Take some time out from shopping the high street or placing online orders and head to a Christmas Market this year, supporting independant businesses. We recommend the Crafty Fox Night Markets on Thurs 8th Dec & Thurs 15th Dec. The first is held at The Museum Of London, Docklands with a selected 70+ designer makers, workshops and a dj. [ open 4pm – 9pm ]
The second is taking place at The Geffrye Museum, Hoxton with 65+designer makers and artists selling their work. Grab some mulled wine and browse the stalls in this amazing space. [ 4pm – 9pm ]
Museum and tourist attraction shops are always full of great gifts, homeware and amazing design, and the shop at The Barbican is no different.
Not just for a postcard or a branded pencil this store is full of well curated ranges of modern designers including super ceramics, prints and homeware gifts.
The whole retro, midcentury (up to the 80s) design is emulated in the styles and trends that the products are designed to. If you like industrial, brutalism and midcentury design you’ll love the shop and be able to fill your home with great pieces.
And if you love that design even more, check out The Modern House (the modern estate agent) to see if there’s properties available to buy in The Barbican complex – love the style, live the style.
Goods available online but for the full range visit the store on site.

A fantastic idea. Affordable art from new talents. The ‘Junique‘ concept is innovative and allows what ever design you are attracted to, whether it be typographical, illustrative or pattern based, to be purchased on the medium to suit the brief – a new cushion, art work for the wall, printed onto bedding or even a shower curtain! Explore their website for the endless curated range of brilliant designers. Like the print ? Get the cushion to match! Like the quote on the poster, get it printed on a tea towel or even wall paper!
