STYLE NV Review - The Betsy Smith Bar, London NW6

The Betsy Smith opened it's doors recently and STYLE NV went to check it out the interior design. The Design team behind it, Kai Design, have created a fictional Dickensian character, 'Betsy Smith' whom roamed the sreets of Kilburn, north west London, where the bar is located. The design concept is inspired by a fantastical, theatrical, Victorian, fairground. Inside you are greeted with so many topsey turvey wonderland installations, that it is hard to know what to look at first. http://tinyurl.com/2vlef3r

REVIEW - The Surreal House

I was filled with a feeling of excited intripedation as I approached the start of The Surreal House exhibition at the Barbican in London. The pitched roofed house with Marcel Duchamp leather clad window shutters were dark and foreboding. Set on two floors, the exhibition is laid out like a house, with bedroom, stairs, bathroom and living room. When dealing with Surrealism, I guess you have to expect the unexpected and this house is not very ordinary. Interiors and Not Very ordinary? A sound like just up STYLE NV’s street, and it certainly was!http://www.stylenv.co.uk/blogs/blogEntry.cfm?b=3
