Joanna Coupland...

 One of the designer/ makers who is stocked within the store I'm focussing my report on, the Imaginarium, is Joanna Coupland. Joanna produces a range of quirky creatures from her home workshop in York. She takes her inspiration from nature, in particular birds and animals, working with wire and paper to create unique, delicate pieces intended to make you smile.

Inspired by taxidermy, Joanna has developed her own range of animal heads including stags, zebras, foxes and hares and has even completed commissions of client's pets, from dogs and horses to fish.

Joanna is well known for her unusual lighting range. Products include standard lamps inspired by flowers (especially bluebells) and a range of fairy light lanterns. These include birdies, fish, fruit and vegetables, spiral pods.

I particularly love her quirky fairy lights- the forms are unusual and I doubt you'd find any thing similar in a high street store.
