In house has been at the forefront of Edinburgh's design furniture and product market for a quarter of a century and is in my humble opinion, the best shop in the city to find great quality, well designed housewares. Split over two floors at 28 Howe Street, the chic exterior does not do justice to what lies within.
On the ground floor are ranges of furniture from design classics to the cutting edge, all carefully sourced and matched with precision to fitting partners. The basement holds predominantly household and kitchen accessories formed to perfection by a wide range of suppliers.
Perhaps the biggest selling point of all here is the knowledgeable staff for whom nothing is too big an imposition. They will happily source you any design product you are searching for, or assist you in making informed decisions on product choice.
Studio one at 10 - 14 Stafford Street in the heart of Edinburgh's West End was founded some 40 years ago. From that day forth they have been renowned for bringing good quality design products and curiosities to our city. They stock an eclectic range of housewares, gift ideas, jewelery books, children's toys and much more and though relatively small it is a real pleasure to wander through. With my interest in Scandinavian design I am delighted that they stock a small range of Iittala products especially the Taika crockery and a few examples of Alvar Aalto's glass vases.
