Paul Smith opens Mayfair furniture boutique

Today sees the opening in Mayfair of a Paul Smith store dedicated to selling furniture and "things". On Albemarle Street, in a plumb location between Old Bond Street and Dover Street, the store will sell a variety of "things" whose only common characteristic is that they are 'unique'.

Paul Smith has always sold a selection of stuff accrued on his travels, but this is the first store completely dedicated to his eclectic but peculiarly defined aesthetic: think mismatching, unexpected combinations, and blends of high and low-tech sitting cheekily together.
