It's here at last - the last few weeks of Found in Whitstable.  Our shop will close at the end of the day on Monday 6th May.

All our continuing stock has been relocated so it's now "Everything Must Go" from the shop floor.  Grab yourself a real  bargain as many more items have been added to the stock clearance.  Drop by the shop if you can for the full range including extra ex-display items, but for those of you who can't make it in we have listed as much as we can in our Sale section on the website.

And if we don't get a chance to see or speak to you before then - thanks for all your support - it's been a blast!!!

Danish designers Vita have just announced the arrival of the XL size of their beautiful Eos Feather Light.  The original Eos & Mini lights have been really popular and we think these will too - perfect for filling a larger space...  75cm in diameter by 45cm high they make a real statement!

                    

Happy New Year to one & all!!!  Paid a trip to the Home Tradeshow in Earls Court yesterday and was very excited to see the latest offerings from FatBoy... Our favourites are the Non-Flying Carpet Rugs & CO9 XS who is an oversized lounge rabbit.  Rugs available immediately - all other new items from April.

We're busy getting them loaded up onto the website for you to checkout but we think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

                                

Straight from 100% Design, these feather pendant lights from Danish company Vita were our favourite find at this year's show.  Its beautiful oval shape i s made from authentic bird feathers, each carefully positioned on a paper core by hand. It radiates a cosy and pleasant glow, and because the light bulb is shielded, the Eos is perfect to hang above a table, in a hall-way or indeed any place where you don’t want to be blinded by a light source.  Great Eco credentials & all at a very reasonable price...

            

We will be staying open until 9pm on Saturday 15th September whilst artists Harriet Gifford and Hazel Stone project 6 short films onto the facade of Budgens from our upstairs window for the Whitstable Beinnale. Hope to see you there!!!

A very talented photographer has taken an amazing picture when passing by our shop a few weeks ago & he kindly sent it to us.  We were so impressed we wanted to share it with you all!  Love the effects he's used.  His name is Colin Birchall and he doesn't have a website but can be contacted via email on boonara@btinternet.com.

.... last few days.  Just been chatting to a customer about how fabulous the Thomas Heatherwick exhibition is, and although the Olympic torch was a triumph and his Spun chairs are great fun, neither of them really do justice to the scale & ingenuity of his work.  The V&A exhibition ends on 3rd September, so there's still time to catch it if you haven't already.......a truly inspirational man!

                 

At long, long last they've finally arrived....following the popularity of the Jeeves & Wooster Pendant lights, we have just taken delivery of Jeeves (Bowler Hat) table lamps & wall lights.  They were originally due in April but they're definitely worth the wait!!!

Block Design is a Cornwall based design collective specialising in the design and manufacture of interior accessories.  All of their items are carved in lovely bright coloured acrylic which fit perfectly in with the Found product range... It's the attention to detail which really makes a room & the Block range offers perfect finishing touches.  We just love it all!  Bathroom cord pulls, tealight holders, photo frames & portable lights available with prices from just £12.

 

It's here again!  The Whitstable Oyster Festival 2012 started on Saturday and the weather has been really kind to us this year.  The town is heaving and it's bringing lots of customers new & old into the shop.  It's rather nice to hear people say "We came into your shop last year..." and we're feeling much more like part of the furniture instead of the new kid on the block...

We even had Natalie Cassidy outside the shop filming for ITV's Daybreak - not that we ahd time to watch it!

Enjoy the sunshine!!!
