In Need of Inspiration?

Dear Saint Valentine,this year will you please bring me some good design!

The Shop Floor Project has put together a little idea’s book for Valentine’s Day to help avoid the nightmare of kitsch merchandise this February.

We have selected a collection of alternative objects that you may want to suggest to love ones or to simply treat yourself to. As with everything in The Shop Floor Project we hope these objects will be treasured and loved for years to come.
