To celebrate Museum Shop Sunday on 1 December, we asked some of the Kettle’s Yard Front of House team about their favourite items from the shop. Take a look at the objects, cards and clothing inspired by the house that they have chosen for their own homes.
Home Comforts
Little Enn Labels
Chosen by Florence“The labels designed by Little Enn make a really nice finishing touch on these jars of homemade chutney!”
East End Press Incense Sticks
Chosen by ChristineThese incense sticks were chosen by Christine. They’re a recent addition to the shop that make a lovely fragrant gift for the home.
Gaudier-Brzeska Abstract Design Silk Scarf
Chosen by Kiarash“I love this silk scarf, it’s very special for me as it is this beautiful magical drawing of Henri Gaudier-Brezska, which I absolutely adore – quite an electrifying piece – and the glory of silk combined with that is just sensational and very special.”
A Piece of the House
I bought the dog as a treat to myself soon after starting at Kettle’s Yard. It was my favourite collection item at the time and I think part of the replicas appeal was in being able to touch it – although I don’t take it to bed like the Ede grandchildren did!
