STRING SHELVING

For those daunted by String Shelving we've made buying it simpler with different sections for the Modular system, split into the three panel colours (black white and grey). From there you can buy your complete system. For those familiar with String we've also added a Components Section where you can buy the individual elements too. We've also added the new uber cool String Pocket (the all in one small shelf pack) in Artek Grey (pictured) and the muted, slightly larger String Soft. For those who don't know this Swedish brand it's the ultimate answer to 'utility chic' storage - and fantastically priced too!

Flos Can Can Light

The Flos Can Can Light - designed by Marcel Wanders - is an exceptional value pendant light with a dual personality. We saw this in Milan and submitted it to The Daily Telegraph as one of our hot pics from this years fair (as best small interiors shops winner). Great to see the larger version is now available to order. The clean and simple silhouette appeals to the modernist in us whilst the contrasting filigree diffuser gives Can Can a traditional twist. With a black or white body each comes with a diffuser in clear or pink. Can Can is available now and the smaller version - Mini Can Can - will be available from September. Prices have yet to be confirmed for Mini Can Can but the large one is on sale now for £178.00 with FREE delivery - fantastic value for a Flos product and Marcel Wanders design!

Mondaine - New Simply Elegant

The new Simply Elegant range from Mondaine takes the classic Mondaine design and has refined it to create a range of watches which - as the name suggests - is Simply Elegant! Perfect for a more dressy look there are six styles - three in a gents size (41mm) and three in a ladies size (36mm). Whilst both sizes come with the classic black and white dials with black straps the larger size also comes with a steel mesh strap and the smaller size is available with a red strap. It reminds me of the Ole Mathiesen watch I bought in 1998 (and we used to sell) - slender, crisp and beautifully refined! See Simple Elegant - Gents Watch and Simple Elegant - Ladies Watch
