If you’re in the market for a taxidermied Belgian Tiger, Victorian-style miniature greenhouse or oversized wooden eyeball (who isn’t these days?) you could aimlessly scour your local tip, burgle neighbourhood loon or try your luck on ebay.
But in the interests of safety may we suggest perusing the idiosyncratic wares at Nick Knight’s newly opened SHOWstudio shop instead? It’ll save time and you won’t have to pick through rat infested junk piles to get to the good stuff.
On offer are wonderfully warped pieces created for editorial purposes or as the site explains: “Nick Knight and SHOWstudio curate an exclusive selection of one-of-a-kind creations by world-renowned designers, artists, set designers and craftsmen. Offering these unique collectors’ items for sale for the first time, SHOWstudio SHOP offers the unprecedented opportunity to purchase a true piece of fashion history.”
Here are some of the mind blowing items on offer.
