Established in 2015 Cassius & Coco sits perfectly in Crouch End Village, London. This homeware store doesn’t stock the usual products we see in other similar style shops. The people behind Cassius & Coco hand pick local and international designers and brands who are taking ‘creative risks’ with one of a kind objects.
Having visited the store last week we see this is true, with unique pieces that catch your eye and each one beautifully made and designed.
If you are looking for something a bit different then get down to the Cassius & Coco store, alternatively head to their website to see a selection of products.

Our favourite pieces include the stationary and prints.

Founded by mother and daughter team Cassie and Bev, Room 356 offers a selection of unique homeware, lighting, accessories and stationary.
The simple coherent collection of well designed items have been selected to enhance and compliment your home.

‘The ‘Name’ is where it all began when we opened our lifestyle store in October 2014: 356 being the number of the address of our retail property. The dream was to create an online store and retail space with a special and unique identity. We wanted to offer you the ultimate shopping experience, and to make each and everyone of you feel valued. As a Room 356 customer you really are at the heart and soul of our business. The space in our store has been thoughtfully laid out and each of our collections carefully selected with you in mind.’

We love the lighting, a vast selection of table lamps, pendants and bulbs, well worth a look.

Launching this Spring HAY has join forces with COS for a second time after their successful collaboration last year.
COS has been using HAY furniture for many years in their stores, so it seems very fitting that the two Scandinavian brands have come together.

The clean lines, soft colour palette and durability of HAY products mirrors that of COS and they compliment each other seamlessly.
The collection itself is made up of accessories, stationary and furniture in shades of green, blue and pink all hand picked by the COS team from the new HAY collection.

Last Autumn the two brands worked with Spanish designer Tomas Alonso  to create a folding table to be sold in COS stores. The success has lead to a continued partnership, and who knows what great things are next.

Available in COS – High St Kennsingtion and online at cosstores.com

[ HAY is available in some of the big department stores in London and around the country, as well as their stand alone store in Bath, plus you can hunt it out through online shops. ]

One of the most common storage solutions is the faithful cardboard box with lid – perfect for an office or bedroom. Finding the right size and colour isn’t always that straight forward so why not try making your own. You pick the colour and make it the size you want. Using simple techniques of folding paper or card, you can create your desired storage box in no time. We found some tutorials from designsponge.com, instructables.com and homemade-gifts-made-easy.com to follow.

After a recent visit to Bath we came across Found – a great looking contemporary shop full of an eclectic mix of stationary, homeware, clothing and more.
Owned by Olivia Brewer and Nik Blake, it’s described as a ‘mini department store’ which we would agree with. You enter into gifts and stationary, through to tableware and homeware and at the back is clothing and accessories.
The hand selected pieces all work cohesively together creating a very pleasurable shopping experience. It’s hard not to pick up and feel everything as you go round.
Found also has an online shop worth checking out if your not in Bath. But if you are planning a visit then you must pop into this one of a kind store.
