Design notebook: turn your light into a Christmas mobile Yumiko Sekine's Tokyo-based firm Fog Linen Work has its beautiful textiles made in Lithuania, whose history of linen production dates from the Middle Ages. These 130 x 205cm cotton blankets are stitched with the Lithuanian word senovinis, which can mean both "pristine" and "old-fashioned." £95 each from Folklore. Pass the parcel If you fancy treating yourself this Chrismas, have someone else do your wrapping. M&S has launched a wrapping service for online purchases and in 14 stores. £3.50 per item. It's good to chalk There's no messing about with Labour & Wait's utilitarian blackboard, which is just right for shopping lists, reminders and love notes. It costs £55, measures 50.5 x 36 x 9cm, and comes with a box of chalk and a sponge eraser. Non-speaking part The Danish television drama Borgen was a visual treat for design fans. One of the highlights was a scene shared by the lead character Birgitte Nyborg and the equally compelling Pelikan chair. The still-popular chair was designed in 1940 by Finn Juhl, one of Denmark's leading figures in design and architecture. £4,250, Nest.
