Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at The Six Bells Soho pop-up, Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year, and Salvesen Graham for Yolke. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

The Six Bells Soho Pop-Up

The Six Bells, a charming storybook-inspired country store specializing in homewares, has unveiled a picture perfect pop-up shop in Soho, Manhattan. Under the vision of Audrey Gelman, the founder of The Six Bells, a cottage-core fantasy has come to life. Inspired by the whimsical village of Barrow’s Green, The Six Bells draws creative inspiration from this fictional hamlet nestled in the English countryside, with a modest population of just 640 residents.

In this picturesque town in the English country side, visitors encounter a manor house, a vibrant high street dotted with shops, a tranquil meadow where sheep graze, quaint beehive cottages crowned with thatched roofs, and a village green that sets the stage for cricket matches and annual fetes. The community is further enriched by a weekly newspaper, The Green Evening Chronicle, chronicling the tales of a diverse cast of unique characters with intricately woven backstories, which can be explored further here.

The Six Bells radiates an emotional connection to the rural landscape it draws inspiration from, weaving together a diverse set of brands. The store proudly showcases creations from quilt makers in Alabama, textiles originating in West Dorset, and ceramics crafted in the Sarthe Valley, offering a truly eclectic and delightful shopping experience.

The Six Bells pop up is officially open on 138 Wooster between Prince and Houston! It will be open this week from 11am-6pm and from 12pm- 6pm all of next. Be sure to stop in for all you last minute Christmas gifts and decor needs!

Pantone Color of the Year 2024

Pantone has unveiled Peach Fuzz, a subtle hue that falls beautifully between pink and orange, as the Color of the Year for 2024. Each year the color authority introduces a new hue that symbolizes the anticipated year ahead. Whether or not this color prediction holds true, it consistently sparks anticipation and enthusiasm within the design industry.

As per Pantone, Peach Fuzz isn’t just a color; it’s a cozy embrace, stirring compassion and weaving connections among people. According to Leatrice Eiseman, the maestro behind Pantone’s color magic, Peach Fuzz embodies belonging, sparks recalibration, and opens doors for nurturing moments. This shade isn’t just about visuals; it’s a comforting source that echoes profoundly, adding to a state of being that’s harmonious and balanced.

The allure of Peach Fuzz, a feminine hue with lively undertones, has garnered The Glam Pad’s enthusiasm. Striking a harmonious chord between pink and orange, it proves to be a wonderfully versatile and surprisingly easy color to work into a home. What do you think of Peach Fuzz?

Each piece radiates charm, embodying the flawless blend of style and charisma that Salvesen Graham and Yolke effortlessly exude.
