Hopefully one day I’ll own my own Rob Ryan original. His amazingly intricate paper cuts (and limited-edition screen prints) are available at his online etsy shop, or at his new proper shop on Columbia Road. They have a bit of a wintery holiday vibe… so a great Christmas gift for that special someone!

I love the Aesop store on Mount Street in London. Designed by the legendary Ilse Crawford it’s a contemporary and luxurious twist on a traditional chemist’s shop. I’m impressed by the minimal yet warm vibe – and the inclusion of the cardboard packaging into the design. It’s like a pile of cardboard logs. Love it.

I’ve been a fan of Chicago’s Mat Daly for a while now – I’ve bought items for my own house, as well as pieces for friends and family. His prints run anywhere from $150 to $3,000… and if you’re nice to him he’ll ship internationally. Get in there!
