New York’s favourite homeware store Fishs Eddy has arrived in London. Available exclusively at Liberty, their kitsch kitchenalia has been a big hit stateside, and we’re delighted to unveil their new space in our Dining Room on the 3rd floor.
Established in 1986, Fishs Eddy began by selling interesting finds, curiosities and stacks of vintage restaurant dinnerware from a shop near Gramercy Park. Now the store sells ranges of edgy, unique and fun dishes and glasses.
“I love Fishs Eddy so I’m thrilled they are taking up residency in the Dining Room. It’s is all about fun, practical tableware and kitchen accessories, everything is bright and above all useful. My favourite pieces are the striper glasses and the ‘Cheer Up’ collection; they add great humour to any kitchen!”
Illustrator Rory Dobner produces exquisite and intricately detailed pen and ink artworks, which are available as framed originals or printed onto gifts such as his much loved alphabet tiles. We met Rory in his beautiful Hampstead studio to find out more about his inspiration for these incredible pieces, which varies from everyday objects to situations captured in his travel journals.
If you’re after something extra special and a little unusual for your Valentine, Rory will be in store to personalise his illustrations, tiles and scrolls:
FRIDAY 10th February
12pm – 3pm
4pm – 8pm
SATURDAY 11th February
12pm – 3pm
A limited number of customers will also be able to work with Rory to create a bespoke coat of arms and illustrations of their pets (time permitting).
If you can’t make it to store, you can also order one of his ‘Heart’ tiles online. Simply place your order online before 12pm tomorrow, tell us the message you’d like scribed on the back, and we’ll make sure your tile is delivered to your loved one in time for Valentine’s Day.

Jewellery designer Alex Monroe paid us a visit last week to meet customers and launch his new Black Chrysanthemum collection. We’re big fans of his delicate and witty charms, and this new range is no exception. You can watch our video interview with him now on Liberty TV. We figure Mr Monroe has an eye for style, and so while he was in store we also got him to pick out a few of his favourite pieces: things he’ll be hoping to find under the tree this Christmas…
