Stuwwelpeter

I don’t know how many of you know Struwwelpeter. Struwwelpeter is a collection of stories of misbehaving children and the disasterous consequences which followed. Think Grimm’s fairytales….but much Grimmer (Ha…you see what I did there!!).

Well, when I was in Frankfurt recently I stumbled upon the Struwwelpeter Museum. On 4 floors you can learn everything about Struwwelpeter, Suppen Kaspar, Hans-Guck-in-die-Luft as well as the author Heinrich Hoffmann.

As a native German of some age now, I remember these stories all too well and consequently must have been a complete angel as a child as I’m sure my parents can confirm. Ahem.

London Design Guide 2013

The brand new LONDON DESIGN GUIDE 2014-2015 edition is now available.

Here is a picture of our dear friend the lovely Max Fraser, editor of the LONDON DESIGN GUIDE which is now in its third edition. Max popped by our recent Pop-Up Shop to say hello and as usual it’s a real treat to see him. By the way, Max is also the deputy director of the London Design Festival which just finished and I’m sure we can all agree on what a marvellous job he’s done this year. Below is a bit more info on the LONDON DESIGN GUIDE.

For fans of contemporary and vintage design and those looking to access it, LONDON DESIGN GUIDE gives a fresh insight into the city’s design retailers, galleries, museums and bookshops.

More than 150 new and established hotspots are compiled and reviewed, providing a tantalising viewpoint of the design capital of the world. Each entry is categorised by neighbourhood and accompanied by detailed maps to help navigate the best that the city has to offer.

In each of the ten neighbourhood chapters, we’ve honed in on streets that demonstrate a healthy mix of independent shops and services and asked selected business owners to comment on their evolution and attributes, with contributors including Stephen Webster, Ally Capellino, James Brown, Sam & Sam Clarke and Michael Anastassiades.

Furthermore, restaurant, bar and café recommendations are featured for each area, selected as much for their design credentials as for the quality of food and service.

The 208-page LONDON DESIGN GUIDE is a snapshot of the design scene today, a celebration of creativity and a practical tool for Londoners and tourists alike. There’s no better incentive for exploring the wealth of design in the capital.
