Timeless Art Deco with Van Cleef & Arpels High Jewelry
On view at Timeless Art Deco with Van Cleef & Arpels High Jewelry, until January 18, are some 250 pieces, organised according to four themes. Some revisit the origins of Art Deco, such as the 1924 ‘Entwined Flowers, Red and White Roses’ bracelet. Others trace the crystallisation of the house’s signature style, as in the case of a 1929 collaret dripping with diamonds and emeralds. A final section in the museum’s annex, which was built in 2014, focuses on Van Cleef & Arpels’ unique innovations: a 1937 clip features the house’s patented Mystery Set fitting; and a 1952 necklace zips closed to double as a bracelet. Jewellery lovers and design buffs alike will
be beguiled.
Timeless Art Deco with Van Cleef & Arpels High Jewelry is on at the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum until January 18 2026

From 2 December to 28 February, Miminat Designs will host a winter exhibition at its St John’s Wood atelier in collaboration with Atlas Gallery. The showcase brings together a selection of photographic works with Miminat’s sculptural furniture, creating a quiet dialogue between nature, architecture and form. The exhibition explores the meeting point between the raw geometry of brutalism and the softer, organic shapes that inform Miminat Shodeinde’s design language. Works on display include photographs by Sebastião Salgado, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Kacper Kowalski, ranging from expansive landscapes to more abstract compositions. At the centre of the space is a special edition of Miminat’s Howard Daybed, reimagined with upholstery inspired by her Yoruba heritage.

Pelican House’s Sona Collection
Pelican House has introduced the Sona collection, a set of handwoven rugs made in India and Nepal. “Sona,” meaning gold in Hindi, refers to the warmth that runs through the designs. The collection takes its cues from local light, landscape and symmetry, translating those impressions into simple patterns and soft textures. Each rug is made using traditional weaving techniques and natural fibres, giving the pieces a gentle, irregular character. The overall effect is calm and understated, with designs that work easily in both modern and more traditional rooms.

Feldspar and Berdoulat expand their collaboration with new lighting
Feldspar and Berdoulat are adding to their ongoing collaboration with a small lighting collection inspired by the forms of French pâtisserie. Designed jointly by the two studios, the pieces reflect their shared interest in craftsmanship and are made in England from fine bone china. The collection introduces a Canelé pendant with a matching ceiling rose in two sizes, along with two wall lights, the Madeleine and the Brioche. The designs have the gentle simplicity that runs through all Feldspar’s work while nodding to the sculptural shapes that define classic French baking.

Motif | Line | Colour: Ceramicist Frances Priest exhibits at Blackwell house
Edinburgh-based ceramic artist Frances Priest celebrates 25 years of work with an exhibition the iconic Blackwell - the Arts & Crafts House in the picturesque Lake District. Her striking ceramic vessels are inspired by a wide range of culture and historical periods. For this exhibition, new works inspired by Mackay Hugh Bailie Scott, who designed Blackwell, will also be exhibited. The iconic setting of Blackwell house feels more than appropriate considering France’s work is so inspired by Owen Jones’s design tome The Grammar of Ornament, which also served as a key reference point for many figures in the Arts & Crafts movement.
Frances Priest: Motif | Line | Colour runs from 7 November 2025 to 11 April 2026 at Blackwell - the Arts & Crafts House, Bowness-on-Windermere
Entry is included in admission prices to Blackwell which start from £12 for adults

Opening this October at the William Morris Gallery, E17, Women in Print: 150 Years of Liberty Textiles celebrates the women who have shaped Liberty’s iconic fabrics. Marking both Liberty’s 150th and the Gallery’s 75th anniversaries, the show spans over a century of design—from Collier Campbell’s bold patterns to Althea McNish’s radiant use of colour— alongside rare archive material and garments made from Liberty prints. More than a look back, it also asks what the future holds for women in textile design.
Women in Print: 150 Years of Liberty Textiles is at William Morris Gallery, E17 from Saturday 18 October 2025 - Sunday 21 June 2026
