Aida Collection

Aida is a Danish tableware brand with a clear point of view: well-made, honest materials, designed to be used every day and to look better for it. Their RAW range is the heart of the collection at North Home — recycled leather placemats and coasters in dusty rose, clay, grey, and black, teak wood serving boards, butter boards, tongs, and plates, titanium black stoneware dishes, and the smoke glass beads glassware that brings a quiet, tactile quality to the everyday table. The RAW range works particularly well because it mixes materials naturally — teak alongside stoneware alongside leather — without any of it feeling contrived.

Beyond RAW, the collection includes the Confetti candyfloss pink cutlery set and placemat for those who prefer more colour at the table, SØHOLM handmade Scandinavian champagne bowls, mosaic glassware, salt and pepper sets in metallic brown and northern green, and a set of 100% linen tea towels that belong on any well-considered kitchen shelf. Prices start from under £10 — making Aida one of the easiest brands to buy as a gift or to use as the foundation for a new table setting.
