London shopping: Russell Roberts

This quiet, unassuming storefront on buzzy Cheshire Street in East London is home to a carefully-edited selection of modernist 20th century furniture, art and collectables. For those who like their mid-century designers, there are chairs by Eames and Wegner, Italian lighting and English Ercol chairs. A psychedelic late 1970s Peter Max (Beatles’ Yellow Submarine artist) ice bucket wearing sunglasses adds a quirky and fun element to the store, as well as the selection of cup-holding ‘80s robots.


I like the rosewood 1950s Danish sideboard by Arne Vodder and a USM Haller red steel office storage unit which could be used as a modular sideboard.
