Love Art London

Art in London is amazing at the moment, there's the fantastic Damien Hurst Spot Paintings at the Gagosian Gallery (showing the complete works in all their Galleries around the word), the brilliant (or so we're told, still need to get tickets) new David Hockney show at the Royal Academy and then the intricate early work of Sean Scully. The show is on at the Timothy Taylor Gallery in Mayfair and is comprised of acrylic, ink, graphite, and masking-tape drawings from 1974–75. The colour combinations are wonderful, it's a great way to beat the January blues and will inspire you to create beautiful things.

Ready Steady 2012

Happy New Year to you all, from MON! We hope it's a good one!

Culinary Christmas

With everything becoming so wonderfully tasteful, Ladurée macaroons are only one example, we are craving a little bit of the old Christmas magic. Although possibly not the most delicious to eat, these 70's recipe cards are certainly a feast for the eyes. Why not treat yourself to desiccated coconut delights, Advocaat lemonade cocktails and cheese puffs, holiday magic! 

MON About Town

MON has travelled to Shoreditch to create it's first installation! CAFEAND in Redchurch Street is an amazing space full of interesting pieces including original furniture design and beautiful home-ware. It is here that we will call home until Christmas and we definitely recommend popping in to see the show and enjoy a cup of green tea and some amazing Greek pastries.

Designers Favourite

We are continuing our exploration of all thing 'ART' after the excitement we had at Frieze the other week. Our designer Monica has always loved Picasso's ceramics and comes back to them time and time again when researching. He started making pieces whilst on his holidays in Vallauris in the South of France, we just wish all our holiday activities turned out so well! As well as looking at amazing picture books (our favourite type of book) she also recommends 'Life with Picasso' by Francoise Gilot, an amazing insight into his life, work and family.

All The Fun Of The Fair

Whether you come to find the next big thing, to recharge your culture batteries or just to sweat out the alcohol from last nights party, Frieze Art Fair is still very much the place to be. This year, as ever, the exhibits range from the sublime to the ridiculous with tonnes in-between that we would love to have hanging in our living rooms. We definitely recommend a visit this weekend. www.friezeartfair.com

MON at the London Design Festival

Since our last post Ron Arad the great Tel Aviv-born designer has been awarded the London Design Medal, our congratulations to him. When accepting the award he said, "Thank you London - I couldn't imagine doing whatever I'm doing anywhere else in the world". However we were paying more attention to the fact that he chose to wear his MON scarf to accept the award, as always he looked great.
