch when I was very young and I spent my playtime making my own toys from cardboard packaging, forever covered in glue and tape. I was like a cat you buy a toy for and they end up going wild with the box. What was your first experience in a real workshop like? What do you remember feeling? At secondary school I naturally leaned into my creative tendencies - creative writing, art and design. This was my first access to a workshop and I was inseparable from it. I remember trying to work through the curriculum at light speed so I could work on my personal projects. Really basic stuff but incredibly formative. How did that hands-on interest evolve into studying industrial design at university? And what was that like for you? It evolved naturally, I suppose! Designing for the world around me was something I was already doing without really realising it. My time at Brunel was a tough gauntlet but it shaped how I evolved as a problem solver and I bring those design and project management skills into everything I do now. You mentioned your final year project was selected by VF Corporation’s Global Innovation Initiative. What did that experience teach you about industry collaboration and innovation? Working with Thinking Additive and VF was a really fantastic learning experience for a recent graduate, if a little daunting! The project was all about creating and implementing bleeding edge 3D printing technologies for the fabrication of smart footwear. It required a lot of tight collaboration with really bright people and it taught me the importance of working with tight time and resource constraints, for sure. Before joining Isokon, you worked on a factory floor milling plastics for aerospace and automotive — what lessons from that world do you bring into your current work? This was my first proper job before uni. In that world, attention to detail and accuracy is paramount, working with tolerances of 100ths of a millimeter with very tight QA! I don’t have to be quite so accurate now I’m working in furniture, but the attention to detail certainly helps. For those who aren’t familiar could you describe your role at Isokon today? What’s a typical day for you, if there is one? We’re a super lean crew and so we all wear a lot of hats. I was originally employed to run the CNC mill; programming and operating the machines to produce timber parts and moulds for the makers at the bench. My roles have since expanded and I now do a lot of Design for Manufacture work, developing the design team’s ideas to be manufacturable in our workshop, thinking about the efficiency of processes. This also involves a lot of CAD/CAM, draughting technical drawings and writing manufacturing guidelines so it can be a really varied role. You’ve got a strong focus on digital fabrication. What excites you about CNC work, and what are some misconceptions people might have about it? I love being able to carve complex forms and geometries that would otherwise be impossible by hand. All digital manufacturing methods open up new possibilities and that’s where innovative ideas can be explored. There may be a misconception that CNCs are antithetical to craft/ making but I just see it as another tool in the belt. You mentioned the most exciting jobs are often small batch and bespoke. Could you walk us through one of your favourite recent projects and how you approached it? We recently made furniture for the Skinner’s hall renovation on Dowgate Hill in the City of London.. We made some elegant alcove benches for the basement hall and though their aesthetic is refined and unadorned, there were some really tricky machinings to figure out and it all came together really seamlessly. They’re lovely pieces. Isokon has a legacy in plywood furniture, how does it feel to be part of that lineage, and what challenges come with designing and making moulds for it today? All the mould making we do passes through the CNC mill. The NPD projects are some of the most fun for me as I get to really deconstruct the geometry that we’re trying to produce and figure out how to machine the moulds. The digital workflow allows us to produce some really interesting shapes and it's exciting to be a part of Isokon’s legacy. Looking back, what do you think you rebelled against as a teenager? French lessons! What’s your favourite piece of furniture at home and why? Is it a design classic, or something more personal? Living in London, I don’t have a lot of room for furniture, but I’m very fond of the Round Chair by Hans Wegner, the version with the cane seat specifically. As for my own furniture, a few years ago I made an oak media unit with a patterned, sliding tambour door - I have a thing for mid-century modern. What do you think makes something an iconic design? Is it function, material, story… or something else? I would say that icons are normally born from innovation, and innovation is normally facilitated by new technologies that allow for fresh solutions to problems, new and old. What advice would you give to young designers or makers just starting out, especially those who are more digitally inclined like yourself? For the digitally inclined, I’d say get your hands dirty. You’ll learn so much from hands-on work and I think a lot of young designers are very disconnected from how things are made. That foundational knowledge is essential to make physical things, especially if you design them digitally. In your view, what do we need to provide; as an industry or a culture — to help the next generation of makers thrive? Opportunity and experience. Thanks you Scott for sharing your experiences and thoughts!
