Window Shopper

The quintessential English store Fortnum & Mason offers beauty both inside and out. Designed by Paul Symes, their Visual Stylist, this window display illustrates the heritage and spirit of this shop.


Since 1707, they offer delightful delicatables, fresh food, confectioneries and so much more... from far and away.

Every time I enter Fortnum & Mason's unique universe, I crave more. For the foodie or creative in you, here are some musing products and designs.

Gobstopper

Some say I have a sweet tooth just because I crave cupcakes for breakfast, ingest candies as snacks and eat dessert first. Whatever, I'm workinonit with the 2006 instrumental hip hop album aptly titled, Donut by producer J Dilla. As always he hits the spot.

For those who have a sweet tooth and a musical ear -- put your records on. ♫

Olio d'oliva

I am tempted to buy these just based on the design itself. It's all in the details, from the bottle's shape to the elegant typography and the expert styling -- it's all to much. Probably tastes good too. Bon appetito!

Simunovich Olive Estate | New Zealand

“Extra Virgin Olive Oil made from a pure variety of olives, produced in the famous region of Jaen, Spain. Traditionally Olive Oil is known as liquid gold, Au (lat. Aurum) is the symbol for the element Gold in the periodic table. Every tin of Au Olive Oil symbolizes a golden brick containing a pure variety of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a resemblance to gold in the brightness, the reflection of the oil in the light. Olive Oil is getting more precious everyday. Instead of creating a false coat of arms, we created a stamp using the 79, the Golds atomic number as the main signature for the rest of the range of oils, to give it more value and as sign of pureness.”
