All We Want For Christmas … Rockett St George

Jane Rockett and Lucy St George set up their eponymous online shop WHEN and were last year voted into the top 1o online stores by the Sunday Times. Their eclectic collection of modern, industrial and practical with a twist has gained them a huge following. When choosing stock, the rule is that if they want it themselves, it’s right for the shop. So, with that in mind, mad about the house asked them what they want for Christmas. Because the rule is-  if they want it we probably do too.

Anything from Rory Dobner

I love anything drawn but the talented and very lovely Rory Dobner.  His tiles, canvases and cushions would all look perfect in my home.

 High Fashion by Ceal Warnants
£175
I have always loved Ceal’s work and would be delighted to receive this print. Done well, a wall full of mix and match art can make for a really striking look. However there is a fine line between an eclectic mix of images and overkill.

We always have a Rockett St George Christmas celebration and treat ourselves to dinner somewhere fabulous such as The Wolseley’s Dining Room.  Set in the old Wolseley Showroom next door to the Ritz, The restaurant has a wonderful vibe and is always buzzing from morning till late.  The brasserie style food is always delicious and room is especially electric at Christmas.

  1. I spent over £400 on presents from Rockett Saint George. They sent them to the wrong address and after we had to ‘swap’ our parcel a present was missing and the main item a lamp for my fiancé was damaged beyond repair. This is shameful customer service. I have no gift and there’s only four days to Christmas. Utterly devastating.
