Our favourite gifts for Christmas: what a performance!

Last week our store in Fulham Road played host to a surreal piece of performance art inspired by the circuit board/wiring theme of their windows – (inspired in turn by the award-winning Plumen light bulb).

It was created by film maker and costume designer Lucy Butler, with Jo Stobbs playing the mysterious and mischief-making piece of wiring.

Here are some photos of Jo doing the performance art in the Chelsea windows.  

The display itself looks suitably fabulous – with all our favourite Christmas gift ideas dotted in amongst the bright red wiring- the instantly recognisable Plumen lightbulbs rising up like triffids at varying points around the grid.

And ooh – is that some of the brand new Conran Bath & Body range we can spy down there at the bottom…?!

Look at that amazing Plumen light bulb tree!

Conran: Sunrise to Sunset at The Conran Shop

The weather might have taken a bit of a turn for the worse but over at The Conran Shop Summer has definitely arrived!

The windows of the London, Paris and Japanese stores are showcasing a series of outdoor rooms with a ‘Sunrise to Sunset’ theme from breakfast through to evening drinks with morning and evening birdsong playing in each zone.

A sculptural form constructed of wooden slats snakes through the windows creating outdoor areas and a play of light revealing different colour combinations from warm oranges and reds through to cool blues and whites.

The windows will be in all Conran Shop stores until 3^rd June.

The Conran Shop head of visual, Betsy Smith created these fab installations.

“Our outdoor collection is so diverse and I wanted to highlight this by grouping colours together to create maximum impact starting with orange at the beginning of the day moving to dark blues and purples.”

A shopping trip guaranteed to brighten up even the cloudiest of May days.
