Doopo Doopo

A big up to the massive Polish readership of My Friend’s House today, via Forest Hill. I am no longer a resident of The Hills, but I called in last week to visit a baby, and took a turn around a new shop-gallery, DoopoDoopo. I even made a purchase of this lovely wycinanki cushion (that’s Polish paper cutting to you). Crumpled bedlinen, stylist’s own.

Gaul-Zych Deco

This cushion is by Gaul Deco, displaying one of their many traditional Polish textile designs – they even do bean bags if you’re a fan of floor-level folk art. It was part of the current display at DoopoDoopo, which the charming Polish manager told me changes every month or so. They even have meet-the-artist evenings and an ‘artsy clothes swap’ night. They make their own fun in The Hills. I recommend a visit.

    As you say, delightful. It has a kind of retro seventies feel without any depressing orange and brown.

    Brilliant! Nothing beats ‘wycinanki’. We had to do it at school:)). Bests Monika
