An Artful Sweep: Display-Worthy Household Brooms - Remodelista
In my house, the broom serves a dual-purpose: a standard sweeping assistant and a noise-canceling device (used to bang on the ceiling during our neighbors’ wild parties). For those of us lacking a proper broom closet, utilitarian goods end up front and center.
From Andrée Jardin, one of our favorite broom-making studios, the Full Shovel + Brush is designed by French bloggers Mr. & Mrs. Clynk.
This object can quickly become essential”; €79 ($98.20) from Andrée Jardin.
The Laundress’s attractive and easily accessible Horsehair Broom is made in Germany and sells for $60.
From dip-dye specialists Lostine in Pennsylvania (remember their color-block cutting boards?)
A closer look at the trio and its variations.
Another model from Andrée Jardin, the Broom Design by Mr. & Mrs. Clynk comes in two 1970s-inspired colors, hot orange or teal blue; €41 ($50.96) at Andrée Jardin.
From Swedish company Iris Hantwerk, which employs visually impaired craftspeople, the Swedish Broom has a birch handle and palmyra fiber brush; £18.50 ($23) at Objects of Use.
