Contempo is built on a clear and intentional set of values that guide every buying decision, supplier partnership, and customer interaction:

Originality – We avoid anything generic or overdone. We seek the unique, the overlooked, and the surprising.

Curiosity – We’re led by that “ooh, what’s this?” moment. If we’re excited, you will be too.

Playfulness – Whether it’s a cheeky candle or a pun-filled notebook, we believe our products should make you smile.

Design-Led Thinking – We obsess over how things look and feel. Beautiful packaging, clever design, meaningful form—these matter.

Inclusivity – Our shelves reflect a spectrum of personalities, tastes, and price points. Great design shouldn’t be elitist.

Independence – We champion small makers, independent brands, and ideas that don’t follow the crowd.

Escape to the wild beauty of island landscapes with 20 stunning knitting patterns inspired by the coast.

Island Knitting takes you on a captivating journey through Shetland, the Hebrides, Gotland, and Blido with knitwear designer Erika Aberg. Each chapter begins with the culture, history, and traditions of each location, alongside the native breeds and types of wool that make these places so special for knitters.

The 20 patterns include cosy sweaters, warm socks, and stylish shawls, all with detailed instructions and easy-to-follow colour charts infused with the sea, wind, and spirit of each island. An essential techniques section at the start covers all the key information you need to get started.
