"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.
