It’s a very noticeable store, that sells funky, bright, retro designed furniture. It’s really unique and you probably won’t find things like these anywhere else. There’s a lot to choose from and it’s definitely worth checking out.

We recently went to Squint on Shoreditch High St to look for a piece of furniture for our bedroom. Squint is a stunning bespoke furniture shop which was started by Lisa Whatmough(a former Sculptor and Painter) at the beginning of 2005 in East London. The shop has a wonderful feeling when you walk in(not least because of Lisa’s lovely little dog who pads around the studio!). There is a lot of vibrant and colourful fabric to look at and all have been cleverly worked into quality upholstering of beautiful pieces of fine antique furniture. Lisa told us that she had been collecting a mix of contemporary and vintage fabrics for many years before finding that she could use her designing skills to create a fusion of period furniture and fabrics to make one-off, bespoke pieces. The Squint range comprises items such as Victorian chaise longues, 60’s style Egg chairs and all types of upholstered furniture(including bed settees and sofas) as well as mirrors and lighting. The furniture is unqiue and very individual. Well worth checking out Lisa’s website or taking a trip to her shop to see her work. It’s truly inspirational.

Do you like amazing bright, colourful and patterned fabric? This shop is amazing! Furniture, mirrors and lighting all covered in patchwork appliqué with a range of exquisite fabric and each piece is bespoke. Situated on Shoreditch High Street recently re-located next door to Tesco Metro, huge glass front window showcasing all the amazing colours and furniture. Lisa Whatmough a former Sculptor and Painter formed the Squint business in 2005 aiming to utilise all the antique textiles she had been collecting. She has showcased her work in a range of magazines and newspapers. I just love this shop. You walk in and the colours and patterns and fabric just light up and you feel a sense of energy and colourfulness. I would love to have quilted Victorian chaise lounge in my front room!

Even looking through the window of Squint is a wonderful feast for the eyes. Crammed full of Chairs, Mirrors and lampshades all upholstered in a patchwork of colourful patterns and textures. Whether looking to purchase or not, Squint furniture is impressively beautiful, imposing yet quirky and modern, totally unlike anything else on the market and definitely worth stealing a peak at.
