Birds and Books: Our Beautiful Windows..!

The weather is lovely right now, so take the opportunity to take a stroll and come and look at our BEAUTIFUL windows! We are always making the effort to put something exciting in our new window space next door and at the moment we have a lovely display by Tim Gosling, promoting his new book, Gosling: Classic Designs for Contemporary Interiors.
In addition we have a fantastic window display by Jorja Wilkinson Design - it's stunning! She is a textile designer from North Yorkshire who designs prints based on birds and flowers, all created in her 1930s Cricket Pavillion studio.
We have some gorgeous cushions in the shop at the moment with her textile designs on them, and she can tailor her designs to suit your interiors!
Our windows are always changing, so literally watch this space for more exciting displays!

Hot off the Press...

Recently published is a fantastic comprehensive guide to all the best design hotspots in London, and guess who is in it... well, of course we are!
The London Design Guide offers tailor-made walking tours with suggestions for restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and speciality shops (like us), all selected with the design-savvy visitor in mind.
The London Design Guide quotes us as being "simply inspirational" and "a draw for smart local professionals - in fact anyone seeking a conversation piece for a coffee table or to give as a gift. It is also worth keeping an eye out for the regular signings and book events - a cut above the rest."
Well, we can't say we're not pleased with that! Bragging aside, this is a wonderfully practical and resourceful guide for any design enthusiast, so come in and get your copy! It's only £10 and really worth the spend.
Also hot off the press is Tim Gosling's new book, Gosling: Classic Design for Contemporary Interiors. We will be working alongside Tim to create a lovely window display during the Decorex Fair weekend (27-30 September) and he has kindly agreed to sign copies of his lovely new book for our customers! If you would like to reserve a copy to be signed you can call us on 020 7730 4235 or email shop@pottertonbookslondon.co.uk.
