The reworked 18th century Swedish bed takes pride of place in the exclusive One Room Hotel's one room 

New London menswear boutique Hostem and interior design label JAMESPLUMB are offering a chosen lucky few the chance to stay in London’s most exclusive pop up hotel.

The One Room Hotel – which has been designed for the prestigious London Design Festival by JAMESPLUMB, the duo who masterminded the sophisticated interior of Hostem – is a one-of-a-kind installation. During the day, it will act as a gallery for the restored and reinvented design treasures that JAMESPLUMB has come to be famous for. At night, however, those who have provided the most convincing reason for their one nights stay via the Hostem or JAMESPLUMB websites will be given the key to enjoy the space privately. The winners will gain access to the suite via a separate entrance from the store. A library and films from the design label’s own film archive await the guests, as does bed linen supplied by Matteo, beauty products from Aesop, and a complimentary cocktail and canapĂ©s available at Lounge Lover, the sister bar of Les Trois Garçons.

Artists James Russell and Hannah Plumb said of the experiment: “We wanted to take our installations a step further and allow others to inhabit them rather than just pass through, to have the experience for themselves.”

The One Room Hotel will be open from the 18th to 26th September. Visit here for more information.

The iconic British designer Paul Smith is to open his first women’s wear shop in the heart of London’s bustling Mayfair.

The boutique will boast a prestigious location next to Claridge’s opulent Ballroom in Brook Street, and will showcase pieces hot from the catwalk as well as shoes, bags, jewellery and accessories. A selection of these will be exclusive to the shop.

With such an illustrious and elegant neighbour to live up to the store’s design was always going to be immaculate. The interior takes it’s lead from Claridge’s Art Deco heritage and offers the shopper pure indulgence. Vertical pink and cream stripes adorn the walls, along which run deepest charcoal lacquered cabinets. The high ceiling is graced by two striking 1930’s Italian Murano glass chandeliers, which illuminate the collections to perfection.

‘We are really excited to be opening a beautiful shop in Claridge’s selling clothes and accessories for women and a small selection of gifts for men’ explains the designer himself. ‘I have been a big fan of the hotel for many years and have held several women’s shows there in the ballroom. It’s original Art Deco style really appeals to me so having this shop is very special to me.’    

No doubt, it will swiftly become very special to the many devotees of his designs as well.

Some of the most acclaimed names from the music, art, film, fashion and design worlds have joined forces for a new collaborative pop-up exhibition at the Haunch of Venison Gallery in London.

Daydreaming with
James Lavelle is the first in a series of annual ‘Daydreaming with...’ festivals aiming to examine the enduring correlation between music and art. Curated by James Lavelle of trip-hop duo UNKLE, each artist involved was required to produce a physical creative response to exclusive UNKLE music, ensuring amazing results.


Ahead of the exhibition’s opening today, the official launch party for Daydreaming with
James Lavelle was held in the gallery last night, attended by creatives including Nick Cave, Jefferson Hack, jeweler Stephen Webster and makeup artist Alex Box, bravely flouting the horrendous weather to preview this exciting new project.


Daydreaming with
James Lavelle will be at the Haunch of Venison until Monday 30th August. Entry is free, although tickets will be required for special events connected to the exhibition.
