This book captures the new mood a return to a preference for the unique and the handmade. Design expert and acclaimed blogger Olivier Dupon has sourced the cream of the contemporary design world from all over Europe, Australia and the United States, profiling 75 artisans who use craft techniques, rather than mass-production methods, to create stylish, whimsical, covetable objects. Hundreds of colour photographs feature a huge variety of crafts, including art, ceramics, furniture, glasswork, jewelry, lighting, metalwork, papercraft, textiles and woodwork. Complete with a directory of products, and Dupon's personal recommendations for inspiring shops and websites to visit, this is the perfect resource for discovering unique and beautiful objects made by new, talented artisans from all around the world.

Christma-WHAT? Let us help you with your gifts!

To see the full post with pictures on the Berkelouw Paddington Blog, click here.

Are those sleigh bells I hear ringing? Or is it just the angry lady next door trying to get her cat to come back inside? Either way, Christmas is coming to town (again) and we've got you covered here at Berkelouw Paddington.

We've got plenty here to keep the kids happy with our pretty awesome collection of kids Christmas picture books, including How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Polar Express. And if you're looking for a cheeky gift for the child at heart or something for Kris Kringle, we've got The Little Book of Christmas, Happy Christmas Spot, and a collection of Mr. Men Christmas books, such as Twelve Days of Christmas, Mr. Christmas, and Little Miss Christmas.

If you're looking for something extra to add to your Christmas gifts, we've also got a whole lot bits and pieces you can throw in - bon bon kits, aprons, stockings, mugs, cards, candles, soaps, and lights, just to name a few.

And seeing as I have been a little neglectful of the blog, I just want to let you know about the recently arrived stock from Out of Print: we've got t-shirts ($39.95), notepads ($17.95), tote bags ($24.95), iPhone 4 cases ($39.95), coaster sets ($29.95), and cards ($3.95). The designs are covers of famous classics including Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, Melville's Moby Dick, Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, and Heller's Catch-22.

Lastly, if you're looking to buy something for the hipster that has everything, you can pick and mix from my personal hipster-pack: Haruki Murakami's 1Q84, Street Style Memory Game, Stuff White People Like (to talk about) Conversation Starters, Olivier Dupon's The New Artisans, and Matt Granfield's HipsterMattic (one man's quest to become the ultimate hipster).

 

Good luck with the shopping, and Merry Christmas!!
