After graduating from art college, Sarah moved into styling and sold her vintage founds in Portobello Market until she launched Supermarket Sarah where she basically created unique, striking displays for various people & brands online. I think the concept is genius!
Since then, her famous displays have spread into public spaces like galleries, bars and she even had a pop-up store at Selfridges and did some installations for Donna Wilson, Tom Dixon etc.
WONDER WALLS is about embrace everything we own and learn how put it on display and there is some great examples for all of us who love vintage, collecting, fixing, displaying.
At some point in my life, I was starting a collection as soon as I had 4 items from the same series (I still have a massive Egg collection at my mum's and key rings and stamps and small metal boxes...). Do you know what I'm talking about? :-))
There is some pretty wacky interiors in the book such as the home of the Godfather of Japanese Horror comics, Kazuo Umezu and in contrast some more peaceful interiors like the home of fashion designer Asa Stenerhag (photo 4) which draws inspiration from nature, both in her art and her fashion line - very inspiring...
The good news is that I have teamed up with CICO BOOKS to offer 3 readers the chance to win a copy of this fabulous week.

I love the idea of putting everything on display, otherwise what's the point of owning it?? I hope I win and I hope you ship to Australia.
I have followed Sarah for a while now and have her book on my Xmas list - getting it a little early wouldn't hurt ;)

The word supermarket caught my eye. And I've browsed and enjoyed what I see. Hope you accept comments from Vancouver, BC! The book likes like an idea generator.
Hmm, I did leave a comment - let's try again. The book looks like a great idea generator!

YES! YES! YES! Bodie and Fou - you bad girls! You already have me addicted to the Edition Paumes books and now you dangle this stunning tome in front of me! Just these few pages have me crawling the walls with design lust and itching to get my hands on it! Fingers and toes crossed to the nines. Oh dear, it looks like I'll have to remodel the flat again...
