The wooden robot and friends make up our brand new window installation, the creation of HOTTOPIXXX. Not content with one ‘x’, they picked three! HOTTOPIXXX loved our store, believing it nearly matched their own level of quirkiness, so contacted us with a view to work on an installation together. We let them take creative control and this is what emerged! The team are made up of 6 designers, illustrators and artists (namely Daniele, Dionne, Els, Fin, Geneva and Josh – see their website for individual links); together they produce large scale installation pieces for events and cool locations – e.g. us! The window installation was unveiled at last week’s private view alongside our current exhibition, ‘Common Birds’ by Louise West.

For a limited time only, admire the wooden window explosion, complete with mushy peas van (why not?) and let us know what you think to our new look over on Facebook and Twitter. Don’t forget to sign up to our newsletter too so you won’t miss out on future exhibitions and events.

Thanks HOTTOPIXXX, we think the window couldn’t get wackier!

Pitfield exhibition gallery

Happy April all!

We said goodbye to our first exhibition of 2013, Designersblock x Pitfield London, at the end of last month. The colourful madness that was 30+ designers from Designersblock fused with eclectic Pitfield products has been replaced with  an inspiring vignette for the new season! Elsewhere, our window display is showcasing a spring cleaning theme with assorted pieces both practical and pretty!

Back to our exhibition gallery, you’ll find a stunning room set, which amalgamates investment furniture pieces with cheap and cheerful delights from a retro telephone to vintage ornaments and even some wacky taxidermy!

Tell us what you think over on Facebook and Twitter – we also have Pinterest and Instagram!

Next up in our exhibition gallery (from mid May) is a bird cluttered extravaganza! Illustrator Louise West will be displaying her beautiful sketches in an installation dedicated to birdies! Also on show will be a bright wallpaper, designed in-house, with Louise’s work and inexpensive mementos for all to enjoy! Choose a bright and cheery mug with bird illustration or even a lime green tea towel with owl and humorous slogan. Watch this space for all the details and don’t forget to sign up to our newsletter to receive important dates for your diary and invitations to the exhibition launches!

Pitfield London: Close-up

Bonsai Flowers Papercut Card, £4.50 

For those that don’t live near the family home, it’s important to be organised early for Mother’s Day, Sunday 10th March. Of course, we have an inspiring collection of gifts and curiosities to treat your mum to, but did you know we sold cards too?

We love this bold and bright illustrated card with gorgeous floral background in creamy pastel yellow. Adorned with twinking sequins, the beautiful flowers stand in an unusual pot and a nearly neon envelope makes sure mum knows which card to open first!

The card is blank inside for your own message so make things as soppy as you like! We have a variety of other cards in store and you can also buy this design on our online shop.

Interiors 2013

Pitfield London was heavily involved with Interiors 2013 this year with a pop-up cafe and shop to reflect our store in London, as well as owner Shaun Clarkson designing the champagne bar on site.

A few were scared away from the NEC by Birmingham’s snow but it was great to meet friends, old and new!

We hope you enjoyed the cafe treats and pop-up if you were able to make the show.

Stay in touch!
