For the first artist install we handed over a wall in the shop to artist/designer Zoë Tynan-Campbell from Stumped Studio. You can check out her work on her website.

"Stumped is the story of a girl who calls three places home, for three very different reasons. The taste of Göteborg, the bustle of London and the green green grass of Wales. 

​Working from her studio in South London, Zoë - the brain behind Stumped - creates gifts and homewares designed to make your mouth corners turn upwards."

Every 6 months we'll invite an artist to create an original design for the wall, so if you have an idea for something that would look great then drop us an email.
