My favorite (The Conran) shop

If you're looking for a place that would stir your curiosity and creativity, I highly recommend you visit The Conran Shop! One particular store I really enjoyed going was the one in Paris!

"Founded by Terence Conran, The Conran Shop’s roots are in London, where it was responsible for the revival of the iconic Michelin House building. Always changing and always evolving, The Conran Shop offers a unique and personal blend of furniture, lighting, home accessories and gifts."

According to some reads I saw online, wood has always been a strong part of The Conran Shop’s aesthetic. It’s a material that never dates with a patina that gets better with age and adds a sensual texture and weight to ground a scheme. This year, in their spring season, The Conran Shop pays tribute to wood in design – sourced from sustainable forests, with finished and unfinished timbers in oak, ash, beech, European and American Walnut. So whether it’s a glorious oak furniture piece or an accessory in a luxurious walnut finish that gives that earthy, rough luxe feel, wood adds warmth and texture to any interior.

Enjoy the magnificent place that is The Conran Shop!

A look up close. 
Full view of the invigorating site.
See how creatively they make use of unexpected materials to grow the plants.
Be careful no to sit on them!
Another "plant art" at the other side of the area.
What I love about it is they make it fun and engaging.


Are these made in the Philippines?
Look at this giant wooden bowl! Wonder how old the tree this came from.
See what I mean? Amazing right?
