Meet the team: Caitlin

25 May

Here at Pitfield London, we LOVE our customers. We want you to love us too so we thought we’d bring you a new ‘Meet the team’ feature for a humorous insight into our lives…

First up – Assistant Manager, Caitlin Macrae, is a Sagittarius who was born in Hertfordshire and studied at the University of Plymouth. Caitlin loves the colour green, photography (she’s a BA Photography graduate and still an avid snapper) and likes chilling out to old soul music – hence the great tunes always playing in store! Her role involves helping customers buy our lovely, quirky items but she sometimes hates the fact she gets a sneak peak of everything as she just wants to buy things all of the time. We better watch out because her future goal is to open her very own curiosity shop and café! Want a giggle? Caitlin’s most embarrassing moment at Pitfield London was falling over a chair at the private view of our Nic Parnell exhibition! Oops.

Jade Jagger jewellery

17 May

Pitfield London‘s new exhibition is now open. You’ve admired the work of Klaus Haapaniemi and Nic Parnell,  now we bring you an installation in collaboration with Jade Jagger.

Think surrealist vinyl blown-up jewellery imagery, metallic furniture, vintage cabinets and neon logos! Her jewellery toys with Indian references, bold jewel tones and the creative limbo between old and new. The Jade Jagger at Pitfield London pop-up shop is with us for a limited time only…

Pitfield London: Close-up

2 May

Vasarely Print – Medium, £160 (more prints available in store) 

‘The art of tomorrow will be a collective treasure or it will not be art at all’ Victor Vasarely, 1953

Widely regarded as the father of Op art, Victor Vasarely’s optical images became part of popular culture and had a deep impact on concepts in fashion, technology and architecture. This framed 60s print is available from Pitfield London, along with another design in vibrant, warm tones. Also pictured is our Gyrofleur wallpaper, designed in-house (available for £140 per roll) and a vintage flat-shade lamp (£190).

Make an unusual visual impact with this beautiful piece, whether it be to complement a minimalist vibe in your living room, or to shake things up a bit in your antique-filled kitchen! The bright white, cylindrical shaped seat can be folded down so you can transport it throughout your house or store away when necessary. For the wild out there, the seat is also available in bright green and orange.

Friday: Cabinet Broom

6 Apr

 

Durable and inventive, Pitfield London’s cabinet broom (£33) is 147cm long and created with two pieces of retro-looking waxed beechwood and horsehair brushes. Suitable for cupboard recesses, it is also known as the ‘behind the cupboard brush’ because it’s ideal for cleaning behind your wardrobe and in hard to reach places. Store easily and practically right behind your cabinet.

Thursday: Dish Washing Brushes

5 Apr

There’s nothing more unsightly (well, almost nothing), than a stack of dirty dishes in the kitchen. Pitfield’s delightful dishwashing brushes (£2.50 each – what a bargain!) certainly make the kitchen sink look a little more stylish. Our black soft horsehair brush heads are perfect for washing cups and plates, whilst the cream coloured stiffer, hard plant fibre brushes can be used on pots and pans.
