Cool Shop Find: Hostem Spring Store London
Since its conception in 2010, Hostem has been evolving quietly, solidifying its place as a holistic destination where fashion, art and design meet.
Fashion is where it all started, stocking brands exclusive to Hostem such as Alice Waese, Atelier Baba and Nicholas Daley. All garments need to satisfy the Hostem standard of the ability to tell a story of craftsmanship through artisanal details that often get discarded in mass-produced fashion. It is a brave challenge Hostem puts to its visitors, to be more perceptive to conservative luxury.
The new Hostem Spring Store expands the appreciation of craftsmanship using different mediums. Inspired by the works of Oscar Tuazon, the green oak framework that houses the main shop floor was constructed without using a single nail. The most noticeable difference is the presence of light. If the Redchurch location was a dark maze of discoveries, light from the spring store’s vaulted glass ceilings displays each and every detail for your inspection.
The extensive content on display at Hostem Spring Store takes time to digest- from Pierre Jeanneret’s Chandigargh furniture to featured artworks from the likes of Graham Collins, Lucien Smith and Kika Karadi.
Having a brain- overload? No worries. You can take a break around the Douglas fir Marfa picnic table with drinks served in hand thrown ceramics while listening to daily curated playlist blasting from bespoke sound installations.
